Thanks to the lovely book, Mythos, and to the even lovelier Stephen Fry for writing it, this is my #weirdwords pick for today! Link to the mythological origin/story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycaon_(king_of_Arcadia)
Enjoy! #weirdwordwednesday

I'm so despondent today--as are a lot of us--that I can only give vocabulary in emojis.

CBee Yep, pretty much sums it up for me. Sending you love, my friend ♥️ 2w

I am angry and devastated. And I am going to take today to just be angry and sad.

But tomorrow, I will dust myself off and put in the work. Because this is my country too goddamnit, and I refuse to let it be sacrificed on the altar of fascism to a racist, misogynistic, cowardly, traitorous demagogue.

TheBookHippie Same 2w

OriginalCyn620 So accurate though. Feel the same. 2w

JenReadsAlot Same 2w

DeeLew Unfortunately, I am feeling all of those things and more. 🙁 2w

CBee @DeeLew oh yes. I couldn‘t fit all of the words in the box to describe how I‘m feeling 😵‍💫 Plus a few choice words I probably shouldn‘t post 😂🫢 2w

ncsufoxes Same 2w

Megabooks Yup. I am bereft. 2w

DeeLew @CBee I am trying to formulate a thoughtful post for Facebook but all of the things I want to say would probably get unfriended and/or banned 😂😞 2w

CBee @DeeLew I don‘t do Facebook - I think I stopped using it right after he was elected the first time. It‘s just too toxic 😐 2w

Amiable I saw a post that said, “It's now painfully obvious that racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia and hate are not deal-breakers for millions of Americans if a gallon of milk costs too much.“ 2w

CBee @Amiable yep. The ones who voted for him aren‘t considering the bigger picture. It‘s just, can I pay less at the grocery store? Twisted priorities. 2w

Deblovestoread Same. I feel like I‘ve jumped into an alternate universe. This can‘t possibly be the world I meant to live in. Just devastated 2w

Hooked_on_books Right there with you. Pretty sure I‘ll be in shock for a while. 2w

The_Penniless_Author @CBee The worst part is, nothing he's going to do will make the least bit of difference to the price of groceries or anything else. It's bad enough to sell out others' civil rights for a quick buck, but doing it for nothing but a bunch of empty promises is beyond the pale. 2w

BarbaraBB My heart breaks again reading the comments above 💔💙 (edited) 2w

Amiable @The_Penniless_Author I said the exact same thing to my sister, who supports him: Don't ever think for a second that he does anything intended to help you. He's a grifter who is in this for his own interests (now, it's to stay out of prison). If something he does happens to trickle down to you as a positive benefit, it's purely a fluke. Because he and his ilk certainly do not give a rat's a$$ about anybody else. 2w

Zuhkeeyah @Amiable 👏🏾👏🏾 Exactly. 2w

CarolynM Hugs 2w

CBee @The_Penniless_Author I keep telling myself that half the country must be completely brainwashed. Or abducted by aliens and replaced with his minions. I will never, ever understand how he gets so much support. 2w

CBee @Amiable exactly. Nothing is done for anyone else but him. 2w

Suet624 @CBee believe it or not a Trump voter in our neighborhood expressed his delight, and then started talking about how aliens were first on the planet, and implanted our souls. My friend,and I were so puzzled as well as bereft. 2w

CBee @Suet624 ummmmm wow. I‘m not sure I‘d know what to say to that 😳😳😳 2w

JudeCC 😞 Devastated and disappointed of our country. 💔🌈 2w

ChelseaM6010 So accurate and I‘m still in shock. 2w

BookmarkTavern Hope life gets better! Also! My mom has a version of this. Letters and numbers are colors in her head! 3w

CatLass007 Thanks for sharing! This is a great word and I will share a screenshot of your graphic with my friend who has a masters in nursing and a masters in psychiatry. I‘m sure she will have much to say about the subject but since she‘s in the hospital I‘ll humor her by listening to her every thought on the subject. 3w

Amiable I've always liked the word synesthesia! Hugs for the life stuff. 3w

dabbe Love this word and your picture! Thinking of you and hoping life slows down for you a bit asap. 🖤🧡🖤 3w

CBee @BookmarkTavern that‘s so interesting! Does it bother her at all? It seems rather lovely to me, especially related to music 😊 3w

CBee @CatLass007 that‘s what good friends do 😊 3w

CBee @Amiable I‘ll take the hugs, thank you 😊 3w

CBee @dabbe thank you, my friend 😊 3w

BookmarkTavern She had to read very quickly, otherwise she gets distracted by the colors. But she loves it. She actually found the list she wrote in elementary school a couple months ago. 😁 3w

CBee @BookmarkTavern oh wow, how cool! 3w
