According to
@WVGovernor
WV has now crossed the 4,300 mark for Covid deaths. So if you happen to give a damn, our state which really cannot afford to lose a single person has now lost a Barboursville (pop, 4,268) worth of good Mountaineers.

needs to decriminalize marijuana. We have 100 good-paying jobs in Htown now to process medical and dispensaries all over WV. There's 36 states with medical, 19 with recreational and 27 states decriminalized. It's a waste of taxpayer $ busting folks for pot
Why are we wasting time trying to annex Virginia counties when you know all of WV wants the Southern Panhandle of Myrtle Beach π to come home to its Mountain Mama
Stoked we can announce the final headliner

The struggle is real to stay calm. As a Bengals fan since back in the day, and living through the two SB losses as a kid, feeling anxious and amped up for tonight.
@JustinMcElroy
Weird but serious homesteading question ... if you have any hardwood sawdust we could use some. Jakeβs got us growing blue oyster mushrooms in buckets. Iβll exchange for this yearβs vintage of dandelion wine.
We are truly overwhelmed to announce that this yearβs Candlenights raised $242,100. To everyone who bought a ticket or merch, our most heartfelt thanks. Your money will help

to continue their work providing aid to those in need.
So proud of

Come see Tyler play all the new songs in September at Healing Appalachia!

Word. Brother. Democracy is NOT a spectator sport. It can all go away if we the people do not stand up to corruption, abuse of power and malfeasance in the highest offices.
@UKCoachCalipari
As a UK grad, I say thank you Coach Cal. Itβs always the right time to do the right thing. And it is always the right time to protest social justice. Itβs a great lesson for the players.
@TTChilders
Me and
@crbeeblebrox
were talking about starting a mosh pit during that Slut Pill set. We loved their songs and their message. Weβre all in this fight together to build a better Appalachia and they get it. Cheers for having them as the Friday opener.
We've been so lucky to have such a wise, empathetic, resilient and brave leader of the fire department during the unprecedented turbulent times of the Opioid crisis. Stoked that she will continue that work in her new role.

announced Friday, Jan. 14, that Fire Chief Jan Rader will retire, effective Feb. 11, 2022, and transition into the new position of director of the Mayorβs Council on Public Health and Drug Control Policy. More:
We got a kid in there somewhere over in the western portion of that freshman throng. Prayers and best wishes for a great, healthy and safe year for students here in WV and everywhere.
A personβs worth is not how much money they have, but how they show love. And I love the way Courtney states that fact. Also,
@HesslerHD
had to write this moving story about her dad who died in a tragic house fire. Please lift her up in your prayers. I canβt imagine.
βWhenever I think of what an Appalachian is, he is textbook. He lived well below the poverty line, but he would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He would help any animal that was injured. He was funny, and he cared deeply about his community.β
So proud of

and all our friends on these three records. Stoked they were able to record at James Barkerβs, and canβt wait til folks lay ears on the

Cheers to our friendly neighborhood retro drive-in - Frostop on its 60th anniversary. Iβm a slaw dog, chili cheese fries, root beer and chocolate malt guy. What is your go-to Frostop food and drink?
My heart is with my journalist brothers and sisters in Annapolis. As someone who worked for a paper destroyed in a tornado yet still put out a hell of a paper the next day, I can testify to the communal good of putting out a paper against all odds. There is no other choice.
A perk of working for the state, getting a first look at the sweet new

Save the date! HMAF is back for 2021 and we couldn't be happier to give the good news. Stay tuned for more updates and information! We'll see you soon.

Giving blood is painless, easy and helps save the lives of sunglass wearing beagles and people too.
Stoked folks are getting to experience "King Coal." It's one of the best films to come out of Appalachia. It's Coal. It's West Virginia. It's the past, present, future. It's beautiful. It's complex. It's complicated. And it will get you thinking and talking. That is a good thing.
Great time and some awesome vintage deals at Central City Days. The new Cicada Books bookstore and cafe had a soft opening. It will open July 2 on 14th St West in
