censorship impacts so much—natural parts of life, personal expression, even history. Social platforms flag harmless content, and entire cultures are erased from textbooks. Using terms like ‘unalived’ isn’t ideal, but it’s often necessary to keep stories from being silenced. It’s a frustrating reality that highlights just how much control exists over what we can say—and why having real conversations matters. 🧵2/2 How do you feel about censorship in everyday conversations and on social media?

I'm curious that I feel the need to use eggplants and grapes, kitties and peaches as standins for my adult words. Just in case. We're reduced to infantilisms.

I am so over censorship. What happened to our first amendment right to freedom of speech. I would rather someone use their real words, but with a trigger warning alert so sensitive subjects can still be discussed.
