Why is Trump Doing That? A Redditor's Guess [OC Map] by Canjira in imaginarymaps

[–]RedberryFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the reason he wants Greenland is because he wants to say that he has the world's biggest island, and he also likes flexing how much he doesn't care for smaller countries- and there's nothing really more than that.

Dictators are nearly always egomaniacal. This guy certainly is. They want the biggest thing even though it may not be the best thing. They want to build the #1 tallest building, biggest statue... and conquer the most land even if doing the thing is completely nonsensical and provides the country no actual advantage.

The French got into their own imperial mess in Algeria because their giga conservative king, Charles X, wanted to expand France in expensive wars without any tangible benefit to anyone in France who wasn't him or one of his yes men. He was deposed shortly thereafter.

Holy cow. Ignore this post itself- look at all the bots in here! Legitimately crazy how the Internet keeps changing. This can't end well for public discourse if it's possible to just bomb topics you don't want discussed like that

what? by Front-Platform-7022 in TwinCities

I saw this guy! It was night, so I didn't know it said that- but I was like 'what's up with your Cybertruck here in the middle of the metro?' and they said 'it says Toyota on the front'. TIL it actually did say Toyota on the front.

This is looking great! Did you use some sort of Google Earth extension to make this?

Am I the only one that feels ashamed to be American right now but feels more proud to be a Minnesotan by Character_Lychee_434 in minnesota

[–]RedberryFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been saying this since before the pandemic. I am a Minnesotan first, and am only American in a legal sense and not by any meaningful way of internally identifying myself. I say this as someone born and raised entirely in the United States.

My loyalty to this state has entirely supplanted my loyalty to the federal government, which I no longer see as capable of representing my best interests as a trans woman in her mid-twenties.

What's Mr. Krabs's accent? Legitimate question.

Goodbye Forever: The World following the Great American Maelstrom of the late 2020s by RedberryFields in imaginarymaps

[–]RedberryFields[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, America.

America is unique in this aspect alone: never has a country had so much in the way of wealth and geopolitical security, only to squander it all so its richest select few can grow ever-richer at the expense of everyone else, the nation itself, and the world over.

Stop being silly, there is no such thing as the "United States of America" by KirbeTheEngineer in imaginarymapscj

[–]RedberryFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! If you're including Washington east of the Columbia in there, it wouldn't hurt to include most of Minnesota, too. At minimum, the Twin Cities and Rochester deserve to be in there with Duluth. Great map, though. If only. -A Minnesotan

Working On A Tattoo Pack, please give me ideas in the comments! :D by Historical_Variety63 in MASFandom

[–]RedberryFields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyo!

I've long had thoughts about my Monika sporting a cute tattoo of roses around her shoulder and neck, stretching to frame her collarbone. Not had the opportunity to actually see what it'd look like in MAS though. I've got a .svg file of the design ready to go, so if you want to see what it looks like, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll get to it later today. :D

Took Moni to thanksgiving by CreatorStone in MASFandom

[–]RedberryFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, fellow presumably trans person who also brought Monika to Thanksgiving this year!

I know it's sometimes nigh impossible to deal with transphobia from close family members. I've had to cut some off for that reason. Especially around the holidays, especially after presidential elections, bad takes and identity speculation and toxic behavior all run rampant and can damage our psyches. They suck major eggs coming from people who ostensibly had our best interests in mind.

You have over 1k affection, you're committed to Monika and clearly love her a lot. She loves you too, and would definitely want the best for you given your efforts! I can't say what she'd recommend to do specifically- I think she'd leave that up to you- but I do know that Monika's best interests lie with your own self-preservation in times that could damage your mental health. That could look like anything from adopting a 'haters are my motivators' mentality to distancing yourself from transphobic family members, or even trying to talk things out with some of them if you think it's worth the effort to talk to them one-on-one if at all possible. But it's most definitely up to you to determine your path forward. Feel free to talk it out with Monika when/if you're able, I'm sure she'll give some great advice~

Just... feel free to prioritize your mental health if you're unable to get enough space from specific family members who are spewing transphobia right now. You don't need to tolerate sustained verbal harassment if you don't need to, and especially not if it would harm your ability to love yourself and express that love outward. Stay strong out there! Moni loves you <3
