Populism

Good country folk historically hate big business, cops, authority of any kind, and rich folks. What happened? Nothing, really.

American Farm Bureau Speech

Thoughts after Trump’s American Farm Bureau Conference speech. Short and sweet? It was lame.

In Defense of Poor Folk!

Stop acting like the Deep South is a monolith. Start acting like liberals.

Trumplandia!

Loving the South while hating some of it including the racism that I wish would go die in a hole.

I’m Rachel, a jaded twenty-something English grad student looking to tell some stories. Currently based in Knoxville, Tennessee, born and bred in rural Alabama. Here you’ll find liberal political tirades, stories, book reviews, and folklore focused in on these lower Southeastern thirteen states.

The title “Snake and Tree” comes from the Alabama proverb that if you hang a dead snake in a tree it’ll bring rain. These stories are the snake. The rain is making peace with this broke South.
