Other Appalachias: A Booklist

As requested, the anti-Hillbilly Elegy booklist, plus annotations! When possible I tried to include books that were by Appalachians and got at lesser-known aspects of Appalachian life and identity, especially modern Appalachian life. When creating the original list I was also limited by books that were in the library network I work at, which is a) a public library and b) not actually located in Appalachia. Y’all get some bonus titles that weren’t in my library - hopefully they’ll be in yours.

A note: I have not read every single book on this list! This is the nature of creating booklists as a librarian. I trust the sources I used to find them, but if there’s something on here that you’re like “oh I read this and it sucks actually,” let me know. And if there’s a particular aspect you’d like more books on, also let me know!

General

Appalachian Reckoning: A Region Responds to Hillbilly Elegy (Anthony Harkins and Meredith McCarroll, eds)

What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia by Elizabeth Catte

If you read any two books on this list (especially if you aren’t from Appalachia!) make it these two. The first one is a collection of essays and photographs, the second by a single author, but both are fantastic for the basics of “hey was your entire idea of a huge stretch of the US defined by Deliverance and some NYT op-eds? perhaps it should not be” 

Appalachian Fall: Dispatches from Coal Country on What's Ailing America by Jeff Young

Leans a little more “plight of the white working class” than I absolutely love, but this talks a lot about contemporary workers’ rights and local activism in Appalachia and is a good counter to Vance’s narrative of “everybody sits on their ass all the time.”

Belonging: A Culture of Place by bell hooks

Hey did you know bell hooks was from Kentucky? bell hooks was from Kentucky! As always her writing is deeply insightful about who is allowed to claim a place and what it means to have roots. 

Rx Appalachia: Stories of Treatment and Survival in Rural Kentucky by Lesly-Marie Buer 

The opioid crisis has defined the region (much as alcoholism came to during Prohibition); unlike a lot of writing on the topic, this lets people tell their own stories. 

Race and Sexuality

Another Appalachia: Coming Up Queer and Indian in a Mountain Place by Neema Avashia

Excellent counter to the narrative of Appalachia as unrelentingly white, and also painfully good writing on what happens when the folks you grew up counting on let you down. 

Loving Mountains, Loving Men: Memoirs of a Gay Appalachian by Jeff Mann

This 2005 memoir got a re-release in 2023, and thank god because it makes me cry. Really beautiful writing on what it means to come back to a place and carve out a space for yourself.

Y'all Means All: The Emerging Voices Queering Appalachia (Z. Zane McNeill, ed.) 

Another essay collection! There will be more; I like an essay collection for getting a sense of a subject beyond a single voice. Touches on everything from disability to race to Mothman. 

Deviant Hollers: Queering Appalachian Ecologies for a Sustainable Future, Zane McNeill and Rebecca Scott, eds. 

This wide-ranging collection of essays wasn’t on the original list because it’s pretty hard to come by (academic queer theory is not a bastion of your average public library collection.) Just based on the table of contents I am going to try and get my hands on a copy ASAP. 

Gone Home: Race and Roots through Appalachia by Karida L. Brown

Focuses specifically on Harlan County, Kentucky, drawing on a ton of oral history interviews of Black residents to talk about the Great Migration, Blackness in Appalachia, and identity formation in the region and beyond.

Beginning Again: Stories of Movement and Migration in Appalachia, Katrina M. Powell, ed. 

This just came out in June! In a place so often defined by how many generations of your family have lived there, it’s worth considering who gets removed from that story.  

Their Determination to Remain: A Cherokee Community's Resistance to the Trail of Tears in North Carolina by Lance Greene

The history of Appalachia is pretty obviously incomplete without talking about the policies of Indian Removal. Greene tackles a tangled story of assimilation and cultural survival. 

Even As We Breathe by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle

The only fiction book on this list, but the main goal of the list was to let Appalachia speak for itself. Clapsaddle is a member of the Eastern band of Cherokee; the novel, set in western NC during the 1940s, talks about (in)justice, assimilation, and belonging. 

History, Labor, and Environment

You can’t talk about the history of Appalachia without talking about coal, and you can’t talk about coal without talking about labor, and you also can’t talk about coal without talking about the environment. 

Ramp Hollow: The Ordeal of Appalachia by Steven Stoll 

An economic/environmental overview of Appalachia covering the shift from homesteading to resource extraction. To understand what’s happening economically in 2024 you need to understand what happened economically in 1750-1850, and this gives a general and fairly accessible throughline. 

The Battle of Blair Mountain: The Story of America's Largest Labor Uprising by Robert Shogan

An older book on the most famous event of the West Virginia Mine Wars, but is a very readable narrative that also touches on Blair Mountain’s wider context.  

Written in Blood: Courage and Corruption in the Appalachian War of Extraction, Wess Harris, ed. 

A much more in-depth look at specific aspects of the Mine Wars and labor history, rather than a general overview, but worth reading for its coverage of more recent events (it didn’t end with Blair!)

To Live Here, You Have to Fight: How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice by Jessica Wilkerson

Focusing on the 60s-70s and LBJ’s War on Poverty, a good discussion of historical grassroots organizing.

Digging Our Own Graves: Coal Miners & the Struggle Over Black Lung Disease by Barbara Allen Smith

Seminal text! First published in 1987, with an updated edition released in 2020. 

