I’m not quite there yet.
The shed is stuck in Georgia. But I made excellent progress getting most of my stuff into a storage unit, and the move will resume when the shed arrives. I was very much so chomping at the bit to get out of here. I didn’t want to have to go to court, but instead be…

Moving Day
This is a short one. But I wanted to let people following know that I made my goal! I am MOVING! All day I’m packing and crying and organizing and freaking out about tomorrow when I’m off. And that is truly all I have time to say right now, except thank you to all those…

Being Social without Social Media
I released a huge pang of relief the day I uninstalled Instagram (a month and a half at the time of writing) from my phone. For the unversed (which is no one in this day and age), by social media, I mean Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat (which I’ve never used), and the like. But isn’t YouTube…

The war against the homeless. The actual, physical war.
I haven’t talked yet about LA or what is about to happen in DC. I don’t even know how to talk about it. Because we all know from experience that it won’t be the attack on the homeless that stirs the US to its own defense. It’s horrifying. And I can barely look at it.…

The final countdown: 4 Days until LIFE AS I KNOW IT CHANGES FOREVER!
Holy shit, this is really happening. If you would like to know what it takes to manifest your dream, it takes decades of optimistic thrusting at the world, decades of diligent practice of your skills, having every notion you’ve ever had be perverted by everyone, and then shat upon officially as law, the dissolution of…

Relatable Moving Nightmare
I live in a town full of trucks. It’s the kind of place where you need a truck, and if you don’t have a truck, you are a little bit fucked. It’s a whole county full of Ron Swansons. Everything is DIY. A truck is standard. So why is it I’ve just called two “we…

Finland knows what’s up: Permanent housing first.
I love it when I’m right:) Permanent homes FIRST is the only way to combat homelessness. Making people live in dangerous, untenable temporary housing based on arbitrarily determined “merits” and obedience is a failure. Giving people homes makes a happy, healthy productive society. Finland does this: 80% of people who are given housing are able…

Achievement unlocked! Walls and a toilet!
BOY, AM I FUCKING RELIEVED. I’ve got the shed, and I have a bucket toilet that boasts a seat that “feels like real leather.” An axe. A toolkit. A bear horn. Check, check, check. I feel safer by the minute. Top priorities now are a motor for the bike, and fencing. And 55 gallon barrels…
