Vaguely Important Statement:
I sometimes put additional "content" in the tags. Currently, I haven't worked out how to display them in theme yet. You used to be able to view them in the post source, but Tumblr has since started filtering tags that didn't seem like actual tags. Sorry for the inconvenience.
 
also if someone happens to have the Tumblr April Fools' hat and the ballpit saved, I'd like a copy, thank you in advance

Mount Rainier

You always know where you are in North America based on the local Native American names, and these all sound like home.

I’m so happy to see a post about all the fucked up names I can pronounce because I’m a Washington local~
