Meet my 3rd great grandfather, Norman Sills, a miner in the late 19th century. A lot of my grandmother’s side worked as miners and rail workers in PA and OH. He died in a mine collapse. Let’s not go back to coal. #FamilyArchives #AreWeGreatYet
Faded photo of my great-great-great grandfather, John N. Sills, Jr. wearing suspenders, a long-sleeved work shirt, and a hat. He is looking at the camera and holding a baby girl.Newspaper clipping, circa 1906. 
“MINE CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Little Town of Ava Reports One Fatality And Serious Runa-way, in Which Two Are Injured.

The mines of Guernsey county added another name to their long list of victims when John Sills, age 42, was crushed to death by a fall of slate and coal in the Detroit mine near Ava, south of Cambridge, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Mr. Sills was working at entrance & break through, when the fall occurred and although a skillful miner and well versed in the dangers that beset one of his calling, he did not recognize is peril until too late.
Other miners were working near but could not reach the unfortunate man to render assistance, other than removing the body from the debris.
Mr. Sills had been engaged in mining all of his life and on account of his thorough understanding of the industry has held many responsible positions. He was one of the foremost citizens uf Ava, in every re-spect.

This is blatant, straight-forward corruption coming out of the Ohio Statehouse. Do not believe a single word Matt Huffman says.

Today’s double sided poster for Hands Off protests. Attended 2 today! One in our county seat and the other in my small Ohio city. Good turnout for both! People are angry about the cuts to the federal government, DOGE, and the Trump tariffs.
Poster with large text Hands Off. underneath terms like Medicaid, social security. Bottom line of text is Elon back to S. Africa.Poster with text stating, No Kings, No Monarch, No Police State

Mental illness is not a synonym for "ignorant" or "bigoted" or "indoctrinated". So many other phrases you can use, why should we use one that derides the people we should be fighting for?

Also, I guess while I’m begging people to do things - if you’re still saying stuff like “there’s not gonna be an election after 4 years” - esp if you’re outside the US - I’m sorry, but this is both ignorant and unhelpful. Things are bad, yes, but a lot of people are fighting for betterment.

And the signs were absolute gold.
Drawing of orange Kool-Aid Man with Trump’s face. Text says “Fool-Aid. Just drink and believe! 100% fact free.”Man holds flag with Trump as a clown that says “Elect a clown, expect a circus.” Tied to the flag is a Trump baby balloon.A Vietnam Veteran holding a sign that’s says “I’m a veteran. Not a sucker or loser.” An upside down American flag is attached.Woman holding 3 American flags and a sign reading “Pussy grabs back!” It depicts a calico cat with its claws on Trump’s head.

If the last few months have made anything clear, it's that we can't rely on the mythical "moderate conservative" to stop this. If we're going to get anything done, we've gotta do it ourselves.

The main source of state funding for Ohio’s public libraries was eliminated in the House draft of the state operating budget for the next two years. Analysis by the Ohio Library Council shows state funding would drop by more than $100 million compared to the governor’s proposal.
