#wordoftheyear

For weeks now, I've been trying to come up with a Word of the Year for 2025.

In 2023, I picked PIVOT. In 2024, LOVE. They were both very appropriate & I fell back on them often. This year, tho, the only words I can think of are SADNESS, DESPAIR, HOPELESS...& a little bit of OH, DEAR JESUS--NOOOOOO!!!!!! But those all feel a tad too...negative for a #WordOfTheYear, don't you think?

I could maybe go with HOPE, but since I'm not really feeling it, I'm not sure it will help.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, right, Christiane Knight

Leave the year behind; we must always move forward

Goodbye to 2024, a year that brought me growth and opportunity, a third novel published and new opportunities to do readings, share thoughts, and learn from others. It wasn't the easiest year and there were certainly disappointments, but I'm not going to rehash those. There's going to be plenty of time to deal wit

Christiane Knight · Leave the year behind; we must always move forward - Christiane KnightGoodbye to 2024, a year that brought me growth and opportunity, a third novel published and new opportunities to do readings, share thoughts, and learn from others. It wasn’t the easiest year and there were certainly disappointments, but I’m not going to rehash those. There’s going to be plenty of time to deal with challenges, so I’m staying focused on the things I can control and will enjoy. My Word for 2025 As you might know if you’ve been following me for any amount of time, I always choose a word that encompasses what I’m focusing on or seeking to bring into my life. This word will guide me and remind me of my goals for the year. And this year I chose EMERGENCE as my word. Emergence: the process of coming into being, or becoming important or prominent. It can also mean the process of coming into view after being concealed, something that I’ve become well-versed in after my time in enforced confinement thanks to illness. Now I’m ready to bloom, to show what I’ve got to the world, and to share that light with you. I have a special announcement that will be coming very soon in 2025, […]

”But brain rot is not just a linguistic quirk. Over the past decade, scientific studies have shown that consuming excessive amounts of junk content — including sensationalist news, conspiracy theories and vacuous entertainment — can profoundly affect our brains. In other words, “rot” may not be that big of an exaggeration when it comes to describing the impact of low-quality online content.“

👀 Oxford English Dictionary word of the year: “brain rot”
- “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging." - Few people are aware of how literally technology is rotting our brains, and how decisively compulsive internet use is destroying our grey matter.
