Yeah, there's a lot of different seemingly contradictory views & things bumping & grinding around here in the ideosphere.

Wondering if this resonates with others on here. There's this "safe space" bug that has bitten so many of the leftist / liberal enclaves where I hang out, & I'm sorry to be a party crasher here, but I've really had a lot of problems with it. See "The Broken Teapot" which the Anarchist Library...

Up with #nanalityandturpitude ? Did they mean banality? Or is "nanal" an adjective that has fallen by the wayside?

THIS IS A LENGTHY POST AND I'M GOING TO KEEP ADDING TO IT AT INTERVALS UNTIL IT'S DONE Others can & should share their answers at any time I guess this should be moved to either the Squatting or Alternative Housing forums if it makes the cut __________________ In SF between 2011 and 2015 I had...

A friend of mine, knowing my squatting tendencies, and the fact that I once said, "I wish I could live in a museum... when I was a child in Minnesota I would visit the natural history museums with reconstructed dinosaurs skeletons and stuff and wish I could hide there when it was closing time...

I was sort of permission squatting a beautiful 1948 Chris Craft motorboat in Northern California recently, until the local sheriff came and towed most of the boats away from our boat yard, designating them "marine debris." I joked to a friend, "I have been classified as marine debris by the...

There is another thread on StP right now about a new Esquire magazine article on a California ghost town that's for sale. Cerrito Gordo. The Fat Little Hill.

Yeah, to be fair, sometimes cops are just responding to calls made by overly suspicious citizens, so the stupidity is sometimes not their fault so much as "the neighborhood watch." Homelessness is viewed as a crime practically in & of itself in a lot of places, these days.

The cops came to the place I've been staying recently asking after a friend of mine who has a warrant for non-violent behavior. (Unless you count spitting beer on a cop car from a pedestrian overpass to be violence... I'd say it's more like community service!) They mispronounced his Irish name...

Thanks! I have sugarplums dancing in my head, too.

If I was visiting my home state of MN, I would gladly RSVP to attend! I hope your Pride pot luck goes off with flying colors.

CHEETA JOURNAL Sunday May 20th, 2018 Just now on my way back from visiting Stinson Beach & BOlinas (wh0A!!!) for the first time, I met a fine young hobo, from Delaware, outside the Mill Valley Safeway. He told me about someone calling the police on him for drinking beer & having a large...

Wow, this weekend while down-low camping in West Marin County, CA, I saw a red fox, the most vulpine of animals (Latin name vulpes vulpes), for the first time... felt blessed by nature to see that! And felt blessed by the universe to have finally discovered Bolinas. But I won't talk about it.

Bolinas. (Pauses, sighs.)

So if it's poisonous to eat, what is it sold for? Dye?

Good question! I had no interest in squatting at the time I left Minnesota at the age of 12 so I'm clueless, so I'll look into it. But regardless, if there's no one in town, that presumably means no police too, so... how much does it matter? The epidemic of empty Midwestern towns helps clear up...

A friend of mine recently came back from traveling all over the Midwestern USA on an extended road trip, & reported to me that there are TONS of abandoned towns there. "Town after town after town... completely empty," she told me. So, having been born in Minnesota, I know how inhospitable the...

Ferns remind me of centipedes. Isn't that weird?

Ha ha ha .... another dirty ass queer is fine with me.

Here lemme post image JPEGS of the two page document

The artist colony where I'm landed right now is having art parties this weekend & next, as part of Marin Open Studios, & I've been invited by one of the 275 local artists to participate, so I cobbled together a few paintings / artworks & put together this little 2-page "Cheeta Post" to hand out...

Thank you for clearing up that mystery! Please do post about it after you visit. Photos would be delightful....

Crazily & unbelievably AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm getting a camera phone again.

An art friend of mine in Portland, OR told me about it years ago... I wish to gosh I'd paid more attention when she was telling me where it was!

Can you take a PayPal payment for a copy? Otherwise I've got to transfer it to my bank account first. Let me know 'cause I will buy one.

Hello squatters & misfit travelers, my name is Cheeta (that's not the name the housies get, but it's the name that you get!). I've been semi-lurking & occasionally posting on this forum for a while, minus a proper introduction. I finally thought of a good one. So, a couple years ago I was...

This may seem a rather random & unresponsive post; if so, I apologize. I just got back from hiking & I'm too tired to write it a proper introduction. And unfortunately I had no camera, so instead of pictures, you get a thousand or so words... REFLECTIONS ON HIKING AROUND MOUNT TAM FROM A FORMER...

At last after ten grueling years, I kicked my Facebook habit to the curb like a deceased & unwanted cockroach. I instagram once in a bit, though... hey, who are you calling Gen X?? :-)

Me too, squattin SF to the bitter end, 2011 to 2015! Never will forget those damned hills & the nights in not-so-white satin I found there...

I'm having so much fun reading this post, thank you! I feel like I'm on the train with you. This STP thread is, in a way, my first trainhopping experience.

The Long Haul is great, I love the double loft where the Slingshot meetings happen. When was the Long Haul founded?

Watsup bra

"It was the first squat I ever stayed in, not counting one vaguely-remembered night at a place called The Animal House in Seattle in the distant and drunken past; and it opened a door to a radical new world, germinating a wild garden of hitherto unknown possibilities in the vivid soil of my...

I am writing a short story based on my first squatting experience in the Bay Area. Here is the first half: The Firehouse By Tony Nightwalker LeTigre _________________________________________ 1. It was the first squat I ever stayed in, and opened a door to a new world, like a taste of...

I would write to eastbayhnj@riseup.net to find out, or check out the most recent issue of SlingShot, which may have info http://slingshot.tao.ca/

And in Portland, Oregon, this is happening a few nights from now @ the fabulous Clinton Street Theater (where I've gotta catch Rocky Horror one of these nights soon). I will be away at the radical faerie gathering

Suggestions, from the Fbook page for the HnJ film night:

I woke in a cold horror at 530 am this morning realizing I'd posted a horrible analogy about the Alamo on here that would probably cause me to lose the few friends I've made who consider themselves anarchists. I should delete it! I'm going to blame it on the fact I was stoned yesterday. In my...

Is that the full doc on Hellari-T or just part of it? I love it. Especially what the say about the way animals would come in & crash on the couch just like people!

Hey, letcha know, in case ya didn't: HnJ film night TOMORROW 21 April 2016 7p to 10 p @ Omni Commons\ I been there once, to the Omni. It's fabulous. Really a dream of a place. May it last eternally. Let it be our Alamo, if it comes to that!

And since I'm so late in posting this, there's already been an update, from the same friend, pertaining to the same cases, which I post as follows: Hi again friends, family and comrades, Just a little update on my court situation with Land Action. Myself and three fellow housing rights...

A friend who is involved in these actions sent me this message which I've been asked to share concerning new court dates coming up in just a few days. The friend who sent me this notice is also involved in Gill Tract defenses, but this pertains to a squatting (adverse possession) incident. So...

This video was fun to make!

I like the Portuguese (I'm guessing) subtitles?

StP jamboree? I like the sound of that. I read that some of the LA punks were wary of Spheeris at first, though. "She was an outsider to the scene." I wanna see 'em, though.

I actually want to see them now. At the Long Haul, this fall?

Thank you ! ! ! I deleted the first StP reference that didn't make sense (from when I first submitted this piece to the Slingshot)

Nice. I'm moving back to the east bay in October, I think. I may be someone's madman in the attic, at an affordable rate, for 6 months. Unless something incredible happens during my road-on-trip-on-foot into Washington state. Which I expect it will.
