It's the day! One Smile More is now live, you can read it with your very own eye holes, and this brings me great joy.

A dark historical fantasy set in Victorian London (with a Scottish mage protagonist), this is a bloody and sweet story with murder, vampires, and more than a touch of arson.

Clocking in at just over 400 pages she is a tome, but a lovely one, and I am just delighted with the reviews so far.

Link is below should you wish to take peek and that screaming noise you can hear is in fact me.

This is why the ridiculous tiktok and youtube banned terms lists bothered me so, then hear kids using euphamisms instead even irl. JUST USE THE WORDS.

Thank you for this list, the website just shows 404 error for me

Sorry if this is overstepping or you already did this one ^^;

The website linked through qr-code appears to no longer be online.

For example: my post on the removal of the words "bisexual" and "transgender" from the stonewall national monument page

These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration

Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows ma

^ March 7, 2025 article by nyt about 'flagged' and removed words. Includes less words than previous reblog, but time has passed since then.

Somewhere after Jan 15, 2025, the entire reproductiverights.gov website went offline.

The reblogged list is from pen.org/banned-words-list, updated May 28, 2025

While not all these words are fully banned, they are still 'to be used less' or used to flag material for 'further review'.

I therefore consider it right to say this is true

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

theist accelerationism: the world needs to get as bad as possible as fast as possible so God is forced to intervene

atheist accelerationism: the world needs to get as bad as possible as fast as possible in order to trigger a collapse of the current economic and socio-political structure

agnostic accelerationism: nobody knows why the world needs to get as bad as possible as fast as possible

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

[softboyshaven]

Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like "My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I'm going to wait for him but I'd like to find him faster,ya know?" And Holmes figures out that it was this girl's parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn't be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like "Well,you caught me! But it wasn't illegal:) so:)" and Holmes is like "No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn't." And the man is like "No,she doesn't." And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like "Well,I guess I'll do then!" And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.
