That post about rural America, Russia and China having the same energy reminds me of something that comes up every time someone here hears I grew up in Australia - people will be like “oh wow! so living here in Finland is the total opposite of what you’re used to” but you have to realise that the moment I first felt oddly at home here was when I was working in Inari village and one of the other guys there gestured at the lake before saying “we race snowmobiles on that in summer. Turns out they work on water”. Finland hides being a hick country behind a Helsinki-shaped smokescreen in the same way Australia tries to hide behind its 3 entire large cities, but if you go further north than about Jyväskylä (or drive an hour out of Sydney) you will know the truth and part of that truth is that all hick places in the world are the same. Someone in the forest near Kemi is probably trying to combine car modding and grilling like that Chinese guy did right this very second, and so is someone in the desert brush near Broken Hill, and the only difference is what kind of weather-repellent hat they’re wearing

every time wearing western "cowboy" style clothing becomes fashionable again we don't bring back western shirts and i think that's a terrible shame because they're sexy as fuck

like... gays... imagine how unstoppable we'd be if we all dressed like this more often

[britomartis]

@white gays please note that southern fashion/aesthetic/etc is full of indigenous influence so do not be fucking annoying about Discovering Cowboy Fashion please and also buy from native owned businesses if you want a piece of it. (like literally picture 3 has some faux-native patterning involved)

watch urself when you get obsessed with the southwest and do not be obnoxious bc all that shit you gays are all over now has been part of native culture for the longest, even (and especially) in the modern day.

white ppl LOVE stealing our shit and selling it marked the fuck up and decontextualized. do not be part of the problem.. change da world.. goodbye

utterly obsessed with the niche but incredibly romantic concept that is "late night radio show host falls hopelessly in love with and pines for recurring caller, oblivious to the fact that the person calling in whenever they're on air is also in love with and pining for them after finding comfort in listening to their voice every night on their long commutes home"
