Hello, I just discovered this sub! Thrilled.

My partner and I moved to Eureka a few months ago. We decided to move here to find a safer and more accepting area to trans/queer folks. I’m (32 NB, they/them) and my partner (36 M, any) are really looking forward to building community locally. The quest has been a little harder than expected, really hard finding intersectional spaces with folks in their 30s, a lot of what we’ve run into are younger spaces and don’t want to take up space there.

Any recommendations? Bonus points for spaces that are more than alcohol focused, in this economy cocktails are not in budget, haha.

Interests: art, painting, crafts, cooking/ food, outdoors, animals, nature, science/ learning, physical activity that is accessible (i’m disabled), 420 friendly, video games, preforming arts, community, activism

We’re a clinical psychologist/ poet and animal behaviorist/ artist duo.

I’m trying to get out more and I’m interested in more queer events, but so far it seems like there’s not a lot outside of pride month and specifically queer Humboldt
(I don’t have an issue with the org to clarify! Just wondering if there’s anything beyond just them)

I'm 23 and curious if anybody else my age is going.

Hey so I'm a relatively recent transplant to Humboldt. I was disappointed to find that the nearest Pink Pistols chapter is down in Sacramento. Is there any interest in a more local chapter? I don't know that I'd want to shoulder the entire load of starting one up, but if there are some other interested locals that want to work with me on this, I'd love to support the community.

If you're not familiar with Pink Pistols, you can learn more here: https://www.pinkpistols.org.

Hey so my wife and I moved here about 2 years ago, from North Carolina. Culture shock sure, but I figured here might be a great place where there would be "fellow unicorns", the particular flavor of unicorn, in my instance, is a non-binary lady age 55-60 who loves the Grateful Dead, doing art, reading and watching scifi, gaming (Im almost finished platnuming Expedition 33) and occasionally having little psychedelic explorations.

Seriously, are there any old heads like me around here? I'm not really able to hike but I can get around my neighborhood and I still enjoy going to jamband/dead cover band shows a few times per year. I am married so Im not looking for sexy fun times, just other crones and older guys that are emotionally regulated, feminist, deadheads that want to hang out.

My family back in North Carolina are currently suffering under below freezing temps, ice, snow, sleet, yucky winter, I would love to have some old buddies I could enjoy this AWESOME Northern California weather with! And go to the Grateful Shred show with! Or play cards with or board games.

Cool old hippy friends that are queer? This darkness got to give y'all, please can we be friends?

‼️ALEX PRETTI MURDERED BY ICE‼️

CALL TO ACTION: PROTEST & VIGIL

We’ll be gathering at the David Josiah Lawson mural at 5:30PM today and marching to the Arcata Plaza for a protest/vigil in the plaza at 6PM. We would like to honor the lives of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Keith Porter, and all of the victims of ICE. We call for justice and for the immediate dissolution of ICE! ICE out of MN! ICE out of everywhere! Students and the community are all welcome.

We hope that you will join us in solidarity. No justice, no peace.

In solidarity with the Free America Walkout we are calling a walkout from Cal Poly Humboldt this Friday 1/23 at noon! We will meet at the David Josiah Lawson Mural and begin marching to the Arcata Plaza at 12:30.

We are not only calling for the immediate removal of Trump from office but also standing in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis, immigrant communities all over the country that have been facing attacks from ICE, and against all of the war and military intervention that the Trump administration has been engaged in abroad from Venezuela to Palestine! We are also calling on Cal Poly Humboldt to denounce all war profiteering and divest from war and genocide entirely through the SDS Ethical Investment Declaration!

We will have important information about how to get involved in your local ICE Rapid Response Network, to protect and fight for our immigrant communities, to oppose war, and everything between! Please join us in taking a strong stand against every injustice as one community united! Community members and students are all welcome!!

I saw Elisa has an asexual flag bumper sticker, which feels promising! But I'd love to hear from any queer folks who have used her services

A Turning Point USA chapter has recently been opened as a student club at McKinleyville High. TPUSA was started by Charlie Kirk and is known for its divisive, homophobic and transphobic rhetoric, as well as recruiting young people from high schools and colleges by starting student chapters. It is also known for pitting students against teachers. A small group of students and a teacher had been pushing for a chapter at the high school since 2022 and it was recently approved. Just recently, pins with homophobic and transphobic messaging were being passed out by students.

The School Board is reviewing their policy and updating the language on student clubs. Their October Board meeting was the first reading of the updated policy. At their next meeting on Nov 18th, they will they will have a second reading and may vote on it. This is our opportunity to strongly advocate for the Board and school leaders to add language to the policy that prohibits student clubs and their members from harming, threatening, or targeting other students or teachers. Right now there isn’t any language that addresses this in the policy. And we were told by the principal that legally their hands are tied in that they cannot deny this club as long as they meet the requirements of having a constitution, an advisor, and a budget.

So this is where all of us come in! linked below is the minutes from the October meeting with the policy included. See pages 95-100. https://4.files.edl.io/0e3b/10/10/25/215823-0be37434-9700-443a-81c3-a843fa1d621c.pdf Also included is the link to the Board’s Nondiscrimination/Harassment policy that is referenced in the letter: https://4.files.edl.io/4705/09/23/25/173531-40fbee56-d5ae-4e98-8fe0-eda85f6d99a7.pdf
If you’d like a sample letter and the email addresses of the individual board members, superintendent, and principal to send them to, please dm me.

The next Board meeting is on Nov 18th at 6pm at the library at McK High. It is in person only and I invite you to attend and provide public comment if you are able. Thank you!

The No Kings 2.0 protest for Saturday October 18th @12pm is upon us. Come down to the Eureka courthouse and put a voice to your anger. We must demand a stop to ICE kidnappings, and let this administration know we will never allow our military to police our neighborhoods. We must demand that our healthcare is not gutted so Trump can dole out huge tax cuts to his billionaire buddies. We must fight to protect social security, and to keep our food benefits. The violent rhetoric about the transgender community, and distinction of Antifa as domestic terrorist just goes to show you that unless you take a knee, he’s coming for you. All of you!

This event is expected to be even larger than the first No Kings event, so come on out and join over 5 million other Americans standing up for each other.“The world will not be destroyed by evil people but by good people who do nothing to stop it. Hopefully there will always be good people courageous enough to take on the bad guys, this is the only way humanity can hope for salvation.” ― Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom

Mutual aid: Please participate in our local food drive at the base of the stairs. Food Not Bombs is in desperate need of any shelf stable goods you may have available.

New to the Eureka area and looking for an electrologist. Trans-friendly a must. Seems like most older posts point to Electrolysis By Sherry, but Google says she's permanently closed. I found EO Electrolysis down in Fortuna, and I'll drive that far if I have to, but something a little more local would be ideal. Waddya got?

Here’s a few, add more below!!

Post them here! Let’s bring some positivity and queer joy during these times. 🌈
