Hello all, I've lurked here for years n years. Anyways I'm bug, she/they, late 20's. I solo rubber tramped for 4ish years. Spent most of my time working various seasonal jobs, sprinkled with farm stays, and spent a lot of time trekking through national forests. I had a couple of bad experiences and got pretty burnt out living in the desert during covid. I've recently stumbled upon such novelties as "affordable housing", "health insurance", and "access to quality mental healthcare" so I'm comfortably housed up and focused on my (cali) sobriety, health, gardening, and other cool granny things.
I'm here because irl I'm surrounded by fairly conservative, small town local office workers who talk about things like trans people not having a right to exist, complaining about our hardworking and underpaid janitors missing specks of dust, and freaking out crying and calling the cops if they see an unhoused person existing. I have a wonderful non-traveler partner but overall I'm feeling really alienated and just want to talk to people who "get it", yanno?
I like messing with words and pictures and have a webcomic inspired by southern Utah. I might make a thread to dump stories, art, ramblings, etc if that's not too obnoxious.
If anyones coming thru northernish St. Louis I got food, bud, and rides if you need 'em ✌️
