Would Dallas International Airport (DFW) from real life Dallas Texas be a manifestation of the spiral?

hmmm been pondering cities and I think,,, when it comes to Texas’ kids El Paso & San Antonio’s relationship to Houston, Austin, Dallas & Fort Worth is the same as “dad got remarried and had more kids that are way younger and we never lived with” if that makes sense?

so @thisnameisquitequeer and I were talking as we often do, this time concerning how i still owed another drawing in our 2-2 tie and what the subject of it should be

so somewhere between the topics of "what are fun things in Dallas? does Dallas exist outside of the airport? is Dallas just a lame version of Houston?" and "man, how come everyone is always making our state/province into cowboys when people can't even tell the difference between 'i work on a ranch' outfit and 'western bar date night' outfit let alone the other nuances - like is everyone wearing chaps and spurs to the grocery store???? hello???"

where was i

right

somewhere between those two topics, we came up with the fact that Medieval Times exists in Dallas and thus the request of having them hanging out there was born :) we keep finding new ways to make calvin writhe in jealousy!

Still wild to me that despite being in the state of Texas, and originally based in Fort Worth (aka "where the west begins"), the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum (formerly known as the Cowboys of Color Museum) cannot find steady funding or support. Tons of money gets poured into the Stockyards of Fort Worth for tourist trapping, but god forbid the one foundation trying to shed light and focus on providing a fuller picture with inclusion of the lives of Black, Native, Asian, and Latines in the US during the founding of "the American West" get any help. They've had to keep moving locations cause they can't make rent, and they JUST moved again this January to a location in Arlington. It cut cost on rent, but their display space is also now cut.

I hope if you're ever in the DFW, you pay the museum a visit and contribute with your ticket sale. And if you know of anyone who's able to afford it and willing to contribute to their ongoing 100 for $1000 campaign due to relocation and new preservation needs, send them this graphic or this link.