Soul Full of Coal Dust: A Fight for Breath and Justice in Appalachia by Chris Hamby

After being mad about black lung in the 80s, you can also be mad about black lung today, because it didn’t go anywhere. 

Desperate: An Epic Battle for Clean Water and Justice in Appalachia by Kris Maher

Very “legal thriller focused on one guy,” but extremely readable. A great book to get your liberal mom fired up.  

Mountains Piled upon Mountains: Appalachian Nature Writing in the Anthropocene, Jessica Cory, ed.

This list has been almost entirely nonfiction, so here is some lovely prose about what folks love about the region with both literary nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. It’s got a wide geographic focus to boot. 

Food and Culture

Appalachia on the Table: Representing Mountain Food and People by Erica Adams Locklear

Great deconstruction of how we talk about mountain food and culture (scandal! Sometimes great-grandmas used Bisquick.) Will make you hungry and also question what authenticity means and where your family recipes actually come from. 

Making Our Future: Visionary Folklore and Everyday Culture in Appalachia by Emily Hilliard

West Virginia state folklorist Emily Hilliard talks about pro wrestling, Fallout 76, songwriting, and coal camps. Appalachia in the 21st century. 

(Finally, a shoutout to the various bookstores whose lists I used as jumping-off points, especially Appalachian Mountain Books, City Lights Bookstore, Firestorm Books, and the Museum of the Cherokee People.)

[yrrtyrrtwhenihrrthrrt]

More headcanons about my comic fanchild Gregor Blackheart! (Mostly about the C! Goldenhearts as parents)

I want to draw him again, esp as a kiddo/baby, but drawing kiddos and babies is hard. Their proportions ain't right

- When Gregor was born, Ambrosius literally did not want to allow anyone else (besides sometimes Ballister) to hold him ever. Having his own baby brought up so many feelings of childhood trauma that he went into full protector-mode, and felt panicky if the baby was anywhere but his arms. Ballister had to put his foot down to not allow Ambrosius to co-sleep for safety reasons, their compromise was to have the crib right next to the bed

- Ballister derived immense enjoyment by planning cute kid-friendly science experiments and doing them together, and watching his son get so excited by the baking soda volcanoes and stuff

- Ambrosius likes to hide little toys in the garden while he's gardening, so as a kid Gregor would spend time with him in the garden looking for "buried treasure"

-Gregor loves science but he's not good at math, so he doesn't plan to become a scientist like his dad or auntie Meredith

- Meredith and Nimona have a friendly argument over who named Gregor. "I gave Ballister the idea in the first place" vs "I called Ballister Gregor which made him realize what a good name it was." Ballister always interrupts the arguments with "My partner and I are the ones that named him. I don't see your signatures on the birth certificate."

-Gregor was a colicky baby and would have long crying fits regularly which stressed his parents out a lot. Ballister was low-key very worried because of Ambrosius's tendency to lose control of his actions when he was under extreme emotional duress that he might accidentally shake Gregor. So whenever Gregor was colicky and Ballister noticed Ambrosius start crying or rocking back and forth or stimming, he'd swoop in to take over and send Ambrosius to go lie down. He never told Ambrosius about his concerns for fear he'd interpret it as Ballister calling him a bad parent. He was unaware that Ambrosius was also, and in fact much more terrified of the exact same thing happening

-As a little kid Gregor loved riding around in Ambrosius's wheelchair on his lap, he thought of it as like a fun ride (Ambrosius started using his wheelchair more on long public outings because it was easier for him to carry his baby than when he was using a cane or crutch)

- Ballister read every baby book. Every. Single. One. He did a library's worth of research before his child arrived and all of it flew right out of his brain the second Gregor was placed in his arms.

-Gregor had much lighter features as a baby than when he got older. His eyes went from blue-green to hazel in his first weeks of life, and his hair went from dirty-blond to dark brown when he was a young child (cue Ballister "who's goddamn white baby is that" /j )

-Gregor was also a chonky baby (I hc Ballister was as well) aside from his coloring and his nose, newborn Gregor was the chubby, bald, spitting image of baby Ballister.

That's all I got rn teehee

By: Anonymous

Published: Jan 9, 2024

I’m a school librarian in a major UK city and I wanted to write to you about what is going on inside education at the moment. The final straw for me came when I received an email from the (US) School Library Journal about their trans and NB spotlight with the line “J.K. Rowling’s recent transphobic tirades on social media”. And check out the line-up on the Zoom panel!

Enough is enough.

I will admit that several years ago I was pretty full-on with my alphabet-soup allyship and then I got peaked by Mumsnet when I had my children. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. 

My issue is with how the indoctrination has seeped into books and materials unchecked. Last year I read the book “Nothing Ever Happens Here” written from the POV of a young girl about her father transitioning and it was utterly awful. The ending was the family all happy with two “mums”. It was a Stonewall pamphlet in disguise. Any possibility that the child would be upset by what was happening at home was quickly brushed aside. It turns out that its author, Sarah Hagger-Holt, is a Stonewall employee.

There are so many books like this finding their way into libraries and the library staff do not appear to be questioning the content or even the quality of the writing as long as the books tick the “inclusivity” box. For example, “If I Was Your Girl” is an award-winning story about a trans girl who gets surgery and hormones and “passes” in her new school. It’s written by Meredith Russo, a trans-identified male, who has a history of sexual and emotional abuse, but no matter! It reads like a TRA wet dream: the pretty young teen smoothly transitions and gets the life she wants, which includes getting a gorgeous, straight boyfriend. A young person reading this may not realise that this is simply wish-fulfillment wrapped up in Young Adult (YA) fiction and nothing in it is remotely feasible.

