So I have a sofa, a fancy leather sofa. A big, fancy leather sofa. A big, fancy, leather sofa that reclines. It is brand new, been sat upon less than 2 dozen times. No scratches, no stains, no rips, no bedbugs, no fleas, no smoke odor, no body odor, no old people odor. I need to sell it to someone who has a truck or something that can handle this 10 foot long, fancy leather reclining sofa.
Any recommendations for boot repair. Want my JK loggers resoled n don’t feel like shipping them back to Spokane for them to take 3 months to rebuild em
Hey r/humboldt!
I'm pushing through the middle stretch of a 60-day campaign to fund the publication of my book, Bees and Butterflies.
Volume 1 concludes with the end of the Luna tree-sit, capturing a deeply personal look at the environmental activism in our county during that era. Crowdfunding is entirely word-of-mouth, and getting the support of the local community to hit the goal means the world to me.
I can't post the link directly in this thread, but if you'd like to help bring this story to bookshelves, the link to the Kickstarter is in my bio, or you can shoot me a DM and I'll send it to you directly!
This is for the Lazy bastard who refuses to toss their dogs shit! You're oh so close to the garbage but for some reason, you leave the bag out here for someone else to take care of? But at least it's in a bag! The rest of you nasty ass people won't even clean up after your dogs! There are two designated "dog areas", one which has a stand that supplies FREE fucking poop bags and has a trash bin to toss them in. There's literally no excuse you can give to justify this trifling ass behavior. It's ridiculous and fucking nasty! Do better people. Stop being so damn lazy! Respect the space. Give a damn about your animal and your community, you nasty fucks!
I spotted this in the My Humboldt Life magazine that was mailed to me (in the "Best of Humboldt" classifieds). 😆
For the past eight months, I've lived in Lincoln City, Oregon. I have previously lived in Eureka (~1 year) and Brookings, Oregon (~8 months), as well as visiting and travelling on the Oregon and California coast a lot. So here are some similarities and differences:
Lincoln City is about 10,000 people, and it is a beautiful place. There are miles of beaches, and nearby forests. There are community organizations and lots of fun little shops. But it is very different between a weekend visit and trying to live here, because it is isolated, hard to get other places, and employment and services might be limited. This is really similar to the situation in Humboldt.
Natural resource economy and tourist economy cause a cultural shift. Lincoln County, Oregon, was a big timber area, had lots of fishing, and in some places farming. This has been displaced as the main economic driver by tourism. This causes a culture clash, and at times a political clash. Citizens, retirees and businesses who want to protect natural beauty for tourism might be out of synch with residents, many of them older who have been here for several generations, who are in timber or fishing. Sometimes when I'm walking down a road, I am like... "is this person going to invite me in to listen to their Grateful Dead bootlegs, or shoot me for looking at their truck wrong? Or both?" This is also a feeling I had in Humboldt a lot.
More ethnically diverse than the typical rural American community. Along with indigenous tribes, there are many recent Latino immigrants, and lots of Asians, some long-term residents, some temporary residents. It makes it a lot more ethnically diverse than typical rural communities, even in the West.
And here are some differences:
There was never, as far as I know, a cannabis production industry here. (As far as cannabis consumption goes, no difference). I do feel that things are a little less paranoid and sketchy because of that. I don't know if that is the only reason, but Lincoln City feels a little friendlier than Humboldt. (But Humboldt feels friendlier and safer than Curry or Del Norte).
Closer to a large city, so a lot of the tourism is day trippers. Portland is two hours away, as opposed to the five hours to the San Francisco Bay area. The tourism here is a bit more obvious, to: everyone likes the beach! As opposed to Humboldt, where a lot of it is people coming to see the Redwoods. So the tourism here is more families with young children, or else elderly retirees. That, together with it not being a college town, changes the demographics.
I am sure there are other things. Feel free to ask questions.
I also wonder if other people who've lived on the Oregon Coast and in Humboldt would agree about these similarities and differences.
Are the real burgers bad enough that this will attract more customers? Lost Coast Brewery once distributed local art to the world, now they shove ai slop into your eyeballs.
