On this day in 1912, the Paint Creek Mine War began when West Virginia miners struck, demanding formal union recognition and fairer labor practices. The incident quickly escalated into one of the worst labor conflicts in U.S. history.

The event, also known as the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike, centered on the area enclosed by two streams, Paint Creek and Cabin Creek. It is considered part of the "Coal Wars", a series of armed conflicts between workers and coal companies from the 1890s - 1930s in the United States.

The strike lasted for fourteen months, and over 5,000 workers participated. Notable labor organizer Mother Jones (shown) came to West Virginia to support the workers, organizing a secret march of 3,000 armed miners to the steps of the state capitol in Charleston to read a declaration of war to Governor William E. Glasscock.

The confrontation directly caused approximately fifty violent deaths from armed conflicts between miners and strike-breaking forces, as well as many more deaths indirectly caused by starvation and malnutrition among the striking miners. In terms of casualties, it was among the worst conflicts in American labor history.

Hi nerds, I'm on ~~depression~~ a break still, been playing a lot of Front Mission on the DS, pls ask me abt my lance!

Unjust Depths is forever in my mind though, despite the stuff it's been really incredibly enriching, I'm like a well-cared-for cat. Reading something that's that fucking good and then being able to converse and discuss it with people is the most potent drug for me, I adore the breadth of different takes I hear on it. Everybody loves it but in considerably different ways, because it is vast and complex and very worthy of talking bout. I value the variety in perspective a lot.

This is all I have ever wanted, just talking on the internet about a thing I like with cool people who like it too ❀

Found a budget golgari infect deck and it’s like a fucking elevator how fast I’m climbing the ladder. People seem to hate playing against poison decks. Oh, what’s that? You thought I had to count to 20? Surprise, I can only count to 10

3 turns, 2 mana, 10 poison. God damn this deck is rogue

Skaters: is there a difference between a Casper flip and hospital flip? Some say it's only a Casper if the back foot touches the board, but....eh, if that happens it's a style thing and isn't affecting the flip. I've heard it said a couple times a hospital flip is only a quarter flip and then a wrap around but that just seems like people that can't do the trick good talking

People that maybe understand this more than me, help me out, musical electrical engineer stuff I...guess:

So, I've got a noise/industrial thing going with a pal and he found a piano corpse. Essentially it's the body with the strings intact and in tension but certainly not in tune but the legs and keyboard are gone. We have found it makes really fucking cool noises when the strings are hit with drum mallets. So we wanna hook this up to an Amp and run run some homemade pedal through it. The piano strings are steel and my plans were that I have an old bass where pretty much everything that isn't the electronics is broken and I was just gonna hook that up to the inside of the piano. Would the pickups pick that up?

Learning to ferment kefir and the milk has separated and gone all grainy on me twice in a row. Pretty sure my spot for it is too warm. They are also new grains and I don' know what to look for yet.

Going to chill about it and keep going. My sourdough starter took a year to become very good, and 6 years to become a resilient beast. It's a process, for the scoby and me both.

@bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net I have some thoughts for a cheaper moleskine replacement!

  • If there is a daiso near you they may have something equivalent for $2-5.

  • AliExpress has many similar notebooks in the $5-$10 range.
