Southerners - Tumblr Posts
Yup. That’s why us southerners always have a drink in hand when we’re talking to people. We’re secretly scared of y’all and don’t know what to do with our faces, so we just have a drink at all times. It’s probably gonna be sweet tea or something too
talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip
Haha, that’s fair, and thanks for the agreement. Curious about what it would look like, though!
Just saw you wanted to be sent things? I've been thinking about how Bitty might fit in great as a gay student, but as a Southerner, might be lonely among folks baffled by his culture or bothered by casual stereotypes. Just blogged longer thoughts than fit here, but tl;dr version: what if Bitty gets defensive of his family / town when people joke about bigoted/dumb Southerners, even when he'd make the same critique himself? if he understands Jack's Québécois background better than they'd expect?
AH! I usually try to add things to what people send me but I have nothing to add to this. I just agree with you hundo p. :)
Edit: this is the referenced blog post too!
yall have got to be more normal about Southern people and I'm not kidding. enough of the Sweet Home Alabama incest jokes, enough of the idea that all Southerners are bigots and rednecks, and enough of the idea that the South has bad food. shut up about "trailer trash" and our accents and our hobbies!
do yall know how fucking nauseating it is to hear people only bring up my state to make jokes about people in poverty and incestuous relationships? how much shame I feel that I wasn't born up north like the Good Queers and Good Leftists with all the Civilised Folk with actual houses instead of small cramped trailers that have paper thin walls that I know won't protect me in a bad enough storm?
do yall know how frustrating it is to be trans in a place that wants to kill you and whenever you bring it up to people they say "well just move out" instead of sympathizing with you or offering help?
do yall understand how alienating it is to see huge masterposts of queer and mental health resources but none of them are in your state because theyre all up north? and nobody seems to want to fix this glaring issue because "they're all hicks anyways"
Southern people deserve better. we deserve to be taken seriously and given a voice in the queer community and the mental health space and leftist talks in general.
Southern Grilled Barbecued Ribs - Pork Here's a fiery two-step from the South! First, bake the ribs in a straightforward marinade. Next, grill quickly and top with a tangy homemade BBQ sauce.
Yeah, all you Yankees can shove your Lipton tea. All us Southerners will be down here sippin' on our sun tea.
Y'all.
this is how americans celebrate 4th of july in london
I'm a Southern girl so I buy the biggest tub of Duke's mayo I can find. It's practically a staple here.
Man. People tell me they won’t judge me, but then I tell them that I buy Miracle Whip by the gallon and suddenly they’re ‘just concerned’
I love this!
A truly MINDBLOWING lesson on the origin of American Southern accents.
I LOVE this.
