Interesting word of the week, bdelloid
: From the Ancient Greek βδέλλα (bdella, "leech").
That bd
combination at the start! Can't wait for this to come up in Scrabble.
Where I got this word from: a SciShow video.

I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I also enjoy drinking tea — green, white, yellow, but not black. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, which I love, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In 2025 I expect to move to Ruakākā near Whangārei. Apparently the bizarre is normal now. Almost 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! Proudly independent. 100% human (she / her). I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018.
