Here locally there was an anti-Flock, pro-education funding (they just slashed tens of millions from the city schools) progressive coalition of two running for City Council and they finished a strong 1-2 in the primary. A moderate was always gonna finish in the top 3 cause they made up 3 of the 5 candidates but the worst of the two incumbents missed the top 3 and deprived the other of her own coalition going forward. Love to see it.

Today is primary day in Virginia. 6 candidates are competing for 3 Democratic ballot spots for the city council. I have a bad feeling that the incumbent city councilors running will easily capture 2 of those spots despite being complete bums and total conservadems. One is a real estate agent!

Fuck CNN normally, but this article does a good job of documenting some of the really nice features that comes from visiting or especially living in Roanoke, VA which they've named one of the 10 best towns in America to visit. While I don't plan to live here my whole life (I yearn for Nova Scotia as my dream place), I have a deep fondness for the area I've spent about 30 of my 34 years (and the other 4 were just a 30 minutes drive down the road). It is a beautiful little valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains and a neat little city that is the deep blue center of the state's most red region.

Successfully pitched covering the Roanoke City Council primaries for our school newsletter, now I need to just see if I can possibly write them WITHOUT it ballooning to 500 words or more.

Got my Democratic primary ballot (I always vote my mail, as my disabled status allows) for city council.
I voted for one person who is a fellow enby who works for an organization dedicated to reducing drug deaths with Naloxone and needle exchanges and the like and a man who is running on fully funding our public schools (the conservadem city council just issued a 14 million dollar cut) and expanding our public transportation which I utilize a lot.
I voted against both active city council members cause they should all be given the boot universally, and also didn't vote for the banker in the race because obviously.

I've heard stories of the little rock club that my hometown Roanoke, VA used to have where a number of famous punk and new wave bands played and it makes me very jealous. My mom saw The Ramones play there and she didn't even enjoy them!

Here in Roanoke, our signature dish is from a hole in the wall dive eatery downtown called the Texas Tavern (ahaven for drunk and hungover people in our biggest nightlife area).
The burger is a "Cheesy Western", it a cheeseburger with fried egg and mustard with onions and chili as optional. A couple different places have it on the menu other than TT, and it is the only times you will see me purposefully order a burger (my stomach doesn't process beef well).

Hype for the Future 103P: George Washington and Jefferson National Forests
Introduction Though the George Washington and Jefferson parcels are largely physically separate, much of the northern section of the forested area is part of the George Washington National Forest, while much of the southern side is the Jefferson National Forest. While the vast majority of the forested area is split between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the State of West Virginia, the Commonwealth of Kentucky also receives the tail end of the Jefferson National Forest, specifically in Pike […] -

The Monterey Inn is the chief place to stay within the county, which may contain limited cell service as a result of being physically located within the National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ).
