Minnesota is such a fuckin Left Hand of Darkness ass society

yeah we’re passive aggressive. yeah we repress all emotions that could possibly lead to conflict, and subtly warn each other away from those topics with cryptic little hints

if we permitted actual aggressive aggressiveness we’d fucking kill each other while trapped indoors together all winter

we’ve never had a war because shifgrethor. and we have shifgrethor because fuckin negative 40 degrees F

plus we barely have genders, we got more practical things to worry about, and half the year everyone’s too bundled up to tell, anyway

ursula k leguin took one look at planet Vulcan and applied all her anthropological knowledge and was like, ok this is a compelling picture of a society that values rationality and peace and emotional control, but they got the fucking temperature wrong

do minnesotans go into kemmer or pon farr? well if we did we sure wouldn’t talk about it. So who the hell knows
