Reclaiming Weird

Yesterday, Carol Off dropped by for a chat and we discussed the need to reclaim the meaning of words like freedom, democracy, truth, woke, choice and taxes. I told her I'd like to add a seventh word to that list: weird.
The Democrats in the United States have co-opted the word "weird" to use it against Republicans as a de-facto bad thing. They want you to see weird as something to avoid and ridicule.
I've always liked weird. A little bizarre, a little uncanny, weird isn't typical, and typically interesting. I'm a little weird. I'm attracted to weird. I don't think weird is bad, despite what the Democrats would have you believe.
So I'm reclaiming weird, on behalf the every other person who's a little weird.
