This is an old video I uploaded to JoshiesWorld’s YouTube channel about a decade ago of the infamous Dingess Tunnel, which I visited and recorded. I never posted it on other social media platforms (crossposting), so I am doing that now to make sure as much of my content as possible is accessible everywhere for anyone to read, watch, or view. This video was taken at one of the infamous tunnels in Mingo County, West Virginia, called The Dingess Tunnel. This tunnel has a notorious history, particularly during the mine wars era. Here is the video I took when my mother and I visited the Dingess Tunnel, and I have added some brief histories and stories about the Dingess Tunnel below the video. Be sure to click on the video below to play it. The Dingess Tunnel is best known for its mile-long one-way tunnel, which serves as the town’s main gateway. The Dingess Tunnel was originally built in 1892 for the Norfolk and Western Railway, and in 1913 it was converted for vehicular traffic. The Dingess Tunnel has a rich history, as it served the Twelve Pole Line of the Norfolk and Western Railway between Lenore and Dingess in West Virginia. Some people would go through the tunnel to rob people in the tunnel, at both ends of the…
JoshiesWorld celebrates this milestone with each of you. Today, July 4, 2026, marks the 250th birthday of the United States of America, which declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. We only get to celebrate a 250th birthday once, and I hope that fifty years from now, we’re still around to celebrate the 300th together. But even though America is an independent country, there is no true freedom here until everyone — regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, age, disability, or class — is free from their oppressors. As long as any oppression exists, freedom can’t. No one is free until we are all free. The Declaration of Independence says “all men are created equal,” and the Constitution opens with “We the People.” That means all of us. This country isn’t mine, and it isn’t yours. It belongs to everyone, and it’s a home to everyone, including the Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) community. America was built by our ancestors’ hands, immigrants included, and now it’s our hands that keep building it for future generations, for better or worse. The Founding Fathers aimed to form a union in which we, the people, would have justice and liberty. As long as we stay united, our democracy endures, and we, as Americans, have a duty to…
Here we are with another Mix article! I have been adding more topics that I would like to write about for an article, so here I am to write a new Mix article. I usually have a bit of difficulty thinking of something new to write about because I feel I have exhausted so much that there is nothing new for me to write about. Still, lately I have started thinking about or coming across some things I would like to write about more and more. For some reason, it seems my brain has become more active, which has led me to come up with something I would like to write about. I am starting to get a little more motivated to write some articles or reviews now, so who knows if I end up writing more than usual in the next few months. Even though I am starting to think of more things to write about, I would greatly appreciate it if some of you could continue to pass along information to me or suggest a topic for the next Mix article or a separate/single article. Mix 06-12-2026 So, here is the list of the topics for this Mix article, and I hope that at least one of them or more topics that you would enjoy reading! Plus, they…

I have decided to start drafting the new Mix article. There are a few topics I would like to address. I hope there are at least a few topics you might be interested in reading about in this new Mix article. Here is the list of topics that will be mentioned. I have no idea when I will publish this Mix article, and I also don’t know how many topics it will end up including, because I sometimes add a few more after I’ve already saved the topics I had planned for the Mix article or a separate article. If you prefer to read only a few topics you may be interested in instead of the entire article, you can do that by clicking the topic you want to read, and it will take you directly to that topic. Or if you don’t have enough time to read the entire article, you can come back to this article at a later time, and press/click the topic where you stopped so that you can resume reading this Mix article. Mix 02-19-2026 Topics List. Let’s start with me first! Lately, I am doing a-okay. Not too long ago, I went to my semiannual check-up (every half a year), and I was honestly dreading it because I knew I was overdue for a…
This is the owner of JoshiesWorld, Joshua “Joshie” Sullivan, and I want to personally wish every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays, such as Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and others I may have forgotten to mention! As for Hanukkah, I am somewhat late, as it is celebrated from December 14 to 22. But I still want to recognize that, as other holidays besides Christmas and New Year are important as well. Some know what these holidays are, where they come from, and how they are celebrated. The celebration of Christmas started in Rome around 336, but it was not a major Christian festival until the 19th century, which began on January 1 in 1801 and ended on December 31 in 1900. The original reason for Christmas was to celebrate Jesus Christ’s birthday on December 25, a tradition established by Pope Julius I, combining religious observances with influences from winter solstice festivals such as Yule and Saturnalia. As for Hanukkah, it is a holiday for the Jewish people, the word Hanukkah means dedication due to purifying the Temple after the Jewish resistance against the Greek occuptation by Seleucid Empire after they outlawed the Jewish practices and defiled their Temple in 168 B.C.E. Hanukkah holiday also marks Jewish resists having their culture destroyed, and the fight…