Recently I was being nosy on a secondary school’s website and discovered their library’s LGBT section was made up of “Some Girls Bind”, “Being Jazz”, and “The Trans Teen Survival Guide”. That was it. Nothing else for the LGB kids. “The Trans Teen Guide” explains to young people how easy it is to legally change your name, and signposts websites where you can buy binders. Mermaids are listed as a place to find support, of course. 

Meanwhile, JKR is Satan for standing up for women and girls. It is painful reading discussion board threads written by librarians questioning what they should do about the “problematic author.” Facebook groups are particularly interesting as I’ve witnessed the group moderators remove the comments that support JKR because they were repeatedly reported by other members of the group. Some say they won’t buy her books, or they will remove them from circulation or stock them but not promote them.

No more Harry Potter events, no more displays of her work. It’s not all librarians, but there are plenty of vocal ones who have bought into the idea that JKR is literally murdering trans kids with her words. Last year I unsubscribed from a favourite Young Adult podcast for their segment on what to promote as an alternative to Harry Potter. It’s madness. 

I think the thing I really object to in libraries overall is the lack of questioning going on. I know you have covered the Drag Story Time in public libraries, but I’m really shocked by the lack of research and critical thinking from information professionals who are supposed to be champions of these skills. I’m sure that many of them believe they are doing the right thing. I know I did. 

The School Library Association made Juno Dawson one of their Patrons at the end of 2020. I met Dawson many years years ago at a library event and I really appreciated hearing an honest and frankly, painful story of a young gay boy being bullied and how much of a lifeline the school library was. Dawson struck me as a very kind and deeply sad person at that point. School libraries are a safe space for the vulnerable, and it’s no coincidence that often you will find the LGBT students seek it as a place of sanctuary. We do need someone popular and well-known to speak up for us as patron. Let’s be honest though; Dawson has made a tremendous career from being trans. From speaking to packed-out auditoriums of young readers to writing non-fiction books educating us as “she knows everything about gender because she’s been both.” A few years ago, over 300 copies of Dawson’s book “What’s the T” were bought and donated to schools by well-meaning people on Twitter. So heart-warming and kind. Nobody seems to be questioning this. 

I’ve been a huge supporter of my LGBT students for the whole of my twenty-plus year career. It hurts to see these brilliant young girls telling me they’re non-binary or trans. The vast majority of our female students in this ever-growing group are on the autistic spectrum or have mental health issues. I don’t understand why this isn’t being questioned more vocally. I’m worried that I’ve made this much, much worse by promoting this propaganda dressed up as YA fiction for years. LGBT History Month? Here, have this book telling you being a lesbian is bad and you’re probably trans. 

I’m scared that at some point the trans ideology train is going to come for the “forbidden” books in my library.  Will my Head tell me I need to remove all the Harry Potter books? What about the non-fiction books that tell these girls the biological truth about periods and puberty? Cancel culture is coming for school librarians in the UK; how long before we become like the US school system where books are regularly banned for being offensive to individual, captured parents?

Librarians were struggling to keep our jobs before Covid-19 and now it is even harder. We are being made redundant to save money. Lots of school libraries were closed and became temporary classrooms, COVID testing centres, or spill-over staff rooms in 2020. Some of us haven’t recovered. Are librarians really going to poke their heads above the parapet if it means they might be marked as “transphobic” and made unable to get a job in a school again? Or maybe have to move sectors and end up working at university libraries which are even more indoctrinated?

For the moment I’m concentrating on trying to undo some of the damage I’ve done. Last year I purchased a pile of Young Adult books featuring happy, gender non-conforming girls. I’ve researched YA love stories about positive LGB relationships. I want our girls to realise they are perfect just the way they are. 

To parents I would say, try to talk to your children about what they are reading. Honest, open communication is key. 

Please remember that there are people in schools who are trying to make a difference. We just can’t say it openly.

(Author’s name has been witheld on her request. If you have a story on how gender ideology is affecting your place of work, please write to thewhistleblowermailbox@gmail.com)

Reminder, Juno Dawson is the same self-hating gay man who said:

"There are a lot of gay men out there who are gay men as a consolation prize because they couldn't be women. That was certainly true of me."

He has no business giving any advice to anyone, least of all gay kids.

[librarycards]

In the spirit of my beloved URL, I wanted to share this resource from the Brooklyn Public Library. Through their Books Unbanned program, young people ages 13-21 can send them a quick email for free access to an e-card. Info is at the link above.

They provide a service for recommendations if you're not sure what you want to read. Longtime followers know I love providing book recs, so here are some books to check out if you're just now getting your Brooklyn Public Library card.

Art Spiegelman, Maus

Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

Toni Morrison, Beloved

Malinda Lo, Ash

Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Mariko & Jillian Tamaki, This One Summer

Cherie Demaline, The Marrow Thieves

Alison Bechdel, Fun Home

Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism.

Aiden Thomas, Cemetery Boys

Leah Johnson, You Should See Me in a Crown

Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis

Meredith Talusan, Fairest.

