Northern Lights tonight, So glad I eventually got to see them outside my house

So this is a pretty common saying in the north of England. It means 'nothing as strange as people' and it's usually an affectionate way of noting that people might be a bit weird/daft/silly sometimes, but everyone is from someone's point of view. But obviously, being queer myself, and also being bereft of good, unique stuff to wear to pride this year, I had to play around with the phrase for myself!

If this is something you want physically printed on a sticker, book or pin badge to keep handy, consider having a look over here - you get something pretty and I get a little profit, too!

And if you're super cool and just want to support more of this kind of thing without getting a tangible reward, I also have a Ko-fi!

Looking for a portrait painter in North England who would be willing to do a large, full-body, realistic portrait (preferably painted live) about the size of your average poster. I'm a 17 year old student so my budget is £350 for the service. Would be willing to talk it out though.

A guide to surviving North England

When asked the best tea brand, the only acceptable answer is Yorkshire Tea.

Do not challenge a seagull. You will lose. Give up your food, it is a sacrifice we must make for survival.

Do not go to Blackpool. The lights are pretty, yes, but it is a Hell Mouth and each new person to enter is another inch that door to Hell opens.

Always say thank you when someone holds a door open for you. A grudge will be held if you forget.

Greggs and Wetherspoons are unknown entities. They are not patisserie, nor restaurant, nor pub.

Twinnings English Breakfast tea tastes watery no matter what you do to it, do not buy.

Manchester is both the best and worst city.

Everyone knows everyone in Lancashire in some way.

Bury is pronounced as it's spelled. Not Berry. No matter what the people who live there try to tell you. If it was said Berry there would be an E in it.

Every single wedding will play Come On, Eileen. You must dance.

just saw a video of some northerner kids messing with some drunk Americans, saying they'd fallen asleep on the bus and needed to get back to Orlando two hours away and that they'd walk 18 hours or whatever, building up this big story.... I'm laughing literally as soon as I heard their tone I was like 'they're fucking with you mate' like I know that exact voice that we use and our weird sense of humour of just straight up fucking lying and going wilder and wilder to see if people believe you or not and staying dead serious for the bit.... everyone in the comments is reacting totally sincerely wondering if they got back or not and I'm just here like MAAAATE they're pulling one over on them, as soon as the camera stopped recording and the Americans left you can bet they were laughing their arses off talking about who told the weirdest lie

Before the north was made part of England we were literally a cultural capital of Northern Europe

Slightly belated but I am so mad about the bake off when they covered parkin.

I tend to watch the episodes a bit late online so this is a few days after, and I'm probably overreacting but I am genuinely pissed off.

I understand that nearly all of them didn't know what parkin is but Dylan and Christiaan's complaints are unreasonable.

People do "even like parkin". It is a part of our culture up north and it's "unappetising batter" is a result of just how left behind the north has often been.

The north of England is comparatively poor and it always has been. Of course a cake made of cheaper oats and byproducts of sugar production to accommodate for this is going to look less appealing, but we did the best with what we had and it honestly tastes great, especially the modern versions including real sugar and some flour.

Honestly to me it seemed like a continuation of the "rough, and uncivilised northerner stereotype" (think how Americans treat Appalachians) of course even our food is backwards and gross.I truely think they would have reacted differently if asked to make something else they are unfamiliar with like a Slovenian poteka cake.

Also here's my attempt.❤️

So yes, Dylan people do like parkin. Sincerely, a northerner.

I know this is probably an overreaction but I just wanted to rant, please don't take this too seriously, no hate intended to anyone.
