The Cassandra Cat (aka Až přijde kocour)

I went there a couple weeks ago! Very excellent food

People have fought since that book came out not to lose control over the term "Appalachian," with collections like Appalachian Reckoning and the like. But I've been more worried about losing control over the term hillbilly, which is uniquely vulnerable to being co-opted into this kind of bs

Anyway I shouldn't have been surprised that there would be a kind of sequel that introduces the ideological antithesis to the Hillbilly, this is a country that has somehow produced 3 Avatar movies after all

Marking the whiteness of Appalachians as a way to safeguard the unmarkedness of the other kinds of white in the country is obviously not new but it's getting kind of Lovecraftian and I mean that both in the "they are calling us Devolved Semihumans" way and the "they hate Black people" way
