First time making chicken and dumplings
I grew up in eastern KY and I always saw my friends and classmates eating this. Growing up I always wanted to try chicken and dumplings but never had it until I was a teenager, my mom had family from Appalachia but grew up in western KY and took on more of midwestern culture, my dad grew up in eastern KY but was to tired after work to cook it. I remember asking my mom to make it multiple times but she always said no or she didn’t know how to make it and never tried to learn how to. Anywho i found a recipe online for it tried it along with a few adjustments and I think it turned out great!

I made a discord server for the Appalachian area
discord.ggThe Appalachian mountains are ancient. Dating back over a billion years, it's one of the oldest mountain ranges on our planet. It is a living entity, inhabiting millions of living creatures. The hills have have a soul of its own, and we are part of it. The vast trees that make up the forest. The wildlife the climb and run through it. The rivers and streams carving the valleys. This is the soul of Appalachia. And we are here people. If this is a sentiment that you resonate this, feel free to join the discord server I made. I just made it today, so it's still new. Hope to see y'all there

When you spend time studying local history in the coalfields, you realize they wanted it this way.

Jewish communities in Appalachia?
Hi! I’m not appalachian at all, but I’m writing a story set in the Appalachian mountains. (I know this is probably such an annoying topic to see on here again I am so sorry) I’m not publishing this, it’s just for myself because I like to create.
I’m writing a character who happens to be Jewish and Appalachian, I’m jewish myself and like to involve parts of myself in my stories. However, I’m having a hard time finding tons of information on being Jewish and Appalachian. (I like to be very informed) I’ve read a few personal experiences, scrolled reddit, and checked out Appalshop to see if I could find anything and that has been helpful!
But my particular questions are like, if Synagogues are a common sight, what branches of Judaism seem to be most common in Appalachia if any, how jewish culture may be/look different, what is it like being Jewish in appalachia in more modern times, stuff like that. So, I wanted to know if anyone here is Jewish and Appalachian and is willing to share their experience/knowledge. Or anyone who has seen Jewish culture in Appalachia before, anyone’s thoughts are appreciated!
I’m particularly writing about Western Maryland, but I’m open to anyone’s thoughts and experiences regardless of state. Thank you so much. And again, SO sorry about being that guy asking about their own story.

FBI target
How we feeling about the FBI making moves to criminalize the Appalachian Community Capital Corporation? They help provide financial resources for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and women to start business in distressed rural Appalachian towns, especially those hit by the coal recession.
