i exist in two places, here and with you

the american south is the most racially diverse and poorest region of the united states, and any political sentiment that treats the south is stupid or expendable is inherently racist and classist. a lot of y'all are racist and classist. the south is also the heart of american culture. argue with a wall. you cannot deny that everybody in the entire world does not emulate artists from atlanta. there is vested interest in keeping the south poor and uneducated BECAUSE this is the most racially diverse region in this country. if you actually give a fuck about progress, you would fight for the south, not mock us.

also can you look me in the eye and say they wouldn't be popular mean girls,, THEY'RE INTENSE! They mean well, but they have no idea how regular interpersonal connections work except that you have to be the best and that, sometimes, you have to be mean to get what you want. Besides, they'll pull up to school in the prettiest outfits ever (thanks Daisy!). They just fall riiiight into the role
