Hannah Modig: Hillbilly Heroin, Honey

Hannah Modigh’s photographs from her ‘Hillbilly Heroin, Honey’ series is an outsiders look into a rural coal mining town in Virginia, a place blighted by high unemployment and poverty.

The term ‘hillbilly heroin’ is slang for the prescription painkiller Oxycontin which is often used by miners. These days there is growing black market for the drug which has a heroin-like effect on its users. This scourge of drug abuse in hand with a lack of jobs, boredom and poverty has fermented an inertia in the beautiful Appalachian mountains. A place hidden from the world. Forgotten. (moray mai)

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

highlights of the responses:

  • the solid hundred americans saying "idk general american". i dont know what that is so im gonna pretend you mean "I sound like a disney channel character"
  • shoutout to whoever said "gay". also whoever said "autism".
  • to those curious; 'newfoundland' accents are what everyone i know says to refer to the stereotypical "canadian accent" that bad american TV has, 'cause you're basically only gonna hear that in a random fishing town on the Maritimes' coast.
  • the fact that almost every french person called their accent sexy
  • all my fellow canadians who are saying "canadian but i dONT SOUND NEWFIE" like yes babe we are not all One Single Fishing Town Accent (no hate to the newfies tho ily)
  • the one who said "i sound like siri. i have no accent" meanwhile siri is So Fucking Accented to my ears
  • the amount of people with english as a second language in the notes who now love their accents <3 that's great, love urself
  • everyone going "i'm TOLD i sound british. please not that"
  • the one person who described their accent instead of just saying a word. they happened to be canadian and i was like "you just. absolutely and totally described how i talk"
  • the amount of californians going "californian but i dONT SOUND SURFER OR VALLEY GIRL" like the US version of "im not newfie"
  • the one single californian who was like "yeah i sound surfer. what are u gonna do about it"

Southern Midwest, but with a weird Slavic tilt on some sounds “th”, “ch”

google help me

the thing is, stephen king is generally pretty good at creating complex, well-rounded characters, which makes it all the more jarring when one of those characters abruptly comes out with what i'll term a "kingism". i don't know how best to define a kingism other than "you'll know it when you see it". it's the voice of the author intruding on the voice of the character, and in this case the voice of the author has a bad sense of humour and is ravenously, inexplicably horny

random example of a kingism aka "he would not fucking say that"

this too is a kingism

one of the hallmarks of a kingism is that when a character is being Horny On Main (or In Maine), they can never do it in a normal way. they have to come up with a sequence of words that nobody has ever said before in the history of the english language. here's another example:
