Never forget - the Oligarchy is not loyal to anyone...regardless of race or creed...

They worked the children of Appalachia to death in their mines and treated us like we were no more than machinery to be used to harvest their coal.

Evan Greer and Tom Morello

Mr. Gentleman wants you all to know that you should buy copies of Sarah Corbin’s Bloody Revenge and American Mystic: The Life, Death, and Rebirth of Jimmy Wonderful.

Buy my books. Get Mr. Gentleman more treats and toys.

Don’t make him send Kiki - Kiki gets too emotional.

I can't stress enough how important having good music is to working on any project. As a writer, I make playlist for almost everything I work on.

Daily reminder that they are still poisoning Appalachian people with tainted drinking water.

Nobody deserves to die of bad water in America. Nobody deserves to watch their family get sick because of bad water.

Some days being an advocate for Appalachia is harder than others. I often find it difficult to regulate my outrage when my people’s struggles are casually dismissed and our experiences invalidated.

Empathy is not judging the suffering of others, but putting yourself in their shoes and helping.

That is so cool!

And yes - I still count “get an autograph from the lady who played Ellie in Last of Us (the game) for the Sprat” as one of my ‘made it goals’.

I missed the first 20 years of the Sprat’s life because I didn’t know about her, and now I can’t imagine my life without her.

These MAGA chumps who try to make life hard for the LGBTQ+ community don’t even know what love is.

I am often surprised by the vast differences in sensibilities that exist beyond the mountains. My mother always taught me that the worst thing any man can ever be is a hypocrite. What you say doesn't matter - its what you do that gives words their strength.

Nobody who ever treats you like you are disposable or your feelings aren't valid actually cares about you.

Starving For Justice: The American Crisis of The Soul Spring has begun to seep its way through the cold and dreary elements of winter here in Appalachia. The sun peeks out from behind the…

Without empathy, stability, and justice - our nation withers and sickens from a starvation of the soul. We must resist. We must learn to live lean and nourish our own hearts, not simply as a matter of survival...

But as an act of defiance.

There's plenty of awesome women to write about in Appalachia's history, and I encourage you to check out the Dispatches and read some of their stories. That said, I'm kicking the month off with this one about my mom.

Share it around if you like it.

She would have got a kick out of that.

Look, I’m just saying that if we get Spiderman and Superman crossovers, we can have a Squirrel Girl/Birds of Prey crossover written by @gailsimone.bsky.social

Squirrels of Prey.

Get on it Marvel/DC/Amalgam!

Innocent people dying so a narcissistic sociopath can look strong isn’t a distraction - it’s an atrocity.

You ever get that feeling the people in your circle don’t want you around?

Poison For Our Ponds and Slurry For Our Sinks I can hear my daughter’s roosters crowing as I settle in behind my keyboard this morning. It’s chilly out there, and on a cool morning like…

Because the Dispatches were calling attention to the issue long before the big shots got in on the game...

I'm not going to be quiet until every man, woman, and child in West Virginia can drink clean safe water!

I don't know, call it a crazy thought, but I believe that the American people need affordable food, shelter, and healthcare much more than we need another war.

Give us bread, not bombs, you rotten bastards!

When The Black Waters Came: The Buffalo Creek Disaster The Day The Black Water Came

In honor of the anniversary of the Buffalo Creek disaster, here's one from the vault. Check it out, share it around today, and spare a moment to remember the people that the oligarchy's greed have taken from us.

Sleepy Coyote Thought: The best thing you can be is ‘there’. Be there for your friends, be there for the people you love, be there for the people this world knocks down. You can’t win the fight if you’re not in the fight.

-You- are good enough.

Shine on.

Poison For Our Ponds and Slurry For Our Sinks I can hear my daughter’s roosters crowing as I settle in behind my keyboard this morning. It’s chilly out there, and on a cool morning like…

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

I know it doesn't always seem like it...but we will get through this...

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.

Broke till Tuesday. If you want to kick in and throw some tips my way - even the smallest amounts go a tremendously long ways to helping.

There’s Something Wrong With Kentucky Senate Bill 72 There is something terribly wrong with Kentucky Senate Bill 72. Of course, at 4 a.m., there appears to be a great deal wrong with America…

The tip jar still remains empty and we're trying to survive till Tuesday. Check out the newest Dispatch, learn what vileness the Kentucky Republicans have concocted now, and maybe leave a few dollars tip.

Much love, Coyote-Fam.

Well, another day that the Dispatches didn’t earn any tips, and while that sucks - I am not discouraged. Going to try to get in bed early so I can wake up and try making another new one.

Coyotes never quit.

Fan of The Dispatches From Appalachia, but don't have the time to read them? Maybe you just need something to listen to while making your morning drive to work?

"The Sensational" @syecole.bsky.social has you covered.

Trying to make at least $100 to make it till Tuesday. If you've enjoyed the two Dispatches this month, and can afford it, consider kicking in a tip to help keep your favorite coyote themed wordslinger going.

As an Appalachian I’d like to throw into this JD Vance thing with the most devastating insult at our disposal…

JD Vance can’t make his own cornbread.
