Ken Youens-Clark @kyclark.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My step-father was present at the 1940 public hanging of Hilton Fortenberry in Sharkey County, Mississippi. I believe that was the last one in the state. 000

Ken Youens-Clark @kyclark.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Mind you, I'm not sure he's telling the truth. He is an advertiser/political type who's worked for every level of politics in MS for decades. Whether it's true that he wrote it, he's proud to say he got the campaign to run with it. 110
Ken Youens-Clark @kyclark.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So...my step-father claims to have coined this phrase on behalf of the CHS campaign. Proudly proclaimed this to me last weekend, even though I have a transgender child who is hurt by this kind of rhetoric. I was/am disgusted but also thought it might be good to co-opt the phrase. 110

Ken Youens-Clark @kyclark.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I lived in NM for a few years and got used to words like "arroyo" and "mesa" (being a white boy from the Deep South). Then I moved to AZ where I literally see "Arroyo Chico Wash" and "Table Mesa Road" and I think "fscking white people." 110

Ken Youens-Clark @kyclark.bsky.social · 25/08/2026My parents ran an advertising agency when I was a kid. They went to Nashville to cut some jingles in the 70s, and Dolly Parton walked into the studio kitchen while my mom was getting coffee. Dolly introduced herself like she wasn't already known to millions. The woman was genuinely sweet and kind. 010

Ken Youens-Clark @kyclark.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I'm from the American South and slip in and out of that accent on an as-needed basis. I set my Siri voice to Irish and speak in an Irish accent to my phone. When I lived in Boston, I mimicked the locals when I needed to ask directions. It's both a skill issue and subconscious for me. 000
