There was also the MOVE bombing in 1985, Philadelphia PD bombed a neighborhood during a standoff with a black liberation group. They killed 60ish people and left hundreds homeless if i remember right.

it is absolutely BONKERS to me, the number of people in the united states i have talked to who have never even heard of the battle of blair mountain. how the largest labor uprising in our history manages to skirt by so many leftists unknown is just downright astonishing. the largest labor uprising, and the largest armed uprising, period, since the civil war.

did yall even hear me?

THE LARGEST ARMED UPRISING!! besides the civil!!! fucking!! war!!! was fought in 1921 in the name of LABOR RIGHTS AND UNIONS by TEN THOUSAND RIGHTEOUSLY PISSED, STRIKING COAL MINERS

these absolute fucking LEGENDS marching out the hollers of west virginia, wearing their red bandanas and wielding their papaw's shotguns pointed at the lawmen. waging war against the fucking UNITED. STATES. MILITARY!!! for their right to work safely and be paid fairly!!!

and people just like. don't know about that? put some fucking respect on west virginia!!! and fellow appalachians, yall best just own it when ignorant people call you a fucking redneck cause our ancestors did that shit and they did it for us

Hi.

This is not twilight content, my apologies. My big brother died on Saturday, November 11th. My parents are disabled, and we are not very well off. This link will take you to his GoFundMe. I am aware that I am being incredibly vulnerable on the internet, and that leaves me open to harshness and unkindness. But I also know that it leaves me open to compassion and kindness and humanity. If you can, we appreciate any donation possible. If not, thank you for reading.

My brother loved food and cooking. Make yourself something good this week.

I'm disappointed that this doc didn't even mention John K. I just think a doc tackling THIS subject on THIS company should have covered the entire history of Nickelodeon bc it explains how Dan even got away with this stuff bc it was a pre established place for creeps. Cuz its not only an enviroment that more or less tolerates them, but will actively bring them back after concrete allegations came out. And i think the doc should have stepped back on the timeline a bit to cover John K and explain how the workplace environment was changed by him-- and essentially primed Dan, Jason, and Brian to step in.

y’all know me, connoisseur of any and all things vampire media. i found a good one for y’all 

i can’t believe this has flown (hehe) under my radar for so long. a vampire flick??? from lionsgate??? in 2010, a month and a half after the release of new moon??? smack in the middle of twilight mania???

this movie was such a blast, with great casting. ethan hawke? sam neill? willem dafoe???

in essence, it’s a post-vampire apocalypse. it’s sci-fi horror. humans are farmed for their blood like cattle. a vampire hematologist (hilariously) with carlisle cullen-levels of self-loathing teams up with human vampire hunters to save the world. and the name of this vampire hematologist? edward dalton. the movie even has a blue tint.

if you guys check it out lmk. find it on hbo and *ahem* nowhere else

Today is my brother's birthday. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank this community for rallying together when I posted the GoFundMe for his cremation and memorial expenses. Having looked at the totals, I can say with some confidence that a very large percentage came from bloggers here in the twilight space. Because of your donations, he is home with my parents, and his box weights a fuckton, which I do still tease him over. Even though we didn't reach the goal, we had enough to have a small memorial with his friends and family.

There's nothing that makes this better. But the fact that so many of you shared and donated and made a meal you loved for him is an honor I don't take lightly. I will be grateful for the rest of my life.

I don't know if you have seen the new Interview With a Vampire series, but it's amazing and I may be wrong but I think you would enjoy it? From watching and seeing how Sam Reid portrays Lestat it felt similar (if a bit more dramatic) to how you portray Demetri and imagining him acting the way Lestat was when he is lovesick gave me a good laugh today.

Good evening dear Anonymous, I write to you from my new abode (I am procrastinating unpacking)! Thank you so much for your question to me, the author, and to answer you;

Yes, I have indeed watched the first season of the new show and I quite liked it. Some of the imagery is just haunting, beautiful and drop dead gothic. Sam Reid is doing a phenomenal job, and I do think some of his acting choices for Lestat do remind me of Demetri from time to time. The penchant for drama speaks to both Demetri and Aro in that regard if I am to be completely honest.

It has been my intention to go watch the new season, but with packing I have needed familiar shows to have on in the background to entertain myself. Though to be fair; I have read a good amount of Anne Rice's books, so I do know what is going to happen... at least with the broad strokes.

When I am fully moved in I will be sure to tune in.
