"After #Hurricane Helene, a group called Latinos Aventureros covered more than 4,300 miles crisscrossing Western #NorthCarolina, spending 650 volunteer hours delivering #food, water, medicine, and other supplies to an estimated 1,700 people.
...the group’s typical mandate: helping Latino families get outside in natural areas like Wilson Creek
... “We didn’t wait for permission. We didn’t wait for funding... We just showed up.”"

Western North Carolina Pleaded for Hurricane Help. It Got ICE Instead.
As the G20 descends on Asheville, the communities that helped rebuild after Hurricane Helene live in fear of Trump’s immigration regime.

Text from article:
And instead of receiving still-needed federal assistance, earlier this summer, Western North Carolina got Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
ICE agents, U.S. Forest Service personnel, and Caldwell County sheriff’s deputies arrested 13 people at Wilson Creek on July 26. Among them was a father there with his partner and their 4- and 10-year-old children, who had to watch their dad be taken into custody. ICE claimed some of those arrested had criminal records, but it hasn’t said who or how many.
To Ortiz, there was “a real sense of betrayal.” Volunteers with Latinos Aventureros had helped clean the recreation area, where the organization encouraged families to swim, hike, fish, and picnic on public lands. Families have since said they are afraid to use outdoor spaces because they fear encountering immigration enforcement.
“A huge part of our work has always been telling Latino families: These public lands belong to you, too,” Ortiz said. “If people are afraid to walk through that gate, then meaningful access has already been damaged.”
"The fear of immigration enforcement could bring additional anxiety to a region struggling to recover, Asheville officials warned in 2025. “Our community is still recovering from Hurricane Helene,” Mayor Esther Manheimer and other local officials said at the time. “We do not need additional stress and fear.”"

Today I awoke to a dreary overcast day, perfect of the universe to give me an overcast day on the only day in a few months that I've even had to go photographhin', but we work with what we're given. The journey is the destination and all that.
So here are some buildings and the scenery in the main part of West End in Winston Salem, NC. Not a terrible ton of fodder out there, but enough to fill the till for the day and get me out and about for a while.
After this I went and had some dipping tacos at a legit Mexican place and got mom a taco salad to take back home with me. I didn't feel much like stopping too many places.
The workflow has evolved. I now have neat little imagemagick scripts. How quaint! After I edit with #rawtherapee, I run my scripts to downsample my images to the size I like at the quality I like for my server.
As-is, my photos tend to overexpose, but I can always wrench them back on the editor. The camera says my brightness is perfect, but it always looks too washed out to me on the editor. I would trust the .jpeg files from the camera as-is if this wasn't the case, though I did do some cropping on two of these.

The photograph captures a peaceful Appalachian farm on a bright summer day.
In the foreground, a weathered wooden fence stretches across the bottom of the scene, its gray boards showing years of sun and rain. A wooden utility pole stands to the left, with a single power line cutting diagonally through the sky.
Beyond the fence is a wide, gently sloping pasture covered in lush green grass. Near the center sit two old barns with faded, rusty red metal roofs. The larger barn has open bays underneath, revealing dark shadows where livestock or equipment may once have been sheltered. The smaller barn sits farther back to the right, also open-sided, with farm equipment or storage visible inside. A small white outbuilding is tucked between them in the distance.
The pasture is enclosed by wooden fencing and bordered on all sides by dense forest. Towering pines and hardwood trees form a deep green wall around the meadow, creating the feeling of a secluded mountain valley. Through a small gap in the trees, the faint outline of a distant ridge can be seen.
Overhead, the sky is a brilliant blue filled with towering white cumulus clouds. The sunlight is bright but softened by the drifting clouds, casting an even glow across the field without harsh shadows.
The overall impression is one of quiet rural life—an old mountain farm where time seems to move slowly, surrounded by forest, fresh air, and the peaceful beauty of the Appalachian countryside.
Normally where I'd be taking off every weekend to peruse nature, I've been kicking it with some family lately, and having my pipe on my back porch instead of a log somewhere, but come fall, I will descend upon the changing leaves, and try to find you guys some cool NC mushrooms.
For now, I will be a bit more vocal about news and things online. Rest assured the fire continues.

July 2, 1983, 43 years ago today: Took a day off in Waynesboro, VA. From May 18, 1983: From Georgia to Virginia run long intricate strands of interconnected mountain ranges anchored by the main fork of the Blue Ridge on the east and another fork far to the west. The deep gorges of major rivers such as the Little Tennessee divide this western fork into a series of separate mountain ranges.

The sun-drenched forest floor is carpeted with lush green grass in most places.

One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.
Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.
Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.
"Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"
BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!
Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.
I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

How and Why to Fight Back Against #SocialMedia Bans
Several U.S. states are pushing to ban young people from social media entirely. This marks the latest wave of #censorship bills masquerading as “children’s online safety” measures, with states like #Massachusetts , #Idaho , #Minnesota , #NorthCarolina , #SouthCarolina , #Illinois , and EFF’s home state of #California leading the charge.
Just a few years ago, lawmakers supporting age-gating laws insisted their efforts were narrowly targeted at limiting young people’s access to adult content.
