Wrote this back in May, but the water crisis is still ongoing in West Virginia. We can't allow the current administration to continue to leave these people without clean drinking water. #WVWater #Appalachia #WaterCrisis

Hey @speakerd.bsky.social, my partner and I were wondering: Would Big D be a fan of the band Sublime? What contemporary bands, if any, would he like from around the HtP time?

[CLANGING POTS AND PANS] NEW DISPATCH FROM APPALACHIA.

Imagine opening your door to see a solid wall of pitch black water rushing towards you. That's what happened to the people of Buffalo Creek when years of neglect by mining companies finally culminated in a disaster that destroyed a whole town.

Armed thugs intimidating citizens and immigrant communities. The National Guard turning its rifles on Americans while in service of the oligarchy. Common people coming together and rising up to resist... This isn't today's headlines, it's Appalachia's past.

“Kids”

Just released another Nightmare Tuesdays reading -- This time for @coyotewallace.bsky.social's upcoming novel, "Sarah Corbin's Bloody Revenge"! This one's frigging awesome. If you're down with some weird western badass femme protag action, you will want to check this one out.

Okay, but hear me out: World of Darkness cross-splat supplement. Just call it "Juggalos", in the vein of things like the old Mafia book, or (shudder) Gypsies. April Fool's style, with fully functional rules.

still losing it at the guy who yells "charlie!!!" in abject despair right after it happens. this man went to see the ronald mcdonald of guns and racism and had to watch him turned into that trick where the hibachi chef sprays an entire bottle of cooking wine across the grill in a perfect arc

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

pfftsnrghxHAHAHAHAHA

I provide no context.

GO. GO NOW.

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...

Aight. Takin' stock. First, negative inventory. Didn't get a Some Idiot Reads recorded last week. Hell, for the last several weeks I've been pushing it to Saturday morning. A miss was bound to happen at some point on pure odds alone. .. .. And.. I think that's actually it for the negative? (1/3)

And another one, specifically one that's a pretty hard read, but a necessary one to have light shown on it.

An excellently-written example of Coyote's Dispatches, for the record.

If you've read any of the Dispatches from Appalachia, you know Coyote's a damn fine writer. If you /haven't/ read any of them, you're doing yourself a huge disservice, and should fix that. In either case, if you can afford it, toss a bit of scratch to his Ko-Fi -- It helps keep the fires burning.

I feel @alfabusa.bsky.social and @speakerd.bsky.social should be made aware that there is at least one Big D plushie that has escaped containment. It was, for reasons I literally cannot comprehend, delivered to a place I haven't lived at in over ten years. I have no idea where it is now.

11/10, would eat at Burger Bitch any fucking day of the week.

One of the perks of the whole 'Wizard Apprentice' thing is I get to read the pre-release version of @satyrosphilbrucato.bsky.social new book, Breaking Devil's Bread, from the good folks at @nightmarepress.bsky.social... This collection of short stories is -fire-. Trust me, you'll want this book.

LAST ONE OF THE NIGHT (Morning?) JD Vance Insult #20 JD Vance's resting expression is a cross between a man struck with a terrible gas pain and a golden retriever looking at a complex math problem.

*yawns* JD Vance Insult #19 The only good thing about JD Vance is all the folk-punk music that'll be written about what a sniveling little fascist he is...

JD Vance Insult #18 You know, for an Appalachian, you sure seem an awful lot like somebody that had a small, but memorable role in American Psycho.

JD Vance Insult #17 Why did you have to ruin Flipper for the rest of us? Why? Jesus fucking Christ, I've got 'Gonzo' in my title and I'm writer...and my search history still isn't that bad!

JD Vance Insult #16 All jokes aside, we're lucky to have JD Vance...I wouldn't want to inflict him on the rest of the world.

JD Vance Insult #15 We may one day wipe the stain of the Trump/Vance regime from our country's honor....but we will never be able to wipe away the stains left on the ottoman in the Lincoln Bedroom.

JD Vance Insult #10 (Then we pause for a brief intermission) Mother Harris Jones would have been -ashamed- of you, Frank Keeney would have loathed you, Aunt Molly Jackson would have spit on you, and John L. Lewis would have run you out of town on a rail. -THAT- is for -my- people.

JD Vance Insult #11 Don't you think the Handmaiden's Tale style beard is a little bit too 'on brand'? That's for all the women's rights you've been doing away with.

JD Vance Insult #12 When JD Vance arrives at the Eyes Wide Shut style orgies of the oligarchy everyone says "Fuck, not that guy again." That's for my daughter who isn't sure she'll get to marry her girlfriend because of folks like you.

JD Vance is on Bluesky? Well, dip me in honey and throw me to the RNC afterparty, ain't this a peach? I won't say JD ain't really an Appalachian, that's not for me to say... But... I'll say he can't make his own cornbread and wouldn't know slate from coal. Bless your heart, Old Son.

JD Vance Insult #9 The closest JD Vance ever got to a coal mine was the time that Trump abruptly stopped in front of him as they walked up a set of stairs. That's for everyone with Black Lung, you prick.

JD Vance Insult #8 Even Rand Paul thinks you're a bad idea. Think about that. Rand fucking Paul. No other joke I make should make you reconsider your life choices more than being a Republican who Rand Paul thinks is a bad idea. He doesn't even believe in helmet laws!

JD Vance Insult #7 Question: Do you think Peter Theil kept the receipt when he bought you, or was it 'yard sale rules'? I have a feelin' he's going to want a refund come 2028.

JD Vance Insult #6 If we all just start feeding ChatGPT copies of JD Vance's writing it'll kill itself and the AI problem is solved..Fuck it, it's worth a try at this point...

JD Vance Insult #5 You're so far from Appalachian that you make Andy Beshear look like Daniel fucking Boone.

JD Vance Insult #4 I'm guessin' of all the things they teach you at Harvard and in the service...How to properly apply your eyeliner wasn't one of them?

JD Vance Insult #3 I reckon a fella who looks up dolphin porn and has been accused throwin' it to the furniture might outta leave folks alone about who they love.

Fuck it, let's see how many JD Vance insults I can come up with...Maybe give some of y'all a laugh. JD Vance Insult #1 - You culturally appropriatin', meely mouthed, Scab lovin', moonshine wastin', Coal Operator Funded, lower than snake belly, FRAUD.

JD Vance Insult #2 We're gonna be here awhile people... You write the way I imagine Bob Dole fucked.