This is just a tiny sampling of the books available to you, drawn from BPL's banned/challenged book lists. But the cool thing about a library card is that it affords you a limitless array of books and other media, objects, and space to learn, grow, and resist the christofascist scourge of censorship.

In Defense of Chicanery Update

Hello my lovely mutuals and readers!

I know this is on short notice, but I feel it is necessary for me to do so without warning (for legal reasons that may become relevant somewhere down the road). I will be removing my fic IDOC from all published locations (here on tumblr and AO3). I’ll only be privating the locations, so they will still exist but won’t be able to be seen by the public. I’m doing this because I’ve been toying with the idea of rewriting IDOC as an original novel for many months now, and I’ve decided that I’m going to do it. This fic has been my life and soul for several years, and I always come back to it when I think about what I want my first published book to be.

All additional works related to the fic will remain up, such as any writing challenges I’ve done and the alternate POV I wrote from Perry’s point of view, EXCEPT for the 1 epilogue I have published with Meredith Chatham and Nicholas Rich (that particular piece is too canon-relevant for me to leave up). The rest of these works may have to come down at some point, but until I am advised otherwise, those will remain as they are.

Thank you so so SO much for all the love and support shown to this fic over the last few years. It is thanks to all of you that have read Verity’s story that I have the confidence to try this.

I love you all so much and I can’t wait to see Verity’s story on a library bookshelf someday. 💕

