To Live Here, You Have to Fight How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice, 2017
Launched in 1964, the War on Poverty quickly took aim at the coalfields of southern Appalachia. There, the federal government found unexpected allies among working-class white women devoted to a local tradition of citizen caregiving and seasoned by decades of activism and community service.

Trump said on the Glenn Beck show of Dolly Parton -- "she really liked me." Really? You mean she liked this?

In #Appalachia (and probably all of the Old South), we had traditions when a loved one died. Many no longer follow these traditions or only a few (Bees & Crows & Black):
-open all the windows
-cover the mirrors
-tell the bees
-tell the crows
-stop the clocks
-turn all the photos down
-wear blackThere will be mourning in #Appalachia.

Dolly was so many things but at her heart she was an #Appalachian. When many treated Appalachians as dumb stupid hillbillies, she proved the opposite while still holding on to the traditions of #Appalachia.
She was our spokesperson.
She was ours even though she belonged to the world.This hits hard.
RIP #Dolly #DollyParton

I thought we had a Cali Cat sighting but no. It is her look a like: Fluffy Cat (her tail is seriously fluffy!).
No #CaliCat sighting since my son's Labrador chased her away. But, it has been extremely hot here and barely any of these ferals have been around.

It is a full biscuit morning here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I am babysitting my son's dogs + a bestie's dog + the Yorkies.
A lot of mute time on my Zoom meetings today!

Today the big moving van left the big city for the mountains.
Bittersweet moment to leave a loving home of 20+ years but the #Appalachians were calling me home.
It definitely was the house that built me. Now it is time to get back to my heritage and create new stories. My soul belongs in these mountains.
#Atlanta suburbs are no longer welcoming.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦞🎒 #US #Fish and #Wildlife biologists are testing tiny photo-IDs attached as "backpacks" to #endangered Big Sandy #crayfish in #Appalachia.
Because injecting a #chip would harm the 10 cm (4 in) #crustaceans, researchers superglue a batter-free PIT tag to each #shell and set it with baking soda water. The setup was first tested on a common surrogate species, and the tags letting go are actually a sign the crayfish survived long enough to molt.

People who support coal don't want you thinking about disasters like the 2000 Martin County, KY sludge spill.
306 million gallons of toxic waste, 30x larger than Exxon Valdez, and Massey Energy got fined $5,600 while communities dealt with contaminated water for over a decade.
The investigation got shut down when Bush took office. Extractive industries depend on you not connecting the dots between their profits and your poisoned water. "Sludge" from Appalshop documented the four years after the spill.

@Appalachian I have discovered the #Veggie Gifter. It is our 81 year old #neighbor across the street.
I was in the yard with the Yorkies and she came running across the street with a big bag of fresh #garden #vegetables.
My gosh, I love small town #America.

#Caturday. Apparently the #Appalachian Mountain Bungalow came with four #feral neighborhood #cats.
We are calling this one Cali. She comes just so close and then runs away. But we are making progress. She now allows us to go in our backyard when she is on her throne (fence). The #Yorkies are convinced they can be besties. 🤔
Next week, we are going to bribe her with treats.

Happy International Cat Day! Just received my first bad review on my book GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. Pretty harsh, and while I get where the reviewer is coming from, did he actually read the part about the other Southern delicacies consumed by the Appalachian family of Buchnells? It also starts with a "G". I think not, or he might have given a more favorable review and at least a one paw up. And it's hollar, not holler, Mr. Harrison. Sheesh, reviewers. #cats #cat #bookReview #reviews #review #mastodon #fediverse #books #booksky #bookstodon #book #humor #fun #caturday #saturday #goose #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden #novels #novel #Southern #Appalachia #Appalachian #mysteryThriller #mystery #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #scribesAndMakers #writingCommunity #reading #read #readersofmastodon #readingCommunity #readin2026 #felines #harrison #catskills #words #iamwriting

"America’s Deadliest Industrial Disaster And the Cover-Up That Erased It from History
The men came to West Virginia wanting nothing more than honest work. Instead, they faced a silent killer.
(. . .)
According to Union Carbide’s own records, of the 1,500 men who worked exclusively inside the tunnel during its construction, 1,115 were Black, and almost none were from the local area.
Awaiting them in the tunnel’s path: thousands of feet of solid rock that, when blasted and drilled and chiseled and shoveled, transformed into tiny, glass-like particles that sliced a million little cuts into your lung tissue until slowly, slowly, slowly, over years even, you died.
(. . .)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) notes that respirable crystalline silica, created 'when cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling, and crushing stone [or] rock,' is made up of particles 100 times smaller than a grain of sand, and that anyone who inhales it is at a higher risk of developing a horrific, irreversible, and incurable disease called silicosis. OSHA wasn’t established until 1970, but these facts were well-known by the time the Hawk’s Nest project was underway, and engineers and executives at Union Carbide would have been aware of the risk.
(. . .)
He reconstructed all of it, and it is all chilling, and the most chilling parts of the book are the descriptions of life for the tunnel workers. The discrepancies between the living conditions of Black and white workers are particularly striking: Laborers lived in two-room shanties, with two bunk beds in each room. Black workers slept eight to 12 in a shanty; whites just four. Black shanties had no electricity, while those housing the white workers did.
Never did the company that Union Carbide had formed to oversee the project, the New Kanawha Power Company, measure dust levels in the tunnel, which would have been a common practice even then."

After almost a year from buying a place in the #BlueRidgeMountains, we finally had a #datenight. I promise you that there is nothing like living in a small town and supporting small business owners. 🏡
Living slow, dining local, and drinking something strong (yes, #moonshine) under #Appalachian skies. Around here, the sunsets stop traffic, everybody knows your name, and the stories get better after dark. Small town life may not move fast but it sure knows how to live. I am so fortunate. The sunsets are pretty fabulous too!
Also, how cool is it that I'm standing in the middle of the road to take this picture. 😁
