Beneath a quiet West Virginia mound, archaeologists found eleven people laid around one central burial, a pattern so deliberate it still unsettles the imagination.

What makes Criel Mound linger in the mind is not simply its age, but the care buried inside it. Deep beneath the earth, eleven people were found together at the base, arranged around one central burial in a layout that looked intentional, ceremonial, and impossible to dismiss as random.

That arrangement is the detail people remember, because it suggests a community making a statement in earth and ritual. Ten individuals surrounded the central figure, and the finds around that middle burial made excavators believe this person held unusual importance.

Today the mound stands in South Charleston, but long before streets and businesses surrounded it, this was part of a much larger ceremonial landscape in the Kanawha Valley. The mound was once among extensive earthworks that stretched for miles on both sides of the river, evidence that this was not an isolated monument but part of a broader sacred geography.

I missed this. West Virginia piloted Home Rule for local governments to be able to be creative in solving local problems in 2007 and made it permanent in 2019. This is very different from how we do things in Virginia. https://revenue.wv.gov/homerule/Pages/About.aspx #HomeRule #DillonRule #WV

In case I am able to use the good that Indivisible has done (protests) without perpetuating the bad (super PAC funding, noncommittal avoidance of addressing the policies under finance capitalism directly, e.g.) I have started a local chapter in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

If all goes well, we might be able to get funding to host a Decidim instance to support us in recurring citizens assemblies, with our petitions backed by threats of labor strikes.

Important to note, many communities across the country are seeing a surge in ICE+CBP activity.

Notably new ICE tactics being talked about in West Virginia where ICE is working with local and state cops to setup at what look like DUI check points only to harass people about their status.

There's also rumors of ICE using toll booths in WVa to check plates to search for vulnerable people to target quite literally down the road.

Looking for folks in the US who need, want, have formed, or are in solidarity economy networks. ICE agents are assaulting people where I live now.

Ugh huh... now would -any- other organization even the FBI or whatever be allowed to just flood a city with military presence over a crime that should be left to the local cops to solve?

This situations is plainly being used as an excuse for even more illegal National Guard occupation of cities.

Developing story...

I've only had three players since May. If they had a fourth party member, that combat might not have taken two sessions.

It was a total of 10 rounds over two sessions.

Anyway, that is to say, know anyone in Charleston, WV interested in an in-person #Pathfinder1e game?

Is there a #TTRPGRecruitment hashtag? If not, there should be.

Really incredible work here by the #WestVirginia ACLU.

‘The lawyers from ACLU-West Virginia and Mountain State Justice wrote in their own briefthat the framework proposed by the Attorney General’s Office is “so expansive that any statement, made for any reason, automatically qualifies as religious exercise.”’

"Moonrise Over The Gap"

An #autumn #moon rises over a #harvested #field in the #panhandle of #wv The gap referred to is the area between our section of the ancient #BlueRidge #mountains where sits beautiful #HarpersFerry.

Anyone in #CharlestonWV interested in playing #Pathfinder1e in an in-person game?
I'm a GM, I'm recruiting players.

I'm looking for four or five new players to run a short arc of 3-5 sessions so we can find out if our play-styles are compatible.

Previous Pathfinder or tabletop RPG experience is not necessary.

For the curious, my House Rules document is linked in my profile.

This is a shot in the dark, but anybody in Charleston, WV or the vicinity interested in joining a #Pathfinder1e in-person mini-campaign of three to five sessions with a chance that it becomes something longer?

If you see this post months or years from now, just know I'm probably still interested in GMing. 😃 By then I may actually actively have a game running.
