Scenes from Cal Poly Humboldt

This is one university protest I haven't seen any discussion of over here yet, but since Monday students at Cal Poly Humboldt have been occupying Siemens Hall (renamed Intifada Hall) on campus, have redecorated the president's office as seen above, and are demanding that the school's leadership deescalate the situation by removing the police presence, divest from all interests connected to Israel, and publicly call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The school has announced that the campus will be closed for the remainder of the semester in response to the demonstration, and is encouraging the protesting students to surrender. As of making this post the cops have not yet raided the building.

Live(In) the Life

Check out the video for the full tour!!

Let's start off this brand new location by taking a look at the live-in quarters of this abandoned house!!

Once located in a wonderfully quiet rural area surrounded by forest and agricultural land, we find a small street with about 5 abandoned houses. The properties were bought for redevelopment and are currently being replaced with higher density housing.

One of the homes has already been demolished with another house that looks like it had burned down. There are also a few outbuildings on some of the properties along with the remains of a couple vehicles as well as a small motorcycle.

With half of the new development already completed, this area is going through a huge transformation and will never look the same!

Today we will be visiting the final of the three homes, the house was owned by a man named Bill and his wife Christine. They were married very late in life, in fact it was not until 2007 when they tied the knot and at the time, Christine was 69 years old. They both loved cats and had numerous strays make their house a second home, allowing them to come and go as they please through a pet door. They had a good 15 years together as a married couple until Christine passed away in 2022 at the age of 84 in this very house. Bill was by her side the entire time and took care of her in her final days.

Bill had a passion for working with wood dating back to his childhood. He started by selling wooden pens on the side while also working full time as a salesman for 35 years. He would also go on to make a wooden rocking horse for each of his grandchildren.

In 2010 after he had retired, Bill met a wood turner named George who introduced him to a whole new world of woodworking. He bought himself a lathe which was a Canadian Tire special and started a business selling his creations. He also dabbled in fractal burning to give his finished pieces an extra special look. He sold his work online as well as at some of the local artisan markets.

Bill would later pass away, shortly after his wife Christine.

Update: North Gaza Women's Project!

Mahmoud Abu Salama is doing an amazing thing in North Gaza! He is starting a project to help Deaf Palestinian women use their pastry making skills while also distributing food to families in need. This is helping both the women make a bit of a living and feed the hungry in the North.

By donating, we’re helping Mahmoud hire more women who take pride in helping both themselves and their communities! So please feel free to donate if you have a few dollars to spare, or spread the link if you're unable! Any little bit helps!

The Miseducation of Cameron Post is the first movie I’ve ever seen to include a character who is two-spirit. And he’s played by a real native actor!

As much as I loved Cameron herself, Adam really stole the show for me.

#seeing the miseducation of cameron post in a theater was an unparalleled emotional experience
