Give me a map of the midwest how you imagine it, and don't just use state lines, show me how you think the cultural area of the midwest actually exists in the US

[vacuously-true]

Blue dots: cities that come to mind if I'm trying to name a Midwestern city to explain the Midwest to someone

Green dots: other cities among the 120 most populous cities in the US which feel probably Midwestern to me

Orange shaded region: Midwest core

Purple shaded region: yeah sure probably Midwestern but it kind of depends on context (Food? Demographics? Religion? Politics? Music? Natural environment/climate?)

Black dotted line: approximate "upper Midwest" versus "lower Midwest" boundary

Red line: approximate "the South" boundary- yes I guess I believe the South and the Midwest aren't mutually exclusive

Pink circled region: the Great Plains- a unified region which should be included or excluded from the Midwest as a package deal. I typically include it but I don't feel strongly about whether it would be better to consider it a separate but related region. However, if someone thinks the only thing west of the Midwest is The West, then the Great Plains should be in the Midwest, because they are definitely NOT the West.

[vacuously-true]

I thought about some of the qualities people might think about the Midwest and looked up maps for them. Here they are, with the Midwest indicated by that quality circled. Note I am not making claims about whether any of these qualities are good or bad, they're just things that get associated with midwesternness.

"the Midwest is flat"

"the Midwest is not diverse"

"the Midwest was a hub for the Great Migration"

"the Midwest is union states that were not the original colonies or the far west"

"the Midwest has a significant mainline protestant population" (pink ABCUSA, orange ELCA, and green UMC on this map)

"the Midwest is farmland"

"the Midwest has wet summers and dry winters"

"people in the Midwest are of primarily German, Scandinavian, and Native American ancestry"

There are lots of these kinds of things that aren't occurring to me at the moment. But just for fun let's combine these ones into a map! There's a transparent purple layer for each of the previous maps, and a black outline for places that fall into at least 5 of the 8 regions.

Maybe this is the Midwest? Probably better than my first reblog on instinct alone.

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

[aj-living-life]

Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.

[aj-living-life]

Fun update: event was canceled because literally nobody rsvp'd to the AI flier.

i want to be annoyed that the bi loveseat is just a fun and quirky reminder that biphobia exists but the creepy plastic hands combined with a “nobody believes you” cushion just makes it fucking immaculate biphobia horror couch

I love this but not for the intended reason

I hate everyone that made me see this

[dracofidus-deactivated20200523]

If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you’d best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we’ve always had a little contact over the years and he heard I’d come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to “Sarah” and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and took loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Uther and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all of the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a final massive hug, waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I got back safe.

lie to me

[jaybeefoxy]

A stalwart of British acting, with an incredibly varied talent, from the hilarious Hercules Shipwright in Cabin Pressure, to long suffering Giles in Buffy, even Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror on stage, Anthony Head, you shall be missed.
