Appalachia

I know i mentioned before that I would be talking about some Appalachian stuff, but i really didn’t expect my first post would be about it. I have deep roots in Appalachia. Oh yeah, let me get this out of the way: it’s Ah*as in apple-puh-lah*same kinda A in the first syllable-chuh*like Chuck without the hard k. At least to me, that’s what it is. It bothers me when people say it different, but I’m not the kind of asshole who calls people out for it. Not to their face, at least. So this is going to be kind of an intro for the different Appalachian topics about which i want to speak. Or type.

I want to talk about the Melungian people of the Appalachian area; the Death obsessed culture, but not in like a scary movie kind of way, it’s kinda positive. I want to talk about lifelong skills i learned growing up an actual hillbilly (a term i use with pride). The Appalachian area is so well known for ghosts, I’ll probably need 2 about the Death culture.

I’m so proud of Appalachia in a lot of ways, but not in every way; there’s complications. I’ve got a lot to say on the topic, but there’s going to be other stuffs, too. I’ve got a Iist of movies I’m gonna drag out, I’ve got a lot of personal current events to go thru. You guys remember Current Events in school? Is that still a thing? It’s probably just pictures of fire and crying. Anyway, I love you all my friends; be good to animals, it was their world first. I’m a safe person if you need one, let me know. The inmates are running the asylum but I’ve got you. IYKYK. 🤙