I just recertified my MediCal in April but I just got notification that I have to recertify my CalFresh now too. I looked it up & the state website says you only have to recertify once per year now, then do a mid-year renewal. When I called the county, they said I have to do a full recertification & that’s what my benefitscal website says too. Is this correct? I’m disabled & experience cognitive difficulties at times, plus I have a lot of uncovered medical expenses I have to submit receipts for so this is a big task for me that I need help with to make sure I do it correctly. In the past, when I’ve called the county for help to fill out the app over the phone, they’ve refused to help me with the whole thing & will only help me fill out one section. I’m completely overwhelmed & in tears because I’m already really struggling to complete with day to day tasks on my own & I think this is beyond what I can do by myself but I can’t lose my benefits because I’ll literally starve with assistance. Thank you for any info!
Looking for your current favorite seafood restaurant! I have friends coming to town and I haven't been eating out recently, what do you recommend?
Greetings, intrepid volunteers, old and new!
The Trail Stewards and Redwood Region Audubon have a new challenge, and opportunity.
On July 30, a wind-swept fire behind the Bayshore mall torched the leaves from a Himalayan blackberry thicket, burned dry grass, singed willow trees, and left behind 2 acres of black, ash-covered ground. The fire was restricted to the area between the trail and the bay, and fortunately did not impact areas where we have been working. We plan to broadcast wildflower seeds when the rains return, and in the meantime...
We hope the blackberries will be easier to pull. At the least, you can now see where the stems enter the ground, and lopping off the burned canes will be much simpler without all the leaves to deal with. We will have weed wenches available to help pull those tenacious roots out.
The big patch of willow that got singed was one of the major campsites in our area. The willows were not killed, and new growth will happen soon, but we have a chance now to clean out the area, and also expose the Himalayan blackberry and English ivy that are growing there.
On Saturday, we hope to cut down all the branches that were scorched! If you have a good pruning saw, a bow saw, or other tool that would be useful in cutting through branches up to about 3" thick, please bring it! Most of the branches are smaller than 3", and one of them broke off when I grabbed it and pulled it down!
In addition to fire-related tasks, we also have some Scotch broom and pampass grass starts in the north meadow that need to be removed.
We will also water the native shrubs that we planted in the north meadow. Hoping for rain soon!
The fennel and Queen Anne's lace (wild carrot) along the trail are flowering merrily. Removing those flower heads before they go to seed would be a step in the right direction, and is lighter work than wrenching roots from the ground.
We will provide tools, gloves, and snacks. Please bring your own drinking water.
We meet right behind Walmart at 9:00 am, and work till 11:00. Hope to see you there!
My friend had a medical episode while at Reggae and had to leave all of her items. I packed her camp for her (picture attached) and another friend was supposed to pick it up and deliver it to her. He lagged and now everything is gone.
She was camped near the River Stage.
Missing items include:
- Large canopy with her logo (packed in black zippered bag)
- Teal Osprey backpack full of clothes
- Black and yellow tote with balm, leather jacket, light up batons, and personal items
- Small Costco table
- Tommy Bahama padded chair
- Contractor bag full of blankets and pillows
- Handmade basket
- Green water container
If you know where any of these items are (especially the canopy) please let me know so I can get her things back to her! Thank you 💜💜
I’m looking for other queer/trans runners who might be interested in participating in/helping organize a pride race. Feel free to DM or reply here.
Hi all,
I just moved to Humboldt about a month ago; I have a part time job, but just got put on worker's comp for an injury and I'm really struggling to make ends meet.
I was wondering if anyone has any resources I should reach out to regarding mutual aid, rent support, and disability services.
Thanks!!
I have attended the Humboldt County Fair for many years and will always be a supporter. However the past couple years have been lackluster. This year was by far the worst I have seen it. There seems to be a lack of participation of local artisans/food trucks/etc. Humboldt has an incredible amount of artists and amazing local food. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a funnel cake, but why not local options. Why is the hall mostly out-of-towners with junk, teslas, and political groups? I thought kinetic taking over the horse races last year was a great idea. I don’t want a rodeo at the county fair. We already have rodeos and not everyone enjoys them, this is the county fair. What am I missing here?
