I grew up with guns, but in a state with fairly strict gun control laws. Wondering how many states would allow you to bring home that working pre-1987 machine gun you purchased at Knob Creek. #guns
medium.com/@kidether/the-cul… No humor in this Dispatches. Just tooth and claw as we take on guns in The Cult of Pig Iron and The Taste of Copper. Enjoy!

I've been mentoring a writer from Eastern Kentucky. Last night he sent me this, a devastating personal look at what #healthcaredisparities look like in his area of Appalachia. Follow him on Medium, give him a tip. medium.com/@kidether/poverty… #healthcare #poverty

I remember the vampire killers incident, and the fear from Columbine. And hearing from peole with nonconforming kids today … has anything really changed? There are still bullies, backed up by their parents.
medium.com/@kidether/the-fir… Brand new Dispatches from Appalachia. This time dealing with the Satanic Panic of the late 90's, The so called 'Vampire Killers' and small town America.

I have to hustle a bit harder, but I get to spend more time with blood and chosen family. I can take care of my own mental health needs. Just tired of being treated as a second-class citizen by the establishment. #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers

3 in 5 freelancers say they make the same or more than they’d make working for a traditional employer. 60% say no amount of money would convince them to take a traditional job. ➡️ The ABC Test ignores reality. ⬅️ #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers fightforfreelancersusa.com/d…

Freelancing allowed me to earn a living while being there for my mother slowly dying of cancer and my dad experiencing heart failure. If you want to be helpful, give editorial freelancers real, uncomplicated tax deductions. #WhatTheHellDOL #FightForFreelancers

This sums up my thoughts admirably. If this is implemented my main client will not be able to survive, and I like the freedom of having a variety of clients. #WhatTheHellDOL
