hi folks,
hope your day is going well. below is a post regarding Camp Coldwater. if you have the ability to contribute to the media presence there please do!

A new report has just arrived suggesting that this evening, 30-40 police began putting more pressure on the people of Camp Coldwater. Although it does not appear that the police are gearing up to evict or raid the camp, our report strongly suggests that the people of the camp desire an increase in media presence to further expose this illegal treatment they have received at the hand of the authorities. Please revisit http://twincities.indymedia.org/2008/sep/dakota-reclamation-camp-support and get the word out.

hi everyone
it is a beautiful day here, hope you are hanging in there.

I am trying to contain my disgust with the local headlines these days. For example, I feel that "Morva gets death" is a misleading, and sensationalist, headline.

this is an inaccurate and lurid way to let the public know that a Montgomery County, Virginia governing body just handed down, with the help of nine citizens, an execution order to punish Will Morva for his crimes.

this is a very, very different thing than "getting" death. for example, now that this judgment has been handed down, an automatic appeal process has begun.

people really need to be more considerate of the people that care about Will Morva's future, like his momma, and his editors, and his wranglers and so forth. putting your name on a headline like the one I just mentioned is a good way to never find out what it's like to enjoy Thanksgiving 2.0 in the Traces library on Will Morva's dime.

bye, thanks for reading, have a beautiful day. -Suzy

hi everyone
hope you all are doing well

things here are OK, I assume; I do not know of any landslides, floods, avalanches, or executions in progress, although I am extremely concerned about the possibility that W. Morva might be executed as a result of his actions during his attempt to escape custody and reach the forests of Katuah. this, as I understand it, was his goal on the day he entered the Montgomery County, Virginia hospital for treatment.

words cannot express how much sorrow I feel about all the lives that have been lost recently in the shadow of Brush sama. but so-called "capital punishment" (I consider this phrase to be a euphemism for execution) in the case of W. Morva will do nothing to bring back these souls to the realm of the living. so to me, headlines that speculate about whether or not Will is going to get the "death penalty" strike me as a sickening wake-up call as to our culture's general numbness to murder.

killing prisoners to punish them greatly is a terrible idea. and giving any representative of the Imprisonment Industry the idea that you think it is OK merely increases the state's ability to extend its influence and frighten the public. so why encourage, or permit it at all?

just a few thoughts for this 03-14. hope you are having a beautiful day. -Suzy

hi everyone
hope you are having a nice day

did you find any Snaque Shaque infrastructure yet? if so, or if not, don't worry. locomotion of the Snaque Shaque may take a while today, and since the Birthday Person being honored today is an avowed Birthday Hater there is really no rush. so, you still have time to pick out something nice to contribute to the infrastructure. if you encounter some Snaques bound for Ayuwa'sishima before your gift arrives just make out a quick coupon and put it in with the rest of the loot.

bye, namaste, thanks for reading. -Suzy

The sudden loss of John 2 Ponies on February 22, 2008 has greatly saddened
his family, folks who enjoy his music, and numerous members of the Southwest
Virginia community where he made his home.

Many of John’s friends and fans are working to locate resources
for projects which have the potential to provide this well-loved artist with
an "encore" call in perpetuity in the form of a digital archive which will
continue to produce cultural assets for many generations to come.

More information on John 2 Ponies' life and music can be found here.

hi everyone
hope you are doing well

the Coffee Access fairies have been consistently good to me as of late, as have their kinfolk the KILI Radio Access fairies.

Feb. 25 will mark the date of a walk and a ride to celebrate the station's birthday.

here is a page which contains info on something happening in Floyd on 02-29-08. I hope you will be a part of it!

so, I have been sharing a bit of fairy lore recently, and thought I would give you a couple of book suggestions that would help you build on your current fairy lore knowledge base.

the first is by Jeremiah Curtin and it is called Tales of the Fairies and of the Ghost World.

the second is Myths of the Cherokee by James Mooney, a book which some rogue Shouseki digitizer unsuccessfully tried to swipe from the Deer Haven studios late last year. as far as I know the librarian got less than a slap on the wrist for this crime but non-Shouseki digitizing entities should be advised that the same rules do not apply to those persons who consider themselves to be above the law when it comes to helping themselves to digital fac-similes of a Shouseki person's personal data.

anyway the book is there still, as far as I know, and contains EXTREMELY fascinating tales of giant leeches, semi-visible warriors that live inside mountains, dancing panthers that talk and much, much more...including stories about a tiny race of people that lived inside the realm known as Katúah before the Cherokee arrived.

apparently the tiny white folks were forced out of their homes in the mountains by the Cherokee, who thought they were weird. before they left, they warned the Cherokee not to cross a certain river because they would be killed by a giant leech.

were these tiny people in fact fairies who were trying to keep the hapless Cherokee from contact with what would later become the District of Columbia? can the depigmented pre-Katúah people and the Cherokee work out their past differences so that peace and harmony can be attained in this realm? can they work together so that no Shouseki people, or anyone, for that matter, will wind up as mere leech food?

inquiring minds want to know. and they sure would like to get a hold of that book again.

I need to go now, take care & thanks for reading. -Suzy
