11 October 1884: New Straitsville mine fire

On this day, 11 October 1884, one of the longest-burning fires in the world began when striking mine workers set fire to the New Straitsville mine in Ohio. Miners employed by the Columbus & Hocking Coal and Iron Company had walked out on strike in June, and mine bosses hired scab replacement workers in their place. To prevent the mines from operating, a group of unknown people set fire to mine cars and pushed them into six mines in the area, setting them on fire. The employers attempted to put the fire out but failed, and in the 1930s the government attempted to create barriers to slow the fire, but were also unsuccessful. At points, fires lept over 30 m into the air and could be seen for miles around. Thousands of tourists came to the area and even paid 25 cents to see local guides cook eggs and heat coffee over the subterranean fire. So far over 200 square miles of coal deposits have been burned, and the fire is still burning today (2022).

There’s a lot of things that come to mind when it comes to Viper. You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack. The 347 albums in one year. His career ending with kidnapping and rape charges. But I first found out about him when he refused to pay a video editor and so he got this.

“They want us to be afraid. They want us to censor ourselves before they even have a chance to do it. We will not do that. We will confidently put resistance politics out there into the world to go along with the movements of people who are actively trying to fight against these systems.”

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

I am going to die. I have said for weeks. Now months. Things were making me sick from stress. I’m already disabled and have chronic illness. They won’t let me go to appointments sick. I can’t get better or out of this without the appointments. And the stress is making me sick and won’t ever stop

lumpenpoledancer@daturabombs333.bsky.social · 2d ago

I am being told basically just show up sick to appointments they’ve told me I can’t go to sick. Get over stress and I can’t ask for it to stop. Can’t keep Medicaid then. I can’t get housing. I can’t even raise funds without it stopping. I’ll have to just die. Because I keep getting sicker from it

SC Dem Senate nominee Annie Andrews released an ad calling trans women "biological men." She embraces sports and surgery bans for youth. Her campaign even says she won't work to overturn the HRT/blocker trans youth ban. She once argued against capitulation. Subscribe to support our journalism.