(If you have any questions - or anything else to say - please shoot me an ask or a DM, I’d be happy to answer.)

~~~~~

(Note: If I eventually end up abandoning the idea, IDOC will go back up exactly as it is in its current state, both on tumblr and AO3. This is kind of the last possible outcome for me, but if it comes to pass, IDOC will not disappear from the web forever.)

ANOTHER PUBLIC LIBRARY SCORE. The THEATER OF BLOOD BluRay has a much better picture quality, than another version that I have seen. It needed a reissue. This is a favorite Vincent Price film. Diana Rigg is the co-star, I love her work. This was also one of Vincent Price's favorite films. A Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition. There are many familiar British character actors, in the film.

It was filmed in England, and Vincent Price and Coral Browne first met on the set and later married, Diana Rigg introduced them. Vincent Price made many films, in the UK.

Theatre of Blood (known in the U.S. as Theater of Blood) is a 1973 British horror comedy film directed by Douglas Hickox, and starring Vincent Price as vengeful actor Edward Lionheart and Diana Rigg as his daughter Edwina. The cast:

Vincent Price ... Edward Lionheart

Diana Rigg ... Edwina Lionheart

Ian Hendry ... Peregrine Devlin

Harry Andrews ... Trevor Dickman

Robert Coote ... Oliver Larding

Michael Hordern ... George Maxwell

Robert Morley ... Meredith Merridew

Coral Browne ... Chloe Moon

Jack Hawkins ... Solomon Psaltery

Arthur Lowe ... Horace Sprout

Dennis Price ... Hector Snipe

Milo O'Shea ... Inspector Boot

Eric Sykes ... Sgt. Dogge

Diana Dors ... Maisie Psaltery

The Manitou

Graham Masterton’s novel THE MANITOU was hardly great writing, but it had two things going for it: a grimy feel for its New York setting and an attempt to link its plot to Manhattan’s theft from Native peoples (so I guess you won’t find it any Florida public school libraries). Those are both missing from William Girdler’s 1978 film version (streaming on Shudder), which moves the action to San Francisco, where the action keeps stopping for picturesque views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The plot, in which a shaman’s spirit is reborn from a growth on Susan Strasberg’s neck, is defanged because the shaman is now from a tribe that had died out long before white settlers reached the area (so you could show the film in Florida public schools). As a result, he’s just “the other,” a hideous non-white played by little people Felix Silla and Joe Gieb, thereby rendering the film both racist and ableist. It’s clearly just an attempt to work a variation on THE EXORCIST (1973) with effects that can’t approach those of the earlier film. As a fake mentalist who used to date Strasberg, Tony Curtis tries to make the thing work. His early scenes in sessions with older women clients (first Jeanette Nolan and then Lurene Tuttle) have a nice comic rhythm. And even in his later years, he moves with an athlete’s grace. But he can’t conquer the film’s overall tackiness. By the time the shaman emerges from Strasberg’s neck and starts wreaking havoc on a hospital, it’s all just too silly. Curtis and Michael Ansara, as a shaman brought in to fight the evil spirit, have to act scared while wandering through sets that wouldn’t fly in an early video game. When naked Susan Strasberg rises from the seeming dead to join the fray as poorly matted fireballs and lightning bolts fly about, all you can do is laugh. The cast is filled with recognizable names, including Stella Stevens as a medium, Ann Sothern (still beautiful in her sixties and acting up a storm), in one scene as Strasberg’s rich aunt, Paul Mantee as a doctor and Burgess Meredith in a scene-stealing bit as an absent-minded anthropologist.

Map of the Province of Pimdan of the ICSR, Present-day

Article Written: 15 May 1451

Situated in the North-Central region of the Province of Pimdan and North-Northwest of the Provincial Capital, the community of Lake Paron boasts a unique history.

Early Days

The Lake and its skymountain, Meredith, was a site consecrated by the local indigenous population until about the 1050s, when they were driven out while the land was re-settled by Great Northern forces under the command of General William Paron. Over the course of 200 years, various villages sprung up around the Lake and were dedicated to either mining, fishing, or logging. In the 1150s, Great Northerners constructed airships that enabled the settlement of Meredith, upon which was established the town of Hywater in 1164. In 1167, villages on the East side of the Lake gathered and established the town of Eastbay while those in the Southwest established the town of Paron in 1169. Between 1171 and 1172, engineers constructed a man-made island of piers and docks in the middle of the Lake; and upon this isle was established Laketown in 1173.

And so the economy between the communities thrived under Great Northern leadership until 1231, when, as part of a territorial agreement signed in Cotts, the Great North withdrew its jurisdiction from Pimdan, leaving it unclaimed. The logging, fishing, and mining companies that had emerged in the Lake Paron region were left to function independently; and soon, in the absence of government regulation, these employers began raising prices and keeping wages depressed. That had been an issue during the days of the Great North, but now it began to worsen.

The Early Republic

In the late 1240s, the Federal Estates of Retun extended its influence to incorporate Pimdan as a territory and eventually a Province by January of 1249. In 1250, workers began forming collective-bargaining organizations with their business owners, who refused to compromise toward agreeable terms during contract negotiations. Calls were made to then-Prime-Minister James Black and the Federal Estates Council to pass legislation to increase starting wages and to improve working conditions, but this was met with stiff resistance from Council members who held business asset growth as a higher priority. Tension broke in March 1251 when all the workers across the Lake Paron region united and carried out a general strike. James Black responded to this by sending in federal marshal troops which conducted mass arrests. The strike ended by that summer as most of the workers there in the beginning of the year were replaced by new workers imported from other regions in the new Republic. However, these workers, whose promises for better pay and working conditions were not met, united and, again, carried out a general strike in November of 1251. Again, federal marshals were called in to quell the uprising, and this time, employers attempted to stave off future collective sentiment by implementing a rigorous schedule of "cross-assignment," in which laborers would be re-assigned to a new worksite with a new schedule once every three to six weeks.

However, collective sentiment remained in the region and had taken a permanent root, as outspoken figures formed the Labor Party of Lake Paron, and began running for public offices. In the 1252 local elections, these candidates won public seats in a widespread victory, capturing the mayoral seat and the majority of city council each of all four towns. And in 1253, all four communities signed a conjoined agreement, known as the Joint Agreement of 1253, to standardize prices, starting wages, and working conditions. Meanwhile, the Labor Party of Lake Paron gained momentum throughout the Province of Pimdan, and then throughout the entire Republic. In 1254, they officially renamed themselves the National Labor Party.

