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.

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.

Fairies of Northern Appalachia is OUT NOW!
I’m so excited to say that “Fairies of Northern Appalachia: A History of the Little People of the Mountains” is out everywhere now.
The book collects old and new folklore from Pennsylvania, West Virginia, eastern Ohio, Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and western Maryland. It features Pennsylvania Dutch, Scots Irish, Irish, and Cornish traditions, among others.
Here you’ll find stories about banshees, tommyknockers, gnomes, mountain dwarves, household spirits, wassernixen, fairy queens, fairy witches, Appalachian pygmies, and arrow-shooting elves.
The painting on the cover is “The Fairy Favourite” by John Anster Fitzgerald, which I thought perfectly captured the strangeness and diversity of Appalachian fairies. The carving on the back cover is by artist Joan Reed.
You can find it at your local bookstore or at Amazon. The book is also available in a beautiful hardcover (see below).
