Thomas and Douglas share a common legacy as historic coal mining and lumber towns, both of which reached their zeniths in the first half of the 20th century. The artifacts of area's industrial past, some of which are now being reclaimed by nature, are still evident along Douglas Road, which forks out of Thomas and follows the North Fork of the Blackwater River to Douglas. These include the beehive coke ovens that once lit up the night nonstop to produce coke for local blast furnaces. In addition to the abandoned structures, a number of coal company buildings have been preserved and added to the National Register of Historic Places, including the Davis Coal and Coke Company Administrative Building and the Buxton & Landstreet Company Store, which is now home to the Buxton & Landstreet Gallery and Studios. The area's bittersweet past includes a legacy of human exploitation and racial injustice. Like its brethren, the Davis Coal and Coke Company paid its miners in company scrip that was only redeemable at the company store, which charged inflated prices for goods and ensured it could reclaim their wages at a premium. The area was also home to the Coketown Colored School, a segregated school at the center of an important civil rights victory in 1892, when Carrie Williams, a teacher at the school, teamed with J. R. Clifford, the state’s first African-American lawyer, to defeat an effort by Tucker County to reduce the school’s term. The victory ensured equal pay and terms for African-American schools in West Virginia. The Coketown Colored School closed in 1954 when segregated schools were found unconstitutional.

Do I take the risk of ordering groceries delivered after what happened last time, keeping in mind that I paid a not insignificant amount of money for a membership to this grocery store specifically for the benefit of having groceries delivered, or do I put on pants and shoes and pull my hair up and find a jacket and get out my cart and drag myself all the way over to the grocery store, where I will be tired and hungry and probably buy a ton of random crap I don't need just because it's there
#i suppose if they cancel my order randomly again i can always go to the grocery store myself tomorrow#i will not be renewing my membership <3#and i will never ever be using instacart they cant do ANYTHING#when instacart first entered my awareness they kept running this ad on my pandora stations#where they were talking about how they could handle all sorts of diets#vegan lactose free gluten free you name it! instacart has you covered!#spoiler alert instacart does not have you covered#because shortly after this started i ordered from this grocery store for the first time and it went through instacart#and i had some almond milk on the order#which like#hmmmmmm#lets think about possible reasons why i maybe put ALMOND milk on the order#and the shopper swapped it out for whole milk without even notifying me#not oat milk or soy milk or lactose free milk#whole milk#well that hasnt happened since so my suspicion is that that was just a personal problem with that guy#possibly one of those people who gives people who ordered diet coke regular coke at restaurants#because i KNOW the store wasnt out of almond milk#but well trust destroyed#if i had an actual allergy i would never allow instacart anywhere near my groceries again#lactose intolerance is really more of an inconvenience for me#anyway#its really windy out so i think i will order groceries#speaking of milk i should go see if mine is still good

yaknow . ads obviously work, otherwise companies wouldn't put them everywhere, but i wanna know who in the fresh hell is falling for them. i don't think an ad, save for like,,, trailers for movies/games, has Ever worked on me. most of the time when i'm doing something and an ad interrupts me in any way i make a mental note to Not buy that product in the future outta spite.who is out here watching a febreze commercial and going Damn ur right guess im a febreze truther now
#qktalks#i can Sorta understand food commercials cuz it's sometimes hard to lookat the food in the commercial and Not want it#but like.the likelihood of me wanting it so bad that i get up and go to the store for it is like literally 0#and the likelihood of me Remembering that commercial and my craving like a week later when im actually at the store ? like 2%#i REALLY don't understand car commercials#like i get they're prolly targeting a very small audience who actually has enough money for or is actively looking to buy a car#but im just baffled it seems to be working. like they prolly wouldn't make these commercials if they didn't bring in sales#so obviously it's working.why on EARTH is it WORKING#most of them also boast abt acceleration speeds n shit which <3 imo <3 ur STOP speed should be the thing to advertise.#but that's another matter#celebrity commercials too ..... why r u more inclined to buy a coke bc some singer u like was in a coca cola commercial#why r people so obsessed w celebrities .........................ill never get it#anyway uhm . hi.bye

Do you think Byakuya does normal things anyone else does? Like waking up at like 3 AM to eat shredded cheese out of the fridge?
I just think it would be funny if Makoto caught him hunched over like some sort of creature with a pinch of cheese in one hand and a bag in the other.
Yah but I think he’s a lot more embarrassed about it. Cause like. He’s a Togami he’s supposed to be above “normal” people. So like. Naegi will find him being a little cheese creature and Togami wont be able to look him in the eyes for like a week
#eggs can answer#danganronpa#drthh#byakuya togami#makoto naegi#sorry I’ve been a smidge absent on the ask box game I’m on vaycay#I bought a monokuma plushie the other day from a store he drinks my coke and calls me a bitch

ranked choice voting but it's Subway:

#this is my favorite subway bc instead of me spending my drive time thinking ''what sandwich do i want today?''#i just drive and sing along to my driving tunes and then i get to subway and the sandwich i order is chosen for me :)#not pictured: the handwritten sign on the soda machine kindly informing me that there's no ice. there's no Hi-C. there's no water.#so i got some warm flat diet coke and a turkey sandwich minus a few veggies :)#(this specific subway is situated in the STUPIDEST shopping plaza in town-- there is ONE driveway to get in/out and it's so close to the#very large traffic intersection that you can spend up to 5 light cycles before traffic clears enough that you can get out. ALSO!#the driveway that goes around the back of the buildings is a really sharp right turn from the only exit/entrance so semi trucks like#Sysco food delivery-- and even the garbage truck-- have a really difficult time of 1. getting IN the parking lot and then 2. making#a really sharp right turn almost immediately after entering the plaza and then 3. if they want to get out... they have to BACK UP THE#ENTIRE WAY. that stupid driveway around the back of the plaza? it doesn't connect back to the parking lot and there's no turn-around space#so Sysco sometimes... just doesn't even bother delivering. if the truck can't get into the parking lot after X minutes then they just#drive on to their next place for delivery. and the other restaurants in the plaza are very local/family-owned places so some of their#supplies are purchased at the restaurant depot store by the owner who just gets it in their personal vehicles

caring for your intestines is not fun; knew I had too many fiber-based treats yesterday, so I had some fruits and veggies today plus some dried prunes and, for the first time, kombucha
turns out kombucha carbonation is next level compared to soda carbonation, and intestinal distress is a known side effect of having kombucha for the first time, on top of everything else happening in my guts at the time
and then I went over to my parents for chili and cornbread for dinner
finally the evil is being expelled, and since this is the oversharing about your body community, I'm venting here about it
#cc og#I bought like five other bottles of the stuff too rip in pieces; hoping itll be fine if i don't drink a whole bottle in one sitting#i love the semi ai listicles about the side effects of kombucha; they so clearly want to hit a minimum of three to five items#so other side effects include potentially excess weight gain or sugar intake bc kombucha has as much sugar and cals as... a regular soda#and also watch out for the caffeine! up to ten whole milligrams per serving! (a fraction of what a coke has)#and finally they list the potential for alcohol content as if those with a noticeable amount wouldn't be labeled at the store#so you get four completely useless paragraphs and one in the middle that actually says that the mix of different probiotics and#carbonation can fuck your stomache up if you aren't used to it#anyways the situation would be best described as liquid and im actually very relieved about that#constipation is wayyy less fun
