Appalachians Against Uranium + the Case of the Ulm 5

Appalachians Against Uranium + the Case of the Ulm 5

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2026/07/26/appalachians-against-uranium-the-ulm-5/

Growing up in West Virginia, you get used to the mountains, but you also get used to the floods. Seeing FEMA trucks rolled into town was always a sign that help was on the way when things got really rough.

​Watching the recent flood recovery down in southern WV, I can’t help but worry about how federal downsizing and administrative delays at FEMA are playing out on the ground. When you trim staff and push the burden back to local towns, it's the folks in the hollers who end up waiting longer for help.

​Thinking about my home state today. WV deserves swift, direct support—not red tape and delays.

Musical Interlude: A new discovery today! I first heard Sarah Siskind this morning, and fell in love with her style and material. She performs traditional Appalachian music with her own modern twists.

"Modern Appalachia," performed by Sarah Siskind.

Big sense of relief when a book is released. GOOSE CREEK HOLLER is available now for preorder. Paperback will be out soon. I struggled over cover design. The attached painting was the original book cover when I began writing the book. It's a cover I made, and that's always hard to give up. The painting plays an important role in the novel's plot. However, unless you've read the book, you wouldn't know that. So, I'll just use it for graphics. In the end, I believe I made the correct choice by choosing an ominous tone, with Sheriff Dillard Buchnell's badge looming over the valley he loves and swore to protect (my pinned book cover). On the surface, he's a Marine, a family man, but who is he really? What is it that people actually know about him?? Hopefully, Dillard is an interesting main character to read about, as his story's twists and turns mirror the meandering GOOSE CREEK that birthed the little valley of GOOSE CREEK HOLLER tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains. https://a.co/d/07dEjyDE

Preservation of fire

http://appalachianmemories.org/2026/07/16/the-skills-we-are-losing-one-generation-at-a-time/

This is one reason I’ve learned butchering, canning and preserving, and a few other techniques. I could manage with the exception of textile work (I can do basic mending and that’s about it). But this loss..it’s real and so much of it is passed from master to apprentice (so to speak), learned through experience. It’s not all about what can be taught in books. I tell my apprentices: find one thing and learn it well. (for me, it’s cooking from scratch, often with pre-modern methods). It’s a good way to honor one’s ancestors and keep this knowledge alive in the world.

Heya fedi-fren! I was talking to an offline friend yesterday about my experience attending a #FolkSchool workshop, and they were very into it but couldn’t afford the class fee… so I also got to tell them about the fact that they have scholarships and work-study programs.

So in case it’s something you’ve been considering, but the cost is a barrier, boom:

Applications close in August, but I think they process them in the order they were submitted. #Appalachia #MakeThings
