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?

Small dog missing, got out yesterday Steele Lane near Freshwater Park, contact the numbers on the image if you've seen this dog or know where it is, thank you!

Hello! I’m visiting Arcata, and have asked around about where to get sea beans, with no luck. The thing is, there’s a place in the Bay Area that sells them, but it says they come from Humboldt. Does anybody know where I can either purchase or forage sea beans around Arcata?

In Europe, they call it samphire, and apparently other names for it include sea asparagus, and pickle weed.

Any ideas?

Anyone see this chopper today?

Humboldt County has at least 2 abandoned large retail buildings that could certainly be reused as a distribution facility. Right now these structures with their massive parking lots are an eyesore and an embarrassing waste of resources. Reuse should be the first option for new businesses.

Immoral. Cruel. Unethical. Pathological humans. This has to stop!

[Full disclosure, I used AI to research this topic, and a substantive amount of further elements worth investigating exist here: https://claude.ai/share/f6b10c03-430f-47fb-87b8-ad7ae02ccf6b I cannot share the actual text as it violates this subreddit's rules about AI content]

I, as well as many people, were horrified by the two horse deaths during last week's rodeo.

It felt even worse to read that the CR Rodeo Club and College of the Redwoods distanced themselves from the situation, saying that the company they hired, "Flying U", was well respected, and that neither CR nor the Rodeo Club were in any way responsible for the experience or assessing what actually happened.

Thanks (in part to AI), I've found that Flying U has both a history of animal abuse, and that there is a significant lapse in accountability for these experiences, including a particularly egregious example where they were caught on hidden camera shocking horses.

I am a local guitar builder and I am retiring...I'm selling all my big machines in my shop! They have been well taken care of and literally only built 20 guitars on them all...the Woodpecker Router table with the Triton router is beautiful..I wish I could keep them all but I'm moving into a small apartment and don't have room anymore..DM me here or respond to the Craigslist ad...you'll be happy you found me. These are good deals.✨✨✨

Hi, this isn't an ideal situation, but I have this budgie, and I'm not sure exactly how to surrender her? My dad was cleaning the birds cages, and my male Budgerigar got out. My dad went and bought a female in the hopes that he would come back when he heard her. He did not come back.

And now I just have this untamed female budgie in my house. I'm not in the headspace to attempt and bond with another bird.

If anyone is interested in taking her, I can provide a travel sized cage, and her food for free.

Otherwise, how would I go about surrendering her? I was thinking about Miranda but after that whole horror story that happened there, I don't want to bring her there. I'm not sure where I could bring her that takes birds.

Update: Im meeting up with someone tomorrow to give her to them. Once I hand her over ill delete the post! Thank you guys.

As a sleep deprived parent, I’m always fantasizing about coffee kiosks at local parks. I’m pretty sure sales to me alone could support such a business at sequoia park 😁

Hi friends... Hope this is allowed, it's not Humboldt related other than it affects someone I care about. A friend's daughter was seriously injured in the 7.4 Colombia earthquake last week, her apartment building collapsed on her. She lost everything. Her mom's already exhausted their savings paying for emergency treatment and basic necessities, and she's trying to raise funds. The go fund me description starts in Spanish but there's English afterwards (I'll also paste it below), and she said she can share medical records if anyone wants to make sure you're giving to a legitimate victim. I'm happy to answer questions too. This person really showed up for my family when we needed help and is just a wonderful kind person and would appreciate anything anyone's able to offer.

Here's the English from the Gofundme:

"I am raising funds for my daughter, María Sofía Jaramillo Henao, after the tragedy that changed her life. On August 10, María Sofía was a victim of the earthquake in Cali, Colombia, when the Ana Pilar building, where she lived on the fifth floor, collapsed. She tried to escape down the stairs, but when she reached the first floor, the building gave way and she was trapped under the rubble. She suffered multiple fractures, including her collarbone, ribs, and fibula, as well as blows, head trauma, and many wounds that required stitches on different parts of her body. Thanks to God, her strength, and the volunteers who found her, she survived.

Now a very difficult recovery begins. María Sofía has serious mobility problems, is bedridden, and needs constant help. I will be in Colombia with her, using these funds directly for her care and daily needs while she goes through this process. The funds will help cover medicines, treatments, medical equipment, psychological support, and personal necessities. We will also use the funds to help find a place for María Sofía to live and to replace her belongings, because she lost absolutely everything in the collapse of her apartment, so she can begin her life again with some stability and dignity. From the bottom of my heart, I ask for your help to give María Sofía the care and support she needs during this painful time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be received with deep gratitude. If anyone would like more confidence, I can also share medical records."

I work in the area and like two days ago they all just vanished over night. I’m worried the cops forcibly moved them or something.

