September 11 is, of course, the date that El Sandifer's annual piece on the 9/11/2011 installment of the newspaper comic Barney Google and Snuffy Smith comes out (and the one for the next year is posted on her Patreon). This year, we get a look at #Appalachia - its geology, its history and the stereotypes of Appalachians that exist.
"America a Prophecy" is indeed, a preposterous critical undertaking. It's also brilliant, each post a banger.

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.

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.

#Wikipedia - Origin of the concept of a #SacrificeZone
"According to the United Nations Human Rights Council [#UNHRC], the term Sacrifice zone emerged in the #ColdWar period when #NuclearTesting, conducted by #colonial powers, such as the #UnitedStates, #France, the #UnitedKingdom, and the #SovietUnion transformed sections of land into #uninhabitable and highly #radioactive areas. Sacrifice zones can be defined as communities that experience dangerous levels of hazardous contamination and waste exposure. Sacrifice zones are linked to #racism, #oppression, #patriarchy, and #colonialism, as they are hubs of #pollution that disproportionately target and harm the physical and mental health of marginalized groups who face overlapping forms of #oppressions.
According to Helen Huntington Smith, the term was first used in the U.S. discussing the long-term effects of #StripMining #coal in the American West in the 1970s. The National Academy of Sciences/National Academy of Engineering Study Committee on the Potential for Rehabilitating Lands Surface Mined for Coal in the Western United States produced a 1973 report that introduced the term, finding:
In each zone the probability of rehabilitating an area depends upon the land use objectives, the characteristics of the site, the technology available, and the skill with which this technology is applied. At the extremes, if surface mined lands are declared national sacrifice areas, all ecological zones have a high probability of being successfully rehabilitated. If, however, complete restoration is the objective, rehabilitation in each zone has no probability of success.
Similarly in 1975, Genevieve Atwood wrote in Scientific American:
Surface mining without #reclamation removes the land forever from #productive use; such land can best be classified as a #NationalSacrifice area. With successful reclamation, however, surface mining can become just one of a series of land uses that merely interrupt a current use and then return the land to an equivalent potential productivity or an even higher one.
Huntington Smith wrote in 1975, "The Panel that issued the cautious and scholarly National Academy of Sciences report unwittingly touched off a verbal bombshell" with the phrase National Sacrifice Area; "The words exploded in the Western press overnight. Seized upon by a people who felt themselves being served up as 'national sacrifices', they became a watchword and a rallying cry." The term sparked public debate, including among #environmentalists and politicians such as future Colorado governor Richard Lamm.
The term continued to be used in the context of strip mining until at least 1999: '#WestVirginia has become an environmental sacrifice zone'."
