I showed this post to my partner (who I met in college) and said this could also apply to hampshire

and he said “no— hampshire problems are real problems.”

sometimes going on tumblr feels like being held hostage at smith college

please note the map here as the regions considered the south here are the places labled: deep south, upper south (missouri and illinois you’re basically the midwest but i’m letting it slide. parts of oklahoma can stay bc they have good bbq), mid atlantic south, lower appalachia (im sorry but not you ohio, i have to draw a line somewhere), gulf coast, acadiana, texas (actually just all of texas), and low country. the ozarks and other appalachian regions are in a weird gray area , florida is just florida and some of these areas are basically the north to me but im going for linguistic patterns and don’t feel like hashing out cultural regions that much)

tbh this poll is currently focused on region and to honestly get the most accurate results i’d need to do several follow-ups breaking down things like ethnicity, gender, class, age, etc. (for example AAVE/AAE and dialects influenced by it are more likely to say yall regardless of region as it can be considered a dialect, ethnolect, or sociolect so is not as regionally determined) but let’s see how this goes first. the research designer in me is suffering bc of how broad this is but i honestly doubt yall would wanna fill out a google form for an internet stranger with no IRB and is really only doing this out of curiosity.

as someone from the “deep south,” even when i mask my accent i still can’t imagine not using y’all regularly. i feel like the word has become more prevalent as it kinda fills a linguistic gap but i want some yummy yummy data. if i missed something or you would like to elaborate on your specific region pls feel free to explain

I have come to admit that my own toxic trait is that i DO hold a quiet disdain for people who think that putting flatpack furniture together is hard. Why is IKEA furniture in particular regarded as some Ultimate Test for Couples - "If you build it without killing each other, he's the one, haha!" ???? Like, listen, I get it, i've got a fuck'd wrist nowadays so I DO find that hammering peg A into slot B is considerably more difficult than it used to be, but the task ITSELF? It's like building lego, y'all. Except that at the end of it, you end up with not just some sort of miniature spaceship (admittedly very cool, if not particularly useful) but a functional and stylish side table. It's the perfect enrichment. I smashed together three Billy bookcases last summer with nothing but a screwdriver, a pencil, and the love in my heart, and I had the time of my life. Do you, too, not feel a thrill in your heart at the satisfying feeling of a cam lock twisting into place? Do not the tiny little crinkly bags of screws remind you of candy wrappers to be torn open and piled gleefully upon the floor, like a child at Halloween emptying your haul onto the living room carpet? Am I the freak, or are you? I am willing to accept the former but i die on this hill regardless

I can’t believe I forgot that I wrote part of a SPN/secret garden crossover

tonight’s hot take is that mary lennox from the secret garden is austic. that’s all.

the 1993 movie is my favorite but I can’t believe they killed the parents with an earthquake. it was cholera, you cowards. they shit themselves to death

but separate from that the contrast between assumed subservience of colonial subjects vs the english servants who are allowed to talk back and thus challenge mary’s biggest “fault” — her selfishness — is really interesting. the colonial mindset has warped her ability to interact with others.

also relevant is the idea that british weather heals all traumas. it literally makes your hair thicker, apparently

tonight’s hot take is that mary lennox from the secret garden is austic. that’s all.
