Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, PBM's! They are the biggest waste of money in this country and are there only to fuck the average person over on their medications.

Sleepy Coyote Thought: The forces of evil and fascism are starting to crack. Every single day they show us their incompetence, and slowly their grip is weakening. Have hope. -You- are good enough. Shine on.

Haven’t posted in a while, sorry about that. Have a few?

Crazy Idea: Let’s spend some of ICE’s bloated budget on…oh, I don’t know…. Investigating, prosecuting, and capturing wealthy pedophiles who think they can do whatever they want to us poor people?

My kid works as an ER Nurse and she’s having a bad night - so, I told her about the president shitting himself. That was the first time Donald Trump ever made a woman or a gay person happy.

Early morning photos 💜🖤 The city can be so quiet and wonderful in the early hours

My view some days makes it nice to come into the office 💜

Today’s fit check! Yes I did one, cause I’m proud of myself for the first time in a long while. Over the last year, I’ve lost 50lbs thanks to the unblocking of the artery in my neck, my meds, and diet/the little exercise I can do. I’m proud of myself for getting this far finally!!!

Happy Turkey Day!

Downtown in the early morning hours. Lights are on, but no one’s really there.

How I start my morning 🖤

Touched up my purple last night 💜🖤

How did you know I sometimes get bored at work??? Ohhhhhh, wait. I see it now 🤣💀

Trick or treat!🎃🦇💀

Happy Halloween 🎃💀 Trick or treat!!

New ink! I’ve been wanting a Medusa head for years because of its meaning 💜 The Gir was an added bonus - he’s the same Gir that was drawn for me by none other than Rikki Simmons!!

It’s lazy Sunday vibes today. Mostly because the drastic change in weather has me in pain!! 😖💜

So, did you go to Faire or join the “No Kings” protest? Both. I did both 💜

“Wow, like the outfit!” Thanks, I just rolled out of bed and put on the first thing that I could reach 🤣

I got to wear my new hood today! I absolutely love it 🥰

Recent pictures from this past week while on my walks 💜 I’ve taken to walking a few days of the week over my lunch break. It’s been a workout for me, but it’s also been fun 💜

My 3 phases today… 1. Start of Pirate Day at Faire! 2. Going to walk around with friends today! Yeay! 3. FML why did I walk for so long without sitting?!?! I’m gonna die in a corner now. 😖

Sleepy Coyote Thought: When everyone stands up, nobody can make you sit down. -You- are good enough. Shine on.

I made fried rice for dinner. It didn’t suck!!🎉🎉🎉

*cheff kiss*

Also, thanks to our new temp roommate, I got a new tattoo last week! He’s here to say “Meow-dy partners!”

Yesterday was the first day of faire season and it was an absolutely beautiful day!

I want to thank @root-and-ritual.bsky.social again for sending me these beautiful mala beads! They are simply gorgeous and I absolutely love them!

The tale of Sid Hatfield? What about the Monongah Mine disaster? What about when the coal slurry broke the dams and washed away a town? Mother Jones? Ma Blizzard? The origin of music in Appalachia? Every Dispatch is a piece of history. Mine. Yours. All of us. Sit down and read for a spell. ;)

Thanks to a super kind donation - we're now only 95 dollars away from hitting the goal on Sarah Blizzard's Battle! Poverty couldn't stop her. Gun Thugs couldn't stop her. That Ol' Death Train -damned- well couldn't stop her. This is Ma Blizzard's Tale medium.com/@kidether/th...

Did you enjoy the latest Dispatch? Do you want to help keep the Dispatches flowing but maybe you overlooked the link for the tips at the bottom of the Dispatch? You can contribute here. Every little bit helps, just ten people throwing in ten dollars hits our goal. Love y'all - take care.

Just finished a brand new Dispatch From Appalachia (one of the Lost Heroes of Old Appalachia series) covering Sarah "Ma" Blizzard. Check it out and find out about one of the most fearless women to participate in the Mine Wars! #Appalachia #History #Labor #RESIST

Sarah Blizzard fought Gun Thugs, stopped an armored Death Train, and became the Mother of the UMWA. Read her story here. (and leave a tip if you like) #LaborHistory #Appalachia #Solidarity #Resist #ArticlesYouShouldRead #History

The most disheartening thing about this administration is that it has exposed how many Americans are in love with the very concept of cruelty. A desire to deprive others, even when the cost is minimal to themselves, that runs deep. It’s more than just racism or homophobia - it’s a love of all hate

Oh, and just because its sure to piss off some Charlie Kirk fan out there somewhere... Trans History is Appalachian History Black History is Appalachian History Women's History is Appalachian History Gay History is Appalachian History Immigrant History is Appalachian History Rewrite this, jerks.

So, the Sprat just texted me worried that the Supreme Court is going to take away her right to marry her girlfriend...Now I'm good and pissed... When we win back power we must make sure this never happens again. Our children shouldn't be afraid.

Older Dispatch about the Sprat and the attempts to bring Conversion Therapy back to Kentucky (which they did).... Bad enough my Sprat has to live her life in a place where these fuckers think they can 'fix' her...Now they wanna scare her that she can't get married? What a sorry ass bunch.

Fell 50 dollars short of the goal tonight, but there's always tomorrow.

From the Vault (Word Busker life folks). My response to the removal of early warning systems and how the negligence of lawmakers contributes to the demise of good people.

When they take due process away from one people, they can take it away from ALL people. If you believe this is something that can only happen down the line - you're wrong - it's happened before. It's happened here.

Since the GOP are all about repealing child labor laws...I thought I'd include one of my Dispatches about why that's a terrible idea. You want to know the cost of child labor and the future these bastards have planned? Read about what happened in Monongah. #Appalachia medium.com/@kidether/of...

this is everything to me

Shameless Self Promotion of the Day Check out the latest Dispatch From Appalachia where I salute so many of the great creators (and what they do for all of us) that helped get me through a rough childhood. Tip if you can, share if you like, and much love to all y'all! #SelfPromo

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Welp, back in black.

Look, ya'll. I just finished a reading for Coyote Wallace's latest Dispatch, "Heroes for the Hopeless." My flabbers have been gasted. Go read it, give it a clap, tip if you can afford to -- But show it some love. Holy damn, it's beautiful. medium.com/@kidether/he...

The goblin shake!

Sometimes the only thing you can do in a world that's as dark as ours is shine. Help folks, be kind to people, embrace all the glorious differences and lift people up. Small victories grow into large changes.

Alright, this is the final Dispatch of the night, and it is my personal favorite. If you want something to hit you in the feels, this is the Dispatch. Still 90 dollars off from our goal - so, if you can leave a tip and if you can't (but still enjoyed it) a share goes a long way. Enjoy!
