“Appalachia is images of strikes and strife and land hollowed out for coal, but it is also images of joy and freedom. Our album is filled with images of people who suffered, but also people who fought.”

“The people of Appalachia have never needed empathy; what we need is solidarity, real and true, which comes from the understanding that the harm done to me is connected to the harm done to you.”

What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia
“In its rendering as a place sitting stagnant in the past, in which “modernity” is a goal to achieve not a point on a timeline, Appalachia has been discursively queered for the greater part of the twentieth century. It has been suspended in a never-where of the past and denied access to the present as long as it remained an unruly and “unproductive” part of the body of the nation-state.”

“Crafting Queer Histories of Technology”
Published in Y’all Means All: The Emerging Voices Queering Appalachia
“A flaw of popular narratives about Appalachia is the willingness of authors to describe destruction and social decline in lurid detail while remaining wholly uninterested in the people who challenged it.”
