It all started on TikTok when Jools Lebron (@joolieannie) posted a series of videos over the past few weeks, giving advice on how to look "demure" and "mindful" at work and in life

These kinds of tiktok things are fun for like one day and then it's severely overused and corny. And then you know it's over when you see like, the Home Depot tiktok account comment "very demure, very mindful" on someone's video.

Actually, while we're on the subject of tiktok brain rot speak - I was at a park the other day and there was an older woman with a dog. When people would come up to pet the dog, the owner would say "she's very friendly, but she does not like men." and one girl said "omg girly pop, same. Men are trash" and it was just so corny. I didn't think anyone spoke like that in real life.

I say girly pop but mostly to my neighbors cat.

I hate this demure thing. It is like 80% of my instagram currently.

lol i call our girl cat girly pop and only in the privacy of my house

[rainbows_are_ok]

haha calling pets or babies girly pop is ok in my book. I just thought it was corny in that context.

I think looking professional at work is important but over the years what is considered professional has become more relaxed.

However the words demure and modest sound like dog whistles.

However the words demure and modest sound like dog whistles.

this is also why i hate "vulgar", it sets off every alarm in my head

[skyler_white_yo]

Oops, it’s mindful not modest, but my point still stands.

No you were right the first time. The TikToker does mention being modest after their Marge Simpson vs. Patty and Selma analogy.

The tone def does seem like a joke though
