#cultural backwater

[sohannabarberaesque]

What we'd love to see at a Banana Splits concert, especially in some obviously rural cultural backwater:

So much for Branson, Missouri--during a lull in the concert (perhaps during the second half thereof), one Penelope Pitstop makes a surprise appearance on the stage, catching a mostly "white trash" audience off guard before she can get to her routine (essentially some light-hearted discussion).

I'm lowkey convinced that the majority of people who complain that the LGBTQ+ community is too sexual and too focused on hook up culture, are chronically online people who spend too much time on Grindr and Twitter.

Trying to find a decent place to live within a reasonable commute of Pentagon City and absolutely SCRUTINIZING every aspect of each potential elementary school’s GreatSchools.org profile. It’s really helped me eliminate a lot of areas outright. Like, I’m willing to be open-minded about schools. I never went to any school with a lower rating than 7/10 but given the right mix of not-completely-terrible test scores, improvement over time, and positive parent reviews, I’m entertaining possibly living in areas with schools that have 3/10 ratings.

But like. There are so many schools where the rich white and Asian kids are testing AT LEAST an entire standard deviation BELOW the state average and a modest townhouse is still renting for $4000/month. What the fuck is happening at these schools?? How are they not absolutely slamdunking the stereotypical “set it and forget it” successful student demographics??? Why the fuck does this mediocre townhouse with shitty schools cost $4000/month???? The rental market is out of control!

And don’t get me started on buying, which I’m not going to do. $650,000 minimum for any place that has a garage AND a yard, plus the current 7% interest rate… no thank you.

All these places are so isolated too. Like I walk five minutes away from my current house and there are three playgrounds, two parks, a forest preserve, and I can also go to the pharmacy, get three kinds of takeout, have a meal at the diner, buy groceries, and get my car tuned up. Meanwhile all these townhouses are like “We have SIDEWALKS and we’re NEAR a COUNTRY CLUB!!” because you can’t get anywhere worth going without driving at least 15 minutes to get there.

Anyway I used to think “I’d be happy living anywhere! Home is a mindset and what you make of it! People are basically the same anywhere you go since we’re all so atomized and mobile now!” but the more elementary school reviews and GreatSchools profiles I read and the more obviously-flipped townhouses I see, the more I wonder if I have actually become one of those Chicago people.

"but I hope that if this next wave of the internet can bring one positive thing, it could be a shift away from having super-dominant cultures that everyone else feels obliged to anthropologically explain themselves to as people become more connected with more distant parts of the world."

Cattanooga Cheese Explosion of Pedigreed Bull: So free and easy on the draw

(The usual appy polly loggies)

This may be a headcannon more than anything: Consider the Cattanooga Cats, preparing for a concert in some backwater "opry hall," finding it to be a rather grotty-looking Quonset hut serving the function of a ballroom and dance hall in some one-horse cultural backwater.

[sohannabarberaesque]

Now imagine this, replete with driving controls at both ends, serving on a par with the #2 Half-Dog, Half-Cat, Half-Track of Snagglepuss and Huckleberry Hound from Fender Bender 500 ... or even as a mobile stage for The Banana Splits in especially one-horse towns lacking any decent sort of performance space in the vein of an "opry house" or tavern.

Is it racist of me that i think austrians are ugly? Like besides the fact that i cant stand empty arrogance, which is the hallmark of austrian culture and society... i just dont find the people sexy or even aesthetically attractive. Since moving there 2 ywars ago every time i travel im just like woag everyone is hot. Come back and just... not feeling it. Even people in my international circles are just trying too hard to assimilate into what for me is just a really not appealing aesthetic and mannerism.

Tldr i had a very miserable and un-horny 2 years living in that sunless backwater but now ive moved out and im back in my home country for the summer before i relocate again and theres sunshine and good food and attractive people thank goodness

The world has enabled anti-Arab racism in ways it has enabled nothing else. To be Arab is to be called a terrorist. To be Arab is to be seen as backwards, because your roots lie in backwater third world countries whose cultures have been—time and again—ripped apart by those unwilling to look beyond what they’ve been taught in ignorance. And yet all that pales in comparison to what has befallen Palestinians, who have had to watch their relatives get martyred over and over. As if that’s not enough, it was all recorded for the world to see.

All just for another Arab country to be terrorized by the US. The US and UK had no business bombarding Yemen, but they did. And they actively are. Biden was confident enough in his decision to disclose that on a world screen. And don’t get me started on how it’s all under the guise that they’re specifically targeting “pirates.” Arab blood continues to be shed under these ludicrous narratives, and it’s fucking grotesque.

Enough is enough with the enabling. Ceasefire now.
