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.

Constantinople isn't even the og deadname

Byzantium is a cool name, but I prefer "Nova Roma"

Transphobes be like:

Pizza Hut

Im deeply offended that "custard hut" has a logo that's very clearly not custard.

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

But it's obviously "Gulf of America"

Not me sometimes accidentally using historical names for regions because I play too many paradox games

New Amsterdam, New York

Well, transphobes and Byzeboos.
