@Edelwood I would absolutely move back to Humboldt if it wasn't for the 1. economy and 2. people. also I do like getting occasional snow up here. but the redwoods have a physical *presence* that just... it fills my chest, even thinking about it now. <33333
@Edelwood !!! <333 there's a new restaurant just off the Plaza (well, right next to the Arcata Theater) called Renata's, they make crepes and serve mochas in actual soup bowls with no handles that have *scoops* of thick cream floating in them like an ice cream coffee float. I ate there once and I want to scoop the whole place up and move it to Seattle. there were a couple of other places we went that were also *so good* and so inexpensive and I miss it so much ;____;
@anthracite yeah... visiting family in Humboldt for Xmas, driving down 101 from the Washington border where it's two lanes (sometimes just *one* lane) and two feet of margin between you and a twenty-foot dive into the ocean... we went to Agate Beach (the one up at Patrick's Point State Park) and walked down and just... walked, and stared at the ocean, and interacted with it.
and the redwoods... I miss them *so much*. other pine trees somehow just aren't the same.
@anthracite @Edelwood I basically love everything about this
dream
@Leucrotta sooo yeah incoherent, strange, disjointed, and not really that interesting. XD
dream
@Leucrotta so I followed the directions as best I could, but there were a lot of hallways and stairs and it was all very confusing and I think I got lost, and the whole time I kept thinking "I'm moving, I have a bunch of stuff in storage, I don't need MORE STUFF." finally I think I gave up and tried to get back to my hotel room, but I was being followed by some kind of dog-thing, and protected by a different dog-thing, and had to walk on little ledges on the hotel hall walls for a while.
dream
@Leucrotta and then I went to a second-hand store, and somebody had just brought in their collection of miniature dragon statue/sculpture things, which were tiny and amazing and I wanted most of them, so I set them aside to get later? and then went back to my room, but when I came back to get the dragon-stuff I couldn't find the shop. I wandered all over the shopping area, poking into little shops, until I asked a shopkeeper about the store and he gave me directions back to it.
@Leucrotta *pfff* where do I even start...
I was moving? or on a trip? and had a bunch of stuff in storage at a *huge* hotel/tourist trap place, like multiple levels going down a hillside with *multiple* shopping areas huge, so big that the fastest way to get between the levels was to hang glide. also there may have been a convention happening there, but it was pretty small and badly organized so it was hard to tell. I think I was trying to find a semi-permanent place to put my stuff?
Toots not being searchable was actively requested as an anti-harassment tool.
Full-text search allows bad actors to search on words representing viewpoints they don't like (for example, "Quran" or "abortion") and attack the people using them.
I mention this to provide context, not as a defense of the idea.
