Anytime and Anywhere I see someone wearing a #WestVirginia #University shirt (heck, any WV shirt), I walk right up to them, face-to-face and say....

"On March 7-9 of this year, the neo-fascist American Freedom Party (AFP) held what it billed as its “National Convention” at a location that organizers kept secret from the public. Participants later said that it was in West Virginia without specifying where, however they did post photos from the conference online. A close examination of these images reveals that the conference took place at the Berkeley Springs Castle, which is owned by the people who ran the now-defunct white nationalist website VDARE."

TOSHA released a summary of its investigation into Impact Plastics on Wednesday, which concluded with no citations recommended and a declaration that the deaths that occurred were not work-related."

I've been participating in Amy Johnson Crow's #Genealogy #52ancestors #Blog Challenge for 2025.
This week is about #Language. And, my biggest issue with language is explaining that #Appalachians are not poorly educated or lazy due to the way they speak and their #dialect.
Check out the blog & #video for some common sayings.

Dock Boggs would often play in mining camps. This became a dangerous occupation as #mining #camps at that time, were known to be rough and violent especially with #miners drinking #moonshine.
He was rediscovered by Mike Seeger.
Mit #Level 1300 sehe ich vielleicht nicht mehr so gut aus wie am Anfang, aber es geht immer weiter. 2246 Spielstunden in #Fallout76 auf der #XBox.

PS: Das #MAGA und der amerikanische #Patriotismus, das ich im #Game lebe, ist natürlich satirisch gemeint.
