My new puppy has hit the second tower and TikTok dog people are now losing their mind over his existence lol. God forbid someone agree to take on a puppy who needed placement that I’m qualified to provide a home for ☠️ anyways here he is having fun with Druid

Found this on instagram and now I’m gonna be singing it all day:

i don't know if folks outside these mountains understand what a state these communities are left in after being ravaged by the coal and steel industries. they endured well over 100 years of paternalistic brutality to provide the resources that built america with nothing in return and that very much informs the culture and collective psyche. force fed opiates to undermine labor movements and hard-won unions after decades of horrific abuse at isolated company towns. living there you can feel how we're all just one giant open wound that can't heal.