And so the economy thrived in the Lake Paron region over the two decades that followed, with the community gaining a national reputation for exceptional worker pay, working conditions, and living standards. In 1262, the Bank of Hywater was established to lend money and capital to up-and-coming businesses, with such lending practices being regulated by the 1253 Joint Agreement in order to preserve economic stability. Over the course of the 1260s, numerous Lake Paron businesses signed agreements with trading partners in the city of North Kempton, Nintel, which had a demand for building material made of the clay extracted from the bottom of the Lake. This arrangement created a steady income for the Lake Paron region.

However, between 1273 and 1274, the economy of North Kempton, Nintel collapsed, leading to a sudden loss in revenue and business for the Lake Paron region. Lake Paron businesses suddenly found themselves in financial distress and turned to the Bank of Hywater for emergency credit. Before long, the Bank of Hywater, with its funds drying up, suspended its credit lines, forcing Lake Paron businesses to turn elsewhere for emergency funding. After being rejected by Bucksworth and the Big Banks in Hasphitat, these businesses turned to the Linbraean Royal Treasury, who promised to lend even larger sums of money on a monthly basis over the next ten years. A joint arrangement of this was signed by the Royal Treasury and a large group of Lake Paron businesses in 1275.

Between 1275 and 1276, it became apparent that the businesses and Royal Treasury noticed a loophole in the 1253 Joint Agreement which allowed the money lent to not be passed down to employee wages in a fair and proportional fashion. This drew contempt from employees who called on their mayors and council members to pass legislation regulating such lend-outs. However, the Linbraean Royal Treasury anticipated this and lobbied Labor Party politicians to vote against such regulations, with the promise that the Treasury would help fund Labor Party campaign platforms in the future, as the Labor Party establishment had been struggling nationwide since the 1260 elections. Incumbent mayors and council members caved to such lobbying and voted down the regulations. And in the years that followed, emerging Diplomatic Party candidates called them out on this. In the 1279 council seat elections, the Diplomatic Party captured the majority of councils in Hywater and Eastbay, while reducing the Labor Party to razor-thin majorities in Paron and Laketown. In addition to this issue, the Diplomatic Party, in 1282, ran a smear campaign against Labor Party leaders and union leaders with regard to the ongoing academy strikes. As a result, the Diplomatic Party captured the mayor seats and majority of council in all four communities.

Starting in 1283, the new Diplomatic Party in power repealed the Joint Agreement of 1253, which repealed wage requirements, working condition regulations, price regulations, borrowing and lending regulations, and a rule previously put in place that prohibited publicly-owned estates from voting and selling their assets to private banks, among numerous other protections.

Despite the ensuing inflation and the worsening working and living conditions, the Diplomatic Party held the Lake Paron voter base in its sway with its "competition-and-reward" dogma, the idea that success came not only from hard work, but also from being the best in one's craft, and that societies that do not follow this dogma are doomed to fail. This led the Lake Paron region population to vote against John "Red" Waltmann in the 1296 and 1302 elections in favor of the Diplomatic Party. However, loyalty to the Diplomatic Party was suddenly broken in 1308, when the population turned against the Diplomatic Party Prime Minister candidate, Walter Scott Mason, who had been preaching ultra-nationalism and hatred against the darkfire community. Although they, themselves, were not supportive of the darkfire community at the time, Lake Paron voters viewed Mason's agenda as fascist and morally corrupt; so they and the majority of the province of Pimdan voted for the Libertarian Party candidate, Carl Rens.

Rens and Mason, however, lost to Waltmann, who won re-election for a third term. Waltmann's victory bolstered the momentum of a proposition, first made public in 1303, for the province of Pimdan to secede from the Republic; and the Lake Paron community was in full support. Pimdan followed through with this move in 1309, in the wake of the 1309 Revolution in the Basin District, but then voted to be annexed by the Great North. This was the result of an amendment proposed by numerous provincial legislators on behalf of lobbying from the Linbraean Royal Treasury.

The Great North

Life seemed to improve in the Lake Paron region under the Great North, as the Linbraean Regiondom ruled with a libertarian dogma. However, it soon became apparent that the Linbraean Royal Treasury had too much of an overreach over every aspect of Lake Paron life. Businesses and local councils began running large debts from the Treasury. Furthermore, no effort was made to improve workers wages and living conditions as promised before; and the Treasury had ownership over the estates and had intricate rules governing rent and evictions. Many of these workers turned to support from Finzi in the Republic, now the Commonwealth. While the Royal Treasury spread propaganda attempting to demonize them, many workers united and, in February 1321, staged another general strike.

The Linbraean Regiondom sent military forces attempting to break the strike. This was countered, however, by Peacekeepers sent by Finzi, who was, at this point, obligated to protect them. Armed confrontation arose between the Peacekeepers and the Linbraean troops, sparking the day-long Battle of Lake Paron on 15 February 1321, which resulted in 150 dead in 600 injured. This Battle resulted in the Peacekeepers and their allies succeeding in driving out the Linbraeans. That May, the Province of Pimdan, after a successful motion to secede from the Great North, rejoined the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth: Early 1300s

Afterward, division ensued. Incumbent mayors and council members joined the ranks of the National Establishment Party, a conservative bloc relative to Commonwealth politics, and ran re-election platforms based upon the notion that Finzi's principles went against free market principles and granted too much favor to the darkfire community. The voting base was split nearly evenly in each town, and all of them yielded NEP majorities and mayorships in the 1324 elections, both of which having been captivated by razor-thin margins. Nevertheless, Finzi's laws governing pay, living, and workplace standards improved life in Lake Paron for the first time since 1282. The area was spared mostly from the Knights of the Common Good insurrections and Neurovirus pandemic of 1329. However, Realist Party candidates, promising good compromises between the principles of Finzi and the NEP, captured the local government seats in the 1330 elections, and would hold onto them until 1342.

It was the Hywater Bank Scandal of 1340, which involved the stagmarcation of trade stones, which finally began to undermine support for the Realists and their allied parties. The 1342 mayoral and city council elections saw all four council majorities and mayorships be handed over to the RAD Party. In the 1344 Prime Minister elections, the Lake Paron community supported Raol Robinson of the RAD Party, in contrast to the rest of Pimdan, who supported John DeMajj of the National Establishment Party.