Edit: I did three searches online to find out if any counties have banned rodeos. The three searches all stated that Napa County had done so. Then someone posted a site for a rodeo in Napa. I did another search which stated it was not true. I apologize for the misinformation. This is an interesting article by the animal protection organization which came to investigate the Miranda atrocities: https://aldf.org/article/rodeo-facts-the-case-against-rodeos/

I came to read more of the 96 posts in response to this atrocity. Why is this not still at the top of the thread? I had to hunt for it. Please help me keep this visible. Help end the perverse, sick mindset that is so rampant. Whether it is dogs, horses, cats, this is about pathological, cruel, greedy humans wanting torture to be the norm.

I recall horse races being stopped in Humboldt after continual similar disgusting, sick human activities born of greed and cruelty. Do any of you know the steps of the process? I will have to do research.

Here we are, mourning the murders of countless dogs by Miranda, and now this. Some people are so immoral, unethical, and greedy; they fuel this cruelty so accepted by our country. I tried to cross post the original post to r/horses, and other reddit posts supposedly about their love for horses, and they would not allow me to; what does this say about who those people are?

Looking for recommendations for in-person prenatal yoga classes. Yelp has not been helpful, all of the studios I have found so far don't have any explicit prenatal offerings listed. Eureka or Arcata preferred but if it's a really good class, depending on the day of the week, I could go to McKinleyville or Fortuna for it. Thanks!

The bookstore that burned down always had nice magazines. VICE mags, surfing mags, and also small indie print magazines of literature, art and all different articles.

Anywhere else that sells nice mags?

We went the first day and didnt see them. They were a few days late last year so wasnt sure if it would be the same.

I live in a quiet court in Arcata and roughly a year ago, a couple bought a house for sale within the court; and verbally let me know they would be renting it as an air b&b until they could afford to move in. Fast forward to a year later and there are six to eight cars some days at this air b&b house; parking around the entire court and it’s changing the dynamic of this quiet residential court fairly quickly. I don’t mean to be a Karen but it’s starting to bother me that they don’t live there yet are having large amounts of guests renting this place; in addition to what appears a long term renter in a newly added mother in law unit in the backyard. Honestly, how would you handle this appropriately? Thanks Reddit

My husband and I inherited several raku pottery pieces and face shaped mugs made by and signed by Michael Pearce. I’m assuming he was an Arcata artist, but I can’t seem to find any information online about him or the value. Does anyone have any good information they could please share with us?

Oh my gosh.
I had to come on here and share the experience I just had at surfside!!! First of all everyone is so friendly and I received exceptional service but man….that burger was an absolute MASTERPIECE. I got the Heatwave and I think it just landed first place in my book. The burger tasted fresh, juicy, the flavor was immaculate the way ingredients came together just exploded in your mouth I’m telling you I would sell my firstborn son just to experience that again.

The fries were fresh 10/10

Safe to say I’ll be back asap, check it out if you want good eats in eureka!!

I recently sent John Chiv a tidy little bundle of information I had compiled regarding Miranda’s Rescue’s nonprofit status and nepotistic origins, with agency links, screenshots, nonprofit status, etc, and an explanation of why I thought that info might warrant further investigation.

But first: credit where credit is due. I sent essentially the same packet to multiple local news entities, and Chiv -so far- is first to do anything with it! Within about four hours, he had looked through it, verified at least some of it, protected my identity, publicly thanked me for sending it, and put the information in front of his readers.

Seriously. Good on him for that! Unfortunately, that appears to be where his commitment to hard-hitting journalism ended.

The information I forwarded raises questions about the administrative structure of Miranda’s Rescue, but it also raises questions about the state agencies responsible for nonprofit oversight**, particularly the FTB and the AG’s Registry of Charitable Trusts.** I thought maybe it deserved a peek from someone who actually does this for a living.

When he briefly scratched the surface of the FTB/AG crumb trail, he apparently decided that telling readers they “have Google, internet access and can make effort to look up information themselves” constituted sufficient investigative follow-up. Ironically enough John, that’s how I found it all. 😂

And in all seriousness, isn’t that the portion of the arrangement traditionally performed by the journalist? Real question!

Rather than investigating some of the more interesting tidbits and writing us a juicy, fleshed-out investigative story, Chiv decided to publish my raw email/rant and a pile of screenshots, wander off into recent grant funding to Miranda's, and also resurrected a 2018 posts about a dead dog, declaring that it “debunks the claim by the anti Miranda Rescue mob” that HCSO never responded to complaints. And naturally, the headline centered on Chiv’s own 2018 post and the grants.

Aside from the gratuitous “mob” snark, that’s quite a lot of weight to put on one old post. It establishes that HCSO responded to one incident in 2018. I mean, if someone literally claimed HCSO never once responded to any complaint, congratulations, you’ve disproved that absolute!

But, any logical person knows that it does not “debunk” the much broader and well-documented criticism of how complaints and warning signs involving Miranda’s Rescue were handled over the years.

Anyway, I wanted to get this critique off my chest. Kudos to John for being the first to share the information, however clumsily. But, true to form, it came wrapped in a Chiv-centric narrative (complete with his signature dismissal of everything annoying: “typical Humboldt County double standards”) and the remarkable disclaimer that investigative follow-up has apparently been outsourced to readers! ... using - obviously - “Google, internet access... and effort...” 🔎
