OP barstoolsports on TikTok

[teaboot]

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

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

made a post about how I'm relieved and excited to be alive in 2026 and how I'm glad I exist in a time where music and education and communication are so expansive and accessible and said post wasn't even up for a single hour before someone started declaring that actually there are evil revolting breaches of human rights happening right now. not even an hour

[crabussy]

I am asking with all the kindness I can muster to please let people tentatively express their hope for the future without needing to remind them that actually, sometimes life is terrible and horrific. I am aware. please trust me I am so aware. I am alive on planet earth. it is hard to not be aware. I just also want to enjoy being alive. I don't have to be constantly miserable in order to care about other people. jesus fucking christ