During this time period, the Lake Paron region established yet another Joint Agreement, known as the Joint Agreement of 1343. This restored most of the policies and regulations of the one from 1253. The only exception here was that wage standards were adjusted for inflation, and that the other regulations were adjusted for conformity with Commonwealth law.

The Commonwealth: Late 1300s

The Lake Paron community continued to thrive just as it did during the first Joint Agreement. However, in 1359, the Esurchians arrived and began infiltrating businesses, estates, and local governments. The people of the Lake Paron region banded together and pushed out the Esurchians in early 1360. However, the Esurchian infiltration broke their trust in the RAD Party. That same year, they formed the Local Coalition of Lake Paron, who elected write-in candidates who defeated RAD Party incumbents in the 1360 mayoral elections.

In the 1370s, the clay deposits ran dry. Furthermore, in 1375, then-Prime-Minister Megan Wen enacted environmental protection policies which put a stop to commercial fishing and logging. And so during the 1380s, the Lake Paron region turned to scriptfire science, tourism, and gyroplane manufacturing.

In 1396, voters in the Lake Paron region gravitated toward the newly-formed Reformed RAD Party, a conservative bloc dedicated to the revitalization of the Commonwealth economy through dymensionalism, which had begun to take root in the region since the 1380s. Reformed RAD Party candidates took mayoral seats and council majorities in the 1396 elections and held these until 1426. During this time, they established Library of Circlaria branches in all four towns.

The Commonwealth: 1400 to Present

From 1400 to 1426, the Lake Paron economy was largely dominated by the scriptfire industry and Library of Circlaria, as the region drew in experts and scholars from all over the province and all over the nation. In the 1420s a generation emerged of workers and scholars who believed in equal opportunities for those wishing to live and work in the region, regardless of interest. The issue at the time was that there was an unequal distribution of resources for different career vocations. For example, Library of Circlaria and scriptfire had more capital and educational opportunities than other vocations. In 1424, the Commonwealth experienced the beginnings of the Solidarity Movement, which would ultimately propel Mary Ann Heits to winning the Commonwealth Prime Minister nomination in the 1428 national elections. And the youth of Lake Paron joined the Movement by putting forward candidates of the Proculturalist Party, which secured mayorships and council majorities in the 1426 Lake Paron elections. In 1433, the Proculturalist Party would merge with the Trader Party to bring back the RAD Party, and the new incumbents of Lake Paron would follow through.

Upon taking office in 1427, the new incumbents passed and enacted an amendment to the 1353 Joint Agreement to establish an institution to provide equal funding to the numerous industries and vocations in the area, very similar to the OPEN Forum that would be re-established in the Commonwealth in 1429. This is the economic model that exists in the Lake Paron region to this day.

PHOTO RESEARCHER

A Photo Researcher is not a common career. In fact, I was unable to find a listing under the Occupational Outlook Handbook to get a job description and other details like was able to for the Private Investigator. I was, however, able to find a Linkedin blog post by an actual Photo Researcher, Nicole Demella. Other titles are Picture Researcher, Media Researcher, and Visual Researcher, all of which are not found in the Occupational Outlook Handbook either. (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-does-photo-researcher-do-exactly-nicole-dimella/)

According to Nicole, is a "professional who is asked to locate and/or obtain permission to use relevant images for a piece of media." Her job scope consists of researching illustrations, artwork, video footage, or mixed media or locating and licensing images for books, magazines, TV, advertisements, and more. A successful photo researcher can locate and obtain permission for the use of images for as low a cost as possible.

I found a job posting by Dotash Meredith, America's largest digital and print publisher based in New York, and this is how they describe the job function for the Photo Researcher (for PEOPLE magazine) they are looking for (https://meredith.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/EXT/job/New-York--NY-225-Liberty/Photo-Researcher_JR11192):

75% Photo research for weekly PEOPLE print magazines

15% Photo research and tooling of images for PEOPLE website

5% Invoicing and billing for images used in their stories they research

5% Digital asset management and coordination

Must have a bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent training/experience and 1-2 years of related experience. The pay rate is between $22-$28 per hour.

Some of the specific knowledge and skills they are looking for are general knowledge of stock photos and paparazzi agencies, fluent in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Bridge, interest and knowledge of celebrities, and bonus if they are Royals and must be a strong visual aesthetic and conceptual thinker.

DATABASES

A photo researcher has a vast amount of resources to use to locate images. Just a simple Google image search could pull up hundreds of images that need to be found. However, trying to obtain licensing and permission would take more effort as the photo researcher must contact the owner and negotiate the right to use the image.

ARTSTOR (similar to JSTOR) I found we have access to via UMA (https://library-artstor-org.wv-o-ursus-proxy05.ursus.maine.edu/#/). You access art and multimedia from the Artstor digital library, institutional collections, and public collections. All images contain the owner's information. They have about 300 collections containing over two million images. Artstor supports all study disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, and modern history. I would be a great resource for a photo researcher who is hired by a book author or publisher writing a non-fiction book and needs images to include in the print, but probably will not be helpful to the photo researcher who will be hired by PEOPLE magazine. It is important to know that ARTSTOR will be moving to JSTOR as of 08/01/2024.

THE GETTY RESEARCH INSITITUTE (https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/photo/guide.html) has a database containing a photo archive with two million photographs of photographic reproduction of Western art, architecture, and decorative arts. You can also find notable works and collections and major collections in topics such as architecture and design, video and performance, and emblem collections.

WORLD PRESS PHOTO (https://www.worldpressphoto.org/) promotes freedom of expression and freedom of the press and showcases a database filled with photography submitted by individuals that relate to the most pressing issues facing the world. They even have a photo contest (https://www.worldpressphoto.org/collection/photocontest/2023/winners) and flagship exhibitions.

SHUTTERSTOCK is a database with a VAST amount of photo topics you are looking for. Most of their images have a cost, but they also feature royalty-free images that you can download for free and it provides information about the photographer. Shutterstock seems to be an image database where photographers/contributors submit their work for payment and Shutterstock receives the rights to sell their images. In terms of photo researchers, they would work directly with Shutterstock to get licensing and permission for the images.

