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.

Two little hearts, one cozy chair, and a whole lot of love. 🐾❤️ Sometimes happiness is simply having your best friend right beside you. The #BabySharks
Hanging out in the #Appalachian Mountains at the @Appalachian Bungalow. Too hot to play outside.

A major setback with making friends with Cali Cat. My son's huge black lab chased Cali Cat out of the yard.
This is her looking at me and the #BabySharks (the young Yorkies) as if we were traitors. I could only stare at her while I held kitty treats in my hand trying to apologize.
It has now been 5 days since we have seen Cali Cat. Dang it.

@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.

Regulators OK Appalachian Power’s $340 million plan for old Glen Lyn coal plant
i’m pretty furious about this. this plant was closed after decades of community pressure due to the harm it was doing to the local environment and how unsafe it was to keep operating. the waste management plan is to simply fuck over a neighborhood down river

No matter where I go in this world, coming back to WV is something wonderful that I struggle to describe completely. Anywhere I am in #WV I feel a sense of comfort I haven't found anywhere else. I just hope every one has a place, a home, that does this for them.
Where do you call home?

"When a Fascist Organization Set Up Shop in Their Town, Residents Fought Back
Michael Edison Hayden’s new book tells the story of an Appalachian town’s fight against an anti-immigrant behemoth.
Appalachian town’s fight against an anti-immigrant behemoth.
By Shane Burley
Michael Edison Hayden’s new book tells the story of an Appalachian town’s fight against an anti-immigrant behemoth.
There is a certain symmetry to what we have experienced over the past decade of collapsing national consensus and far right radicalization. In cities and small towns around the country, people are watching as their friendships break down along lines of political or moral agreement, and as the shadow of white nationalism towers over even the most seemingly idyllic environments.
This is the conflict that researcher and journalist Michael Edison Hayden found when looking at Berkeley Springs, a small and astoundingly beautiful corner of West Virginia nestled along the edge of Appalachia, where the anti-immigrant group VDARE, a popular far right publication founded in 1999 that mixed edgy Republicans like Pat Buchanan and Ann Coulter with explicit white nationalists, decided to purchase a literal castle to use as its home base. What happened next was a clash between residents and some of the most vocal and best-funded white supremacists in the country, and Hayden was pulled directly into that story as he stood with the town’s residents and faced personal and emotional catastrophe along with them.
This story is woven through his new book, *Strange People on the Hill*, a mix of deep reporting and painfully honest memoir that tells the story of people trying to survive alongside the increasing strangeness of the communities where we once felt at home."

#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.
