#appalachia — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

Hype for the Future 183P: Bristol, Virginia and Tennessee

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/05/02/hype-for-the-future-183p-bristol-virginia-and-tennessee/

Stopped at the local #chocolate shop last night, about 5 minutes before they closed, to get a gift & the required #pralines. As I was walking out, the manager asked if I liked #strawberries. Sure!

She filled up a bag of chocolate covered strawberries, handed it to me and said to have a great night.

I get home and there were a dozen in the bag! For free!

I think I will retire in this town. Chocolates in #Appalachia. Win win, if you ask me.

Thank you so much Patrick Barb for this gorgeous quote for my August 2026 Appalachian weird horror novella, GODFESTATION. It’s extra meaningful since you know where I’m from.

A little buzzy gnat visiting the #yard #Flower

I think the flower is a Senecio vulgaris, commonly known as Common Groundsel.

My #wildflowers bloomed the first year of #planting. These little #cosmos are the start of my new #wildflower garden to bring back the pollenators for my #vegetable #garden

I can't believe I am admitting this but I traded #biscuits for #crumpets this morning. My #Grandmother would probably clutch her pearls.

Begging forgiveness to all Brits if I am eating the crumpet wrong by adding #preserves / #jam.

What are you doing on this Saturday in June?

#Virginia Creeper. It's beautiful, but, if I touch it, I suffer horribly. It is also chocking a #rose #plant. Time for the vinegar and gloves.

My tree #rose is blooming and I am hoping it will bring the #bees. My garden is full of #pollenators but my #tomatoes and #squash are not #blooming.

My #gardenia just bloomed and is about to explode with #blooms. I am addicted to the scent and always cut a few for my office and studio.

My #dogwood tree is finally in bloom. It has been a family tradition to own Dogwoods. In #Appalachia, I've grown up by the time table of their blooms and #Easter.

Defenders in #Appalachia Against #MountainValleyPipeline Avoided #FelonyCharges

"Initially we were charged with #conspiracy. The real conspiracy is between the #prosecutors and the #judges, between the #cops and the #corporations."

By #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines, #CensoredNews, March 3, 2025

"Last Tuesday, 12 pipeline fighters had court in Giles County for charges resulting from three different actions against the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 2023 and 2024 in and around the #JeffersonNationalForest, including one site where #MVP was drilling through the mountain under the #AppalachianTrail.

"Eleven of the defendants accepted non-cooperating plea deals -- all of them were facing absurd felony charges, including
felony abduction and felony 'unauthorized use of a vehicle.' In the end, they plead to misdemeanor charges and there were NO felony convictions. They were sentenced to community service, probation, and to pay restitution. The court room was PACKED all day long with supporters!"
