So I'm real tired of Humboldt county, but honestly I have no idea where else to go or what else to do with my life. I've got ideas about what I'd like to do in the future. I'm applying to do a work/study internship with Herb Pharm-- it's a worktrade for an intensive herbalist education. If I get in that would happen in the Spring, and then after that I could find a job working for an herbalist somewhere. But in the mean time, I just feel... stuck.The other day I was in Garberville and I met u... Read Full Story

SEND SUBMISSIONS TO: anarchoqueer@gmail.comAND PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!As Radical Queers, we are in a constant war against the HRC. Our frustrations run much deeper than ENDA or any other single issue. However, I have often found myself unable to substantiate my frustrations when talking with more mainstream "LGBT" folks. So, me and a friend are planning to compile and edit a zine on why we hate the HRC. We are looking for more radical perspectives written in a language that would be accessible... Read Full Story

So I've had a tonsil infection for the last week or so. I'm hoping it's finally starting to get better. I suppose this is what I get for getting shitfaced and making out with a shit-ton of people @ ida. You know, I have a habit of getting tonsil infections when I travel. I really need to stop doing that. I went to the emergency room and the doctors told me it was viral and there's nothing they can do about it. I'm not sure I believe them. I think I'm getting better, though. We'll see.Anyway, ... Read Full Story

So I'm at Ida, helping set up for Idapalooza. I've been here for almost a week. Got a ride here with a bunch of people coming from Bash Back!. My first couple days here I had to withdraw away from everybody. There was so much shit that happened at Bash Back! and so little time to process. There was a whole shit-storm over this "action" that happened, with a whole bunch of holier-than-thou self-righteous macho anarchists and shit. Almost got arrested.Anyway, this is my first ...

Okay it's time for me to write another blog entry. But what to write about?Let's see... what's on my mind...I left the farm. Spent the weekend with my family, which was... intense. Got to see my brother's play, which was awesome. I got back into the bay today (tuesday.) It was funny to think that it had only been a weekend that I spent with my mom in Palo Alto. It felt like weeks had gone by.Anyway, tomorrow I head off for Denver. I'm really excited. Like, really really re... Read Full Story

WOW, I'm on a dial-up connection. I can't remember the last time I've been on such a slow internet connection, lol.So I am working on a farm in California. This is my first job I've been able to find since... way too long. I'm not out as trans here, and people have been calling me 'he'. It's really frustrating. I keep wanting to come out but I... don't. I just don't know how it would go over. Maybe I can just pass for the next month or so while I'm ... Read Full Story

So I've been in San Francisco for the past week. I thought I'd just stop by here for a bit, but I've been here for a week, trying to find a ride out. I'm going to go work on a farm tomorrow. I finally gave up on trying to find a rideshare since nobody's going the direction I'm going. Anyway, I've been staying at my friend's place for about a week, which is awesome. I think a week is just about the right amount of time to stay in a place when you don't reall... Read Full Story

You don't see a lot of Greek people with blond hair and blue eyes. When I go to Greece, people always ask me if I'm German, or Sweedish, or Dutch, or... I once even had someone just walk up to me and start speaking German. I tend to surprise people when I walk into a shop and start ordering things in Greek. The interaction is usually pretty humorous. It goes something like this (in Greek.)Them: "Why do you speak Greek?" Me: "Because I'm half Greek."Them: "... Read Full Story

so i watched this documentary a while back, called Flow, about the privatization of water. it was a pretty incredible documentary, and i'd recommend it to anyone. after watching that i said i will never drink bottled water again. water is, obviously, extremely important. so much so that those of us privileged enough to have secure access to drinkable water can easily take it for granted. it's just that obvious. the water is more important that oil. you can't drink oil. you can'...
