I went on a hunt to find out more about my 5x g-grandfather. What I found was a polygamist with two wives and 16 children. Meet Dillion Blevens Asher ya’ll.

One hundred years ago a Gastineau cousin was unalived. His brother became suspect #1 when it was revealed that he was the beneficiary of $100k in insurance. Oh, and the pair were also bootleggers. This story is 100% true. #genealogy #truecrime #kentucky

I’ve been in fight or flight mode for weeks. Yesterday, I watched rabbits before a storm and they taught me an important lesson that I’ve taken to heart.

I don’t mean to be weird and dramatic but I just want to scream my brains out and eat everything and fight everyone like God’s angriest little seagull, but also just go live on the bottom of the ocean like a flounder with a little peanut brain and everything is dumb and I hate it

Telling the truth of our country requires telling the whole truth.

I really hate that a thing I started writing eight years ago is even more relevant now. sassynik.medium.com/narrowing-ou...

I grew up in Kentucky and was known for being sassy. Even when I didn’t speak, my face was sassy. I came by it honestly. Here’s why.

A few weeks ago my parents gave me a toolbox that belonged to my g-grandfather. Last week, @drewdodd.bsky.social picked a folding ruler out of the box and said “we’ve got to do something with this.” A few days later he sent me this photo while I was at work.
