USA Cultural Regions Map

[theoneandonlyredrobin]

This is super cool

[fabulesque]

For non-Americans: this is actually accurate and reflects how Americans understand ourselves and regional identities. These aren’t official labels, but they’re not totally made up either.

[chiefavenueglitter]

I thought the Midwest was… Further west??? Also how is Texas SIX things, including “Texas”??? This is fascinating and terrifying in that order.

[max1461]

I’d say this map is largely accurate, through everyone is going to have their own minor squabbles with it. California seems right on, and that’s really my area of expertise. Kinda surprised by “southern great plains” dipping so far into Texas—is that really a thing? Also how stark is the great plains/midwest division anyway, I’ve always imagined them as basically the same. To people there really think of them as separate?

[facelessoldgargoyle]

Midwest region is extremely accurate. I haven’t heard the Northwoods called the Northwoods before, but it’s a distinct area, we’ve just called them “up near the Boundary Waters.” IMO it should cover the whole north of Minnesota. The reason the Upper Midwest extends into the Dakotas a little bit is that the major cities are in the east of those states. Everything west is corn and oil fields.

I’d also say more of Missouri is Great Plains, but I have had long and vigorous arguments with my buds about that. Great Lakes area is pretty much the same as the Upper Midwest, except being so close to that much water gives you gentler winters. Ohio River Valley is definitely different than Appalachia and my friends from Ohio have some fun stories about the intermingling of those cultures.

[krakensdottir]

I can sort of answer the Texas thing. See, Texas is huge and borders on multiple regions of the country, as well as another country altogether, so it’s functionally like four or five different states. The stereotypical TEXAS definitely exists, but it doesn’t cover anywhere near the entire state. The western and southern parts of the state are a whole different world, and the north is basically More Oklahoma.

Why the Midwest isn’t further west, though, I don’t have the answer. That’s been weirding me out since I was a kid.

[badmotherflanner]

Part of Oklahoma being included in Deep South is such a relief. I’ve been trying to explain why my husband and I, who grew up in regions 90 minutes apart, came from entirely different cultures.

[fiction--vs--reality]

I think of Great Lakes as a small subset of Upper Midwest. Also, the lakes don’t always make the winters gentler because of Lake-Effect Snow.

[jesterday00]

The “White man with blond hair and blue eyes” originated as an “Aryan Superior Race” type of thing on like. 4Chan or something.

ok, if that’s true, that doesnt change the fact literally *nobody* uses it like that at all.

i’m not going to bother scraping through the internet to personally find examples, but here is a page explaining Nordic Gamer’s history and common use. it was made and used for racist purposes, and it’s absolutely something white supremacists and nazis co-opt. you just don’t blog where you see it happening.

[nymph1e]

God I love this version

[v-ahavta]

This version also does something I very much like and haven’t seen in other adaptations; it implies that Benedick and Beatrice were into each other the whole time they’ve known each other, but were too busy bullying each other to talk about their feelings until they thought the other person was actually interested. Also it has David Tennant in drag and Catherine Tate in a suit.

In case anyone was curious: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky claimed that “So really these are people who were unwell to begin with and yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron. The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75 per cent, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities."

We're just inconvenient to have around. Let us die like lame horses. We were already sick anyways, right?

In moments like this I always fall back on the fact that they also aren’t speaking English because they don’t have England or the many languages and conquering peoples that contributed to the creation of the English language and therefore the work musr be a translation into recognizable terms in our world’s terms. Call that Tolkien Brainrot.

It’s called “Translation Convention” but “Tolkien Brainrot” is funnier.

[angiethewitch]

not to be dramatic but the uk is literally slipping into a legit fascist state rn, our rights to free speech are slowly being revoked and literally nobody is talking about it lmao I hate it here

[angiethewitch]

Internet anonymity possibly being revoked

rights to peaceful protest no longer a thing, AND what really gets me is the fact that police can arrest you if they THINK you're going to a protest or being disruptive. you're disabled and you walk by a protest about disability rights? police can arrest you on suspicion of partaking in a protest. couple of teens hanging out on a street corner? police can arrest you if theyre having a bad day and can say you are suspected of protest.

stop and search warrants. this goes back to the protest thing. you've just been to a DIY store and have bought some DIY equipment. police can now stop and search you with no reason and say you were using that equipment to incite a protest.

gag orders on the press

most UK press being in parliaments back pocket and therefore we get no real truth unless its leaked

maybe im going to the worst case scenario but I'd rather do that than be complacent. are you terrified yet?

[transsexualmaggot]

okay, really bad stuff

what can we do about it? /g

[angiethewitch]

honestly...talk about it. speak up about it and spread the word. minorities are suffering because of these laws and we can't even protest it right now. make people aware of it and share it. Parliament is trying to slip this through quietly while we're all distracted so let's make it harder for them to do it quietly
