I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, 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. Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! Proudly a Free Being, eschewing the arbitrary. 100% human (she / her). I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
Today’s newly learned word to save up for Scrabble:
Xiphoid — Shaped like a sword, gladiate.
Norm Tovey-Walsh I'd have bet money that was spelled "xyphoid." It's also the name for the little bone at the bottom of the sternum. So named for it's shape, surely.
Miraz Jordan @ndw A web search suggests the y spelling is more common but both are used.
