merriamwebster_feed Nov. 28th, 2025 12:00 am)Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 28, 2025 is:
sustain • \suh-STAYN\ • verb
To sustain someone or something is to provide what is needed for that person or thing to exist or continue. Sustain also means "to hold up the weight of," "to suffer or endure," or "to confirm or prove." In legal contexts, to sustain something is to decide or state that it is proper, legal, or fair.
// Hope sustained us during that difficult time.
// The shed roof collapsed, unable to sustain the weight of all the snow.
// The athlete sustained serious injuries during last week's game.
Examples:
"Pushing fallen leaves into garden beds to insulate plants and nourish the soil will also shelter hibernating insects that, in turn, will sustain ground-feeding birds. It's much better for the ecosystem—and easier for the gardener—than bagging them up and sending them to a landfill." — Jessica Damiano, The Chicago Daily Herald, 12 Oct. 2025
Did you know?
The word sustain is both handy and hardy. Its use has been sustained since the days of Middle English (it traces back to the Latin verb sustinēre meaning "to hold up" or "to sustain") by its utility across a variety of consequential subjects, from environmental protections to legal proceedings to medical reports. The word is so prevalent and so varied in its application, in fact, that it enjoys sustained high ranking as one of our top lookups—evidence of our readers' sustained commitment to, well, sustaining themselves with information about words.

Interestingly, both nurse sharks (Gurafin, specifically a leucistic nurse shark) and sandbar sharks (Murderbite, while sandbars look really dangerous (one of the largest coastal sharks, and are closely related to the bull shark) they’re considered one of the safest sharks to swim with) bite each others fins while mating.

For those celebrating, I hope you had a good holiday. Me, I went to this...I don't want to call it a soup kitchen per se, free community meal? Mostly it's there and free for the students who can't go home and for townspeople who can't afford it etc. Helped out. Had lunch of well stuffing and cake and a bit of turkey. the rest is...not to my taste but that's okay. Can't complain about free.
Came home, didn't clean. Wrote some. Did book reviews I forgot to do. Made pumpkin soup, stuffin muffins and threw the rotisserie turkey breast in the oven. Not a bad meal at all.
I have Free HBO, Starz etc this weekend. Have recorded the new Superman movie and 5 episodes of It Welcome to Derry so there's that.
Hope you all had a nice day. I'm thankful for my friends in RL and online.

“Tgiving” is what my family calls it, to go with “Xmas.” It’s an important event in the Teeth family. I hope yours was a good one, even if it was just a Thursday to you.

Living beyond growth: How communities bypass the machine
The paradox of modern life is that economies grow larger every year, yet most people do not feel more secure or more fulfilled. Global production has multiplied many times over in the last century, but inequality persists, and ecological systems face collapse. Growth is celebrated as the path to prosperity, yet its reality often means longer working hours, deeper debts, and fragile supply chains that make us more vulnerable rather than less.

I made it! I don't know how I did considering the amazing disaster that my life has been this year (I keep tempting fate by thinking things can't get worse and then they do!), especially the past couple months. (Perfect example was yesterday, where I was sweating like a pig from putting up some decorations and wiped out from fatigue and also couldn't get my new replacement laptop to work and so I was sitting there sweating and crying from frustration. My life, man. Sweating and crying. What.)
Anyways, I finally finished the WIP I started five freaking years ago, posting as a WIP because in the past, that kept me on track and I was worried about finishing so I wouldn't let things slide. And then I did anyways! But it is now done, and just in time for my annual birthday fic posting. I don't imagine anyone reading this at this point, but in case one person does, well, here you go.

Summary:
“Exitus!” Steve shouted, slamming his hand against the door where the mandala should have been, and suddenly he was on the chair in his room, gasping. In this world.
Steve lowered the glass to his lap and looked up at Shuri. His heart was beating way too hard and fast. “You were right,” he said, sitting up. “He’s glitching. I don’t know if I can get him out.”

Scientists warn half the world’s beaches could disappear
Rising seas and human pressures are rapidly shrinking the world’s beaches and destabilizing the ecosystems that depend on them.
Human development and climate-driven sea level rise are accelerating global beach erosion and undermining the natural processes that sustain coastal ecosystems. Studies reveal that urban activity on the sand harms biodiversity in every connected zone, magnifying worldwide erosion risks.
This sounds overly optimistic. Beaches -- in the sense of pleasant sandy stretches -- are by definition shallow shorelines. Little if any of that will be left given the rapid rise of sea level. That's before factoring in other hazards such as sand theft, erosion, etc. Of course, there will always be places where land and water meet, but those won't be in the same places in the future, wherever there is a shallow slope of land facing a large body of water. Ironbound coasts, which have a high rocky cliff, are much less subject to inundation.
