New Amsterdam, New York
Obligatory Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
Hey thanks for that. I was expecting They Might Be Giants, I had no idea it was a cover
I’m more of a Byzantium kind of person, but I respect Istanbul’s wishes to be known by whatever it feels like.
Transphobes be like:
Pizza Hut
Im deeply offended that “custard hut” has a logo that’s very clearly not custard.
Constantinople isn’t even the og deadname
Byzantium is a cool name, but I prefer “Nova Roma”
So like, there ARE people who unironically argue that the city is still Constantinople and belongs to the Greeks.
They’re just far more widely recognized as morons while transphobes are more socially accepted.
Funny, Constantinople certainly isn’t the Greek spelling
that’s nobody’s business but the tuuuuurks
Not me sometimes accidentally using historical names for regions because I play too many paradox games
But it’s obviously “Gulf of America”
Well, transphobes and Byzeboos.
