A Holiday road trip to see Mom.

Highs and Lows from the trip but there's no place like home!

Fun Fact: My uncle used to drive for JB Hunt. He is the one that showed me how to collect #FamilyStories and got me started in #Genealogy by "visiting relations" in #Appalachia.

If you know me, you know that I already turned right. 😁

More on the Pine Mountain Settlement incident, a lot more charitable than I would be, somewhat bordering on "two-sideism." The Waymakers were bullied by local thugs. It is not more complicated than that.

There are parts of #Alabama and #Georgia (the parts folks in #Appalachia ridicule) where family members are banished for refusing to allow other members to borrow their dentures. Expect less from the descendants of #traitors and those who worship at the altar of Sir Donald of House Rottencrotch. #quirkyopinions

Appalachia’s Gentrification - Clash of Locals & Outsiders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6EEi4tBvek&ab_channel=PeterSantenello

There's tension in the mountains of Appalachia, a divide between established locals and wealthier people moving in to buy up land and homes. This tension exists in many parts of the country and is increasing as more people want to live outside the cities. Join me as we meet the locals to get an inside look on this situation.

Join Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Charles Gregoire in a discussion about mountaintop removal mining (MTR), which is most often associated with the extraction of coal in the Appalachian Mountains in the states of Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. #mining #Appalachia #coal

Big debate in our #Appalachia Discord:

Can #soda (or pop or soda pop) be fruity?

I voted YES! There is nothing better than a ice cold #Cheerwine especially while driving the convertible up to the mountains when it's 100° outside (37.8 c)

Did I really buy a 4 wheel truck to go up and down the Mountains searching for hidden family cemeteries?

No. But sure does come in handy!

Fly Fisherman From Appalachia Manages $1.7 Billion For Merrill Clients In New York City

Again, the hidden message is that the brain trust leaves Appalachia. I give him credit for leaving his cell at home when fly fishing. 😉

I have been on Blue Sky for 24 hours and already realizing it is time to leave.

I have never seen so much bashing of Appalachians on social media in my life. Blue Sky seems to be the place of rude, deranged comments regarding my beloved region.

I'm back to my safe space on Mastodon. Whew!

Can't stop thinking about Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver after reading it a few months ago. Today she suggests a reading list to dive more deeply into Appalachian culture and history. (Gifted article, no paywall): https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/09/books/barbara-kingsolver-appalachia-books.html?unlocked_article_code=VyJuJc9l9Qc1hKJYoEVWtFl4yTJYUKTk-8DR_cSBwBnNPV_Zunac5Kx3wWTQJTawt7MHzDZmICVUreR0KL1tAFPgICInm92zOUFHkn9dA8X138jnZCAi9MNcVP4QCU80OsQdhW6h7AFImStUjlFasXpShgdT4a3xoCJhrSLvwjEM2Iqgd0MC6li1l-ItvnhvMjnaR7cW1bt-hKTMnzRd1IWAh2pNE4kUD2AQYwr_l8KC6V8vXWdelwVCU3i3OxWmQvS4MB3fkmFrng_tzqwAEEIdyQKPNDCJbVQh59x6kiwVlZUA0Ej0lnW3nEyOwSxince1WG3GDipegIPkJEOAa-LIPHVfuWgCyoe_&smid=url-share

Stop the Mountain Valley Pipeline w/ Appalachians Against Pipelines

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wuKMytFZSQ&ab_channel=GreenandRedPodcast

The Mountain Valley Pipeline is a 300 mile long fracked gas pipeline cutting across the mountains and waterways of Appalachia. For the past five years, Appalachians Against Pipelines (@stopthemvp) has waged a fierce direct action campaign against it with tree-sits, blockades and civil disobedience.
