@raspberryjellybrains

and that won't change for no one. catch me on ao3 at hotdiggityfrog :)
howdy, partner, welcome to my humble abode.

here are some things to know on your tour:

- my name is Raz, and I like all pronouns, but prefer ze/it/they the most

- I mostly talk in tags because I'm kind of shy! so if you aren't a Tag Enjoyer this is going to be a boring trip for you.

- I post art, meta, occasional writing, and shitposts. high effort things i made, are under the tag 'raspberry tart' while shitposts are under 'raspberry jam' or 'raspberry rambles'.

- reblogs are appreciated but reposts' are not. god knows why you'd want to repost my content, but hey. gonna establish that.

- I am white and was raised christian and try my best to be an ally, but if I say/do/make something offensive, please call me out on it as you are able.

- I swear a lot, so if that's not safe for you, it may not be a good idea to go any father.

- if you're usually on dni lists... you know who you are and what to do. I don't tolerate bigotry or intolerance of any kind, nor pedophilia and incest.

- headcanon, fanfic, and fanart to requests are always open. as well as asks. im lonely :(

- that's all, folks!

enjoy your stay

Btw your curiosity about my body isn’t more important than my own safety, privacy, or dignity. You do not “have to know” why I use a mobility aid. You do not have to touch me or my stuff because you think it “looks cool”. You don’t have to ask me personal questions because you’re “just curious”. I don’t care if you think I look weird or if your kid has never seen someone like me before. I don’t care if you were “just trying to help” or if you “didn’t mean any harm”. My disabilty is not your excuse. I’m not your “get out of jail free” card. If I don’t invite you to touch me or to film me or to ask me questions, then nothing that you can ever come up with is a good enough reason to do those things. Stop prioritizing your curiosity over our privacy and safety.

"maybe it's not your pussy" is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it's like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.

hmmm thinking about dean hiding in his fathers clothes could be paralleled by sam wearing something of marys to feel close to the mother they never knew....

I'm thinking a sweater. its big enough that sam has to cuff the sleeves when hes younger. it's a cream white color and its got some little flowers or something embroidered along the collar. sam doesnt wear it all the time because he doesnt want it to get stained with blood and because it always always makes john angry or sad, but when he goes to stanford he starts wearing it more. it goes back to the bottom of his duffel bag after jess dies because it takes about 100 washes to get it to stop smelling like smoke.

something like this I think

I don't like the music of Boygenius but by god I support women holding electric guitars and making out sloppy style and having their boobs out. I'm the supporter. If you ask me to vote? Well I'm voting in favor. Yes sir. You can knock on my door and ask me do I support the Boy Geniuses kissing and rolling around and I will say I'm the supporter. Thank you women

Like this is so true and good. Yes

Give me a map of the midwest how you imagine it, and don't just use state lines, show me how you think the cultural area of the midwest actually exists in the US

Blue dots: cities that come to mind if I'm trying to name a Midwestern city to explain the Midwest to someone

Green dots: other cities among the 120 most populous cities in the US which feel probably Midwestern to me

Orange shaded region: Midwest core

Purple shaded region: yeah sure probably Midwestern but it kind of depends on context (Food? Demographics? Religion? Politics? Music? Natural environment/climate?)

Black dotted line: approximate "upper Midwest" versus "lower Midwest" boundary

Red line: approximate "the South" boundary- yes I guess I believe the South and the Midwest aren't mutually exclusive

Pink circled region: the Great Plains- a unified region which should be included or excluded from the Midwest as a package deal. I typically include it but I don't feel strongly about whether it would be better to consider it a separate but related region. However, if someone thinks the only thing west of the Midwest is The West, then the Great Plains should be in the Midwest, because they are definitely NOT the West.

I thought about some of the qualities people might think about the Midwest and looked up maps for them. Here they are, with the Midwest indicated by that quality circled. Note I am not making claims about whether any of these qualities are good or bad, they're just things that get associated with midwesternness.

"the Midwest is flat"

"the Midwest is not diverse"

"the Midwest was a hub for the Great Migration"

"the Midwest is union states that were not the original colonies or the far west"

"the Midwest has a significant mainline protestant population" (pink ABCUSA, orange ELCA, and green UMC on this map)

"the Midwest is farmland"

"the Midwest has wet summers and dry winters"

"people in the Midwest are of primarily German, Scandinavian, and Native American ancestry"

There are lots of these kinds of things that aren't occurring to me at the moment. But just for fun let's combine these ones into a map! There's a transparent purple layer for each of the previous maps, and a black outline for places that fall into at least 5 of the 8 regions.

Maybe this is the Midwest? Probably better than my first reblog on instinct alone.

Where's the map of frequency of folks saying "I'm just gonna ope! right on past ya real quick" because I feel like that'll nail this down

I can’t believe so many terfs are reblogging this shit without realizing that terf rhetoric is one of the main reasons gnc women get harassed in bathrooms and treated as male in the first place lmao, the level of self unawareness is astounding

maybe i’m just a commie but i think people shouldn’t be at risk of homelessness if they’re in between jobs

actually y’know what

this post really brought out the most batshit angry takes i’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. truly depressing lives you people lead. when the white hot turmoil inside you consumes you will you even feel it

there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward

its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from "they're literally just standing next to each other" to "deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!" to "yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward." we're all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this
