Yow! This is an fantastic and nasty version of the Willie Dixon classic - that’s James Burton on guitar.

Looking for a rp partner for Raylan x Boyd! I really wanna delve deeper into their past, but I’m okay with doing stuff when they’re older too, I’m not super picky.

I prefer people over 18 years of age because Its just my preference. I do like writing smut and a lot of the themes I wanna explore are probably more suitable for mature people.

I also don’t enjoy ting ass replies, I like detailed, and long. Not like a whole book worth, but something I can work off of. I use 3rd person as well.

I don’t have a preference on who is who either, I can be Raylan or Boyd.

If this interests you I use discord to roleplay, mine is fightclub#4115

Remembrance of Harlan’s Valiant Workers’ Insurrection

By Colby T. In the light of Labor Day, a holiday in celebration of the worker, I would like to remember the valiant efforts of the men of the 2019 Harlan County coal miners’ protest. These five men rallied for their beliefs against the company they worked for, which shortcutted them during a time of financial bankruptcy, known as Blackjewel. On Monday, July 29th – a vigilant resident near the…

“Now, Do you want us all to believe that Shelby here is a dishonest man because Black Pike tells us so? You think Shelby’s the only man in this room been done wrong by a coal mining company? Mr. Napier, everybody here knows that the only men The Company don’t do wrong are Company Men. And you stand up there with your slick haircut, you look down on Shelby because this man works for a living? You talk down to me because I’ve been in trouble with the law. Well, you know when that trouble began? Why don’t you ask your good friend Harvey Jones, he was there. He was on the line, when we struck out at Eastover, Brookside, Duke Power scabs, and gun thugs coming after us with bicycle chains and bats, trying to run us over in their cars. Now I know that you weren’t there, Mr. Napier. But there sure were a lot of men there who looked like you. Men standing on The Company side, laughing at all us hillbillies who were just trying to stand up for what we believed in. Now, I’m not saying you’re a bad man, Mr. Napier. That, I don’t know. But what I do know is that you’ve been feeding too long at the public trough. Now, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m gonna say no to the Company Men. I’m gonna say no to the lawmen who disrespect the rights of the people whose taxes pay for their salaries. And I’m gonna say no, I’m gonna say no, I’m gonna say no to sheriff Tillman Napier, who laughs in our faces as he makes money off our backs.”

Every non-USAmerican lecturing us to "just join a union; it's not hard; the laws and violence prove that your government is scared!" Needs to watch the documentary Harlan County USA, which documents the brutal strike breaking against miners in Harlan County Kentucky in the 1970s.

The documentary is free to watch on the Internet Archive here (warning for extreme violence) https://archive.org/details/harlan.county.usa.1977

I understand that some people think we're not trying hard enough to unionize, but the legacy of unions in the USA is full of lots of people being brutalized and murdered for unionizing. Not to mention that a lot of the people you're talking down to about "just join a union already" are undocumented or have coworkers who are undocumented--that makes things 10x harder.

Sometimes violence is just state/capitalist power reasserting itself. It doesn't mean you're winning or even close to winning. The people on megaphones or on Instagram shouting "they're brutalizing us because they are SCARED of our POWER" are ignorant or lying. That's something I've had to learn the hard way. We're like an annoying mosquito at worst. The people in power are not scared of the mosquito, just mildly irritated, and they will crush us without a second thought.

By all means try to unionize, I'm not telling my fellow Americans not to. But jfc some of you really don't know the history.

old gods of harlan county

No one really knows where or when the Givens’ curse began. There’s tales, of course. There always are. Some Givens or another did wrong by a witch either of the hills or the hollers and a curse of the wolf was cast on the men of their bloodline.
