the hard cider options in South Dakota are killing me

(it's basically Angry Orchard or Redd's. this is not a hard cider part of the country, which is something of a shock to my system after having lived in two apple-producing states that have a lot of local hard ciders. and I am a hard cider drinker! I don't like wine so I also sub hard cider for wine when cooking (which, like, Angry Orchard is fine for that, but it's the most basic hard cider out there). also it's illegal to ship cider direct to consumer in South Dakota so I can't even order it. sometimes state-by-state laws are bad actually!)

i love what you said about the cc “drama”! carter would not just randomly shove a player like that. that’s not how this works. anyone who has done any research on her as well KNOWS that she plays aggressive. she’s gotten into it with other teammates in locker rooms before. that’s just the game she plays and she’s talented and it’s entertaining. plus like you said, cc was probably egging her on. everyone is trying to turn this into drama and a feud when it’s just how chennedy plays. caitlin is bringing in a lot of views and money to the league but i won’t stand for people acting as if she’s never trash talked or gotten fired up on the court, all while trying to demean these other women.

yeahh caitlin was probably shit talking and yapping in her ear throughout the game, and carter just got tired of it 🤷‍♀️

caitlin doesn’t need to be coddled or handled with gentle hands— she knows how to sell it or give it right back !!!!!

here are words from iowa’s best trash talker herself (even though she doesn’t call it that lol)

Love my aunt but sometimes our eastern/central european heritage does seem to spontaneously possess her and make her do things like cook “stir fry” that is 70% green cabbage

was getting a coffee at tims today and the sweet older lady taking my order read my shirt line for line just "fall out boy... scar crossed lovers... heaven iowa... are you a fan of iowa?" and girl. I think being a fan of the humble iowa might be better for my psyche instead of being a fan of american rock band fall out boy.

bestie and i are going to a con as hoody and masky next month and i think it would be SO CUTE for our con trinkets to be some of my million old cassettes with something silly recorded on them

I don't have a plot yet but I think it would be very funny to write a fic where I somehow zap the Lower Decks crew to Real-Life Riverside Iowa.

To Kate Martin fans who are new to the W: the fact that the aces are down to the max of 12 players is a very good sign. However, there’s probably going to be one more cut, since the aces have a LOT of superstar contracts to be paying. (This is actually a mark in favor of KM. her rookie contract is cheap.) EVEN IF she gets cut, youll definitely see her at least once this year on a hardship contract—those last few people get asked to stick around.

so all of this is to say that at this point, KM probably won’t get cut, but if she does, it’s really not that bad. two days until you can OFFICIALLY get started celebrating though

I thought I wouldn't post until the next episode came out (I've been busy), but I need to tell you guys about this interaction I had with an irl

Me, after explaining the very basics of wttt: But the fanbase also has a lot of ships like Florida and Louisiana or Texas and Ca-

Friend, without missing a beat: Iowa and New York

Me: ... wh

Friend: Iowa. And. New York. Should kiss.

Me:

So I just found a new crack ship

Primer 55 performing Set It Off at Pigstock (sick festival name btw) in 2002 with a guest verse from a young man named Corey from Des Moines, not to be confused with the lead singer of Slipknot, also named Corey and from Des Moines.

little pieces of x reader wips that aren't really x readers but could be if you'd like them to be

angsty one that i probably wont ever post in full but will of course be sharing little pieces of it as i continue to edit

it's a game of emotional support chicken, where one of you has to decide who's gonna back out of wrapping your arms around the other first. you wouldn't know it but corey pouts when you shut your eyes, letting all your tears dribble down your chin.

bittersweet one thats mostly bitter where reader & corey are slightly codependent biffles in colorado

you nod, because corey does look like he's in a movie. he's in a blazer you saw him dig out of a thrift store’s dumpster, pants that don't fit him, and a shirt you remember him using as a pillow once. if this was all a movie, it'd be raining by now, and corey would look into your eyes with soppy blues and a pink nose. he'd be raising his fist in the air, marching to the dated soundtrack of his newfound identity, back turned to you, chin-first into the hustle and bustle of glorious iowa. as if either of you could point to it on a map. as if you wouldn't choose to sneak onto that bus with him, somehow, through the power of movie magic and sheer zest for adventure. if this was just a shitty john hughes flick, and not your best friend starting his life over- without you- you'd fast forward to ten years in the future where your lives just so happen to align again. probably.

the things I miss about the midwest are not the things I expected to miss about the midwest. like yeah yeah my family still lives there or whatever but you know what I would probably have if I lived in the midwest still?? a second fridge in the garage just for beverages.

"block anyone on your dash for not voting in this election!!!" babe i get what ur saying but im also not gonna block half my leftist mutuals just for being pissed off to the point of apathy and choosing to vent about it on tumblr. like i get it, i do, but also? nuance.

also here's a relevant newsweek article i read the other day. i think it's worth noting that voter apathy is very high rn and most of it is not social-media based (and the solution is not to cut out or block people who disagree with you, but it never is and tumblr users always seem to think it is so 🙄)
