The submitter commented, “there was a terrorist attack on our electrical stations like a year ago that caused a county-wide power outage and i wanna know how many people on tumblr remember that […]”

Edited to add link, and to clarify that motivations for the attack are disputed.

For anyone who would like to help get food out to the Moore County folks affected by the attack this weekend, this is a smaller effort but a local family will be grilling out and handing out food this afternoon, and handing out whatever leftovers they have tomorrow. Any and all donations are appreciated, no matter how small. I will be both helping hand out food & will be keeping an eye on any other direct aid opportunities. venmo: Ivan-Maximo-1 cashapp: $sarastaal1

hey so cool stuff there was an infrastructure attack in my home state with the intent of shutting down a (private, ticketed, adults only) drag event.

here's my initial coverage of it.

here's a twitter thread explaining what is being investigated.

proud boys in NC stated repeatedly they weren't going to protest this event due to it being adults only. but their telegram went fully silent yesterday evening after celebrating a drag event cancelation in ohio.

an email from a person to me states "According to Southern Pines/Aberdeen residents, break-ins to banks, gas stations, local Walmart’s, and family stores have begun across town."

so. keep the NC LGBTQ community in your thoughts right now. this is an act of terrorism.

12/4/2022 - BTW: the drag show went on regardless of the power outage:

Dr. Sarah Taber: Some local context. This is in Southern Pines NC. It's kinda like the Shelbyville to Fayetteville's Springfield. The Eagleton to our Pawnee. Southern Pines is where the snobs go so they don't have to look at Fayetteville!

Here's the story of Pinehurst & Southern Pines. Back in the Gilded Age some robber baron got tired of winter, took a train south, & when he found the first place it was warm enough to play golf, he built a resort town. It's been a wealthy golf retirement enclave ever since. Then, in WWI, Fort Bragg got built. Southern Pines used to be nice & isolated from dumpy, scrubby Fayetteville. Fort Bragg connected them. Integrated them, you could almost say. With federal salaries, why, *anyone* could afford to move out of Fayetteville into Southern Pines.

Fayetteville wasn't always a dumpy army town. It used to be a dumpy turpentine town! We're a stretch of sandy pine barrens: neither flat, fertile cotton land (acceptable place for rich white people) & the piedmont's lush rolling hills (also acceptable for rich white people).

A lot of the economic activity was forestry, turpentine, & tar. Because white folks saw the land in & around Fayetteville as worthless, there weren't exactly a lot of Scarlett O'Hara types clamoring to come here. It became a haven for free Black people well before the Civil War.

This led to Fayetteville getting a Certain Reputation amongst wealthy white people as A Bad Place. Way, WAY before Fort Bragg came along & it became known as "Fayettenam."

As Fort Bragg grew, white officers & their families could choose whether to live in the working-class Black town (Fayetteville) or the tony white golf resorts (Southern Pines & Pinehurst). You'll never guess which one a lot of them picked!

The military integrated. Mostly.* People who don't live in southern Army towns don't like hearing this, but racial integration & (post-DADT) acceptance of queer military members is a huge political moderating force here. The military is super gay, idk what to tell y'all

Hello to all who're about to reply with "Oh making the military more inclusive, very woke." Oh my god you're so right. This thread is about bigotry *in military communities in the US.*" Those are interrelated problems. You can & should pay attention to both.

For the wealthier white people in the military who still insist on being bigoted fucks, integration made life really hard! And that's why they keep moving to Southern Pines. It's their safe space away from Black people & gays, I mean enlisted soldiers.

Now let's zero in on that "the military integrated, mostly*" thing. That's the most true the further down in the ranks/prestige hierarchy you go. Politically, it's not that much of a fight to integrate the cannon fodder. Er I mean infantry.

However. Units seen as elite or prestigious have a funny way of still being mostly white, even in today's "integrated" military.

Nowadays, Southern Pines is still mostly a golf community. But it's also become an enclave for the most racist & bigoted people at Fort Bragg. And that happens to include a disproportionate share of the people in elite commando units.

This feels like it should be relevant in light of the current news! I find the idea that the military is full of closeted Nazis is blown out of proportion. The Army is disproportionately made up of marginalized young people, bc they have so few other options. : /

However! For the white supremacists stationed at Fort Bragg, the odds are pretty good that they live in Southern Pines. That should absolutely be included when reporting on domestic terrorism in Southern Pines. This is EXACTLY the kind of town that fosters this behavior.

To all my fellow, “Zukka in the southern water tribe” enthusiasts

#zukka #zuko x sokka #atla #zukka fanart #I just love the idea that once Sokka and Zuko stop being pining idiots in the fire nation #they start taking regular trips to the southern water tribe together #and eventually it’s a monthly thing #and that’s where Sokka (or zuko) proposes #that concept has been in my brain forever I needed to get it out

SP 9779, Pine Bluff, AR.

A view at the Pine Bluff service track on a Locomotive Management field trip. Amtrak F40's were leased by Union Pacific RR for a short time but their small fuel tanks was a PITA as they would barely make Chicago-PBluff before running dry. This is an interesting lashup with the GP60 - F40PH - Dash9.