REAL-LIFE PHOTO RESEARCHERS

Besides Nicole Demella which I mentioned in the beginning finding her Linkedin Blog, I have a hard time finding other actual photo researchers. I decided to look back in Linkedin to find other photo researchers and unfortunately, I was able to get a list but did not have access to their profiles.

Here's a YouTube short of supposedly a photo researcher. There's really no background and context of this person so I am not sure where she works and exactly her scope of work.

[sirprincess192]

Her knuckles became white as she gripped the handle of the train. Her short, dusty brown hair flew behind her as if it was tugged on by invisible hands. Behind her was a policeman in a small car trying to outrun the speeding train. She was safe. If only she had time to plot her escape it wouldn’t have been such a close call. a yell from inside the train broke the deafening silence. “Odelle! what the hell are you doin?” as the sliding door of the train opened, a wall of cold air from inside the train smacked her in the face. A man beckoned her to follow him inside. Reluctantly, Odelle entered. the train car was silent. empty. the same man was sitting on a bench at the far end of the carriage. his face was twisted in a frown, as if he was trying to lift a building with his mind. Odelle inspected his clothing, which was almost the polar opposite to what she was wearing. the man was dressed up in a smart looking suit, like he had a business meeting to attend. his hair was tied up in a tight bun, though a few strands had freed themselves. Odelle on the other hand, wore a pair of black ripped jeans with black combat boots. she had a striped shirt and a simple chain around her neck. her glasses were round and bent as she had broken them many times. her hair was unkept and messy, and it seemed as if a bird had mistaken it for its nest.

“nice of you to open the door, Colt” Odelle mumbled, hoping he wouldn’t hear. “what did you do this time?” he inquired, beckoning her to sit with him. Odelle opened her bag and carefully lifted a small package out one of the many pockets inside before moving to the seat across from

him. “it was for you” she admitted, before passing it to him. “i thought you would like it” the small package was wrapped in brown paper and tied with thin twine. “i didn’t really have time to wrap it properly, i’m sorry.” Colt accepted the gift after a moment of confusion. He carefully ripped open the delicate wrapping. inside was a pendant with a beautiful blue lapis stone in the middle, suspended by a silver chain. “i-it’s lovely,” he stuttered, as he gently lifted the necklace off of the paper. “but why did you have to steal it?” the look of annoyance drained from Odelle’s face and was replaced by embarrassment. “i missed your birthday and i wanted to make it up to you but i didn’t have the money. when you saw it while we were in the store you mentioned how pretty it was.” Colts cold expression melted. “i didn’t tell you to steal it for me though. Did you even think of where you were going to go afterwards?” Odelles face went bright red. she knew that she hadn’t planned this far, but she realised she didn’t have anywhere else to go. “you can stay with me” He suggested. “you don’t have anywhere else to go, do you?” Odelle shook her head. “well we should get off the train soon before anyone recognises you. Odelle snatched her hoodie out of her bag and pulled it over her head.

The days that followed seemed quite boring compared to what had happened. Colt and Odelle spent the next week at home, to be sure that no-one suspected them. The neighbours thought it strange that Colt, a 19 year old, suddenly had a 16 year old child in his home. But their background was much more complex than that, both Colt and Odelle were orphans. they were taken to the same orphanage and grew up together. Odelle was the rebellious type, always stealing bits and peices from the workers. once she stole four books from the public library. She read them, of course but they had never gone back to their places. Each book was quite different from the others, with ‘How the universe works’ by Sara bees, ‘how to escape the worst’ by Jerome Sails, ‘wittling for weebs’ by Erin Kara, and ‘plants and their medicinal properties’ by Meredith eavesbury. she had been gifted her glasses as hand-me-downs from Colt as she would spend hours of the day squinting at books because the words were too blurry. Once she got the glasses, she spent weeks on end reading and plotting her next crime. Colt was quite the opposite, quiet and reserved, though liked books twice as much as Odelle. He was named “the bookworm” by the teachers, which was an educated summary as to who he was. He was always polite to the caretakers but they were worried about him, as his only friend was Odelle. Most of the kids bullied Colt, but Odelle was ready for their face to run into her fist. Colt had left the orphanage over a year ago, as he was never adopted and Odelle was always trying to escape.

the next week to follow was quite uneventful. Odelle stayed at home while colt went to work. He was a bookstore worker, but he didn’t have many customers. he was able to live comfortably though, even with a sixteen year old in the house. Odelle noted it weird that on the train, Colt was dressed so formally. he wore only a plain shirt, a loose brown sweater, and jeans to work. Odelle had to wear Colts old clothes now, until they were able to go shopping.

It was a Monday, Odelle had finally settled into Colts home, and had her own clothes. she still took a shirt or a jacket out of Colts drawer every now and then, but usually wore her own clothes. Both Colt and Odelle had finished their breakfast and were cleaning. A sudden knock on the door echoed through the house “I’ll get it” Odelle mumbled, as she dried her hands and walked to the door. she swung open the door and saw a someone who was around her age, but dressed as if they were from 1970. They wore a dull orange sweater, with a short red skirt. They had plain converse shoes and pale yellow socks. Their dark brunette hair was cut short and they had thick framed glasses that covers her eyebrows. “Oh my gosh it worked,” the strange person seemed familiar to Odelle, but she couldn’t quite place why. “you’re Odelle right?”

“uh, yes that’s me” Odelle thought maybe she’d seen the girl walking by her house, but it was hard to tell.

“I’m Alex. you might not know me but you are my favourite book character and i want to change your story.” It clicked. Alex was from Odelle’s favourite book. “who’s at the door?” yelled colt, as he walked to the door. “wait, are you?” Colt also seemed to recognise Alex, but he had been quicker to notice. “Alex, that’s me. i’ve come from a different world to come and change your story. I do like the way you survived but there were too many people to die.” “die?” Odelle exclaimed. “oh, right you don’t know the end yet” Alex realised. “but you’re from a book, aren’t you” Colt stepped back, confused. “me? from a book? i don’t believe that” Alex seemed to be just as confused as him. Colt ran inside and came back what seemed to be for less than a second. “yes your from a book, see?” the gold letters on the front shone in the sunlight ‘Gum Nut Treehouse Stories’ “No, this cat be right” Alex shook her head and pulled out a similar looking book, but the title read ‘the heist’
