You should call me Miranda the way I was putting down dogs yesterday
Bachelor party request
Hi, I’m a best man for an upcoming August wedding in Humboldt county and I need to do some bachelor planning in the Arcata area, ideally. We’re in our 30s and 40s so we’re looking to have fun but nothing has to be too rowdy or fancy. None of us are from the area (only the bride is) so I’m looking for a couple recommendations. I know it’s a low key area so I’m not expecting major city options but online searching has been tough.
-daytime suggestions like hikes or white water rafting? Fun group activity for the sober fellas.
-best bars (casual is fine but not excessively divey)
-anyone know how to source dancer(s) for a private party?
Thanks a bunch! Area looks beautiful and we can’t wait to see it.
If they want us to be nice on reddit, then city-run events should start at the posted time.
Just sayin.
Humboldt bay fire works
Said started at 10 PM. Was finished by 9:50. Bummer
PLANET LAB IS A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR! Humboldt County Code Enforcement a contract with Planet Labs, a high‑resolution satellite surveillance company. This is the wrong direction. Keep America 🇺🇸 Free
Planet labs=Department of defense That alone should make us pause. Under the current administration, we have zero guarantees that new surveillance data won’t be shared, repurposed, or weaponized against vulnerable residents. Why is the planning department asking the taxpayers to pay 600,000 to lose our freedoms.
This isn’t about “catching violations.” While the B.O.S already approved this invasion of privacy with satellites, we now have the chance to rid our county of it before lose control over who uses it. Before it was a terrible invasion of privacy now it is a danger like we have never known. Defund this bullshit do not approve the contract. Call your supervisor and let them know you dont want this item approved. Planet Lab out of Humboldt
Humboldt has a long history of government overreach, opaque decision‑making, and misuse of enforcement tools. Given the fact that we are sharing this information with agencies who do not honor public will. Code Enforcement and its access to satellite imagery is not “modernization.” It’s poor judgment and a dangerous escalation. We can stop this by saying the public doesn't want to fund this. DEFUND THE SURVEILLANCE STATE.
We need to speak out. We need to tell the Board of Supervisors that Humboldt County should not be a testing ground for the surveillance state. Our community deserves transparency, accountability, and basic respect for civil liberties not high resolution orbital monitoring.
"Rather than tracking individuals, the system provides persistent, near-real-time monitoring of physical infrastructure, environmental shifts, and human activity across the globe."
Planet labs also makes the majority of its $ from the department of defense. Do we want to open our county to that?

Anyone else see the new Fab Lab opening in Eureka?
Non-religious church
I grew up in a christian church, saw some good from it but mostly had very bad experiences with it. I do, however, love the idea of having a community of peaceful like-minded, non-religeous people who could gather a few times a month, do community events and recieve free childcare for a couple hours to hangout and learn some new stuff. Also a place people can meet to volunteer and do good works.
Im playing with the idea of trying to start a local satanic temple. People get afraid of the word satan and I am a bit anxious about violent pushback from the local christian community. But I'm digging for interest levels. What do you think of the idea?
Reminder to check who you’re buying fireworks from!
Last year I accidentally purchased from a church that was homophobic and anti-choice. I would have rather supported a local school or community service. Learn from my mistakes!!

We just released a new song about people whose $60k trucks never see any work, give it a listen if you’re looking for new punk music!
Making change in the wake of Mirandas
Most of us are extremely upset about this situation and the best way we can feel better is to do something about it, to demand justice and change.
For better or worse, this happened in Humboldt. Like it or not the failure of these policies pass the buck around and our name is now attached.
The other issue that's brought up when talking about Humboldt is housing, then finding a place that allows pets.
Does anyone have any insight on how we can use the demand for the consideration of pets in Rentals.
I've always felt having a blanket No Pets policy forces people to give up their pets to Rescues, not to mention the safety, companionship or emotional regulation that people's mental health needs in these trying times.
If anyone has any insight on how to petition, advocate or progress any change for good that we can do as an outraged community, please advise.
Maybe something good can't come out of all this, but maybe its a opportunity for change. And for those of us lucky enough, hug your pets.
Raining ash
