weren't you the goon whose family has land on a desirable california lake location but oh no my family has no money at all no sir i have had no privilege in life

the lake is literally poisonous (mercury year-round and cyanobacteria blooms to spice it up during the summer) and the area's economy has been in continuous decline since the 90s; the lake used to be a major tourist destination but that stopped and the resort closed. the only remaining major industry is wine and most everything that's not a winery is either trailers or has burned down. most of the streets in the county seat, Clearlake, aren't paved.



but yes, I am still comparatively privileged, and I understand most people wouldn't be able to spend the summer living with their dad even in exchange for cutting firebreaks and being afraid of fires for the entire summer and having to wear a respirator to go outside for a subset of that

doesn't change the fact that my only in-person social interaction is with my dad and I can't afford gas money to go anywhere else, a timing belt, or a bed

main saving grace is that it's pretty as hell, but you'll have to take my word for that. there's a mountain behind the wildfire smoke in this pic, which i took from the road. looking down you can see my dad's occasional neighbor's vacation home, which i fantasize about squatting in

e: re, the linking to post thing: i do that because a cool guy i follow on twitter (gravislizard) got in a habit of linking his ko-fi page after his rants about how lovely software design is and made a small amount of money off it, and because i will do anything i'm able to in order to monetize my art skills while i can't actually do my art

i drive 100 miles each way to my job, one day a week, which doesn't pay all of my bills. i'm going to be switching to full time as soon as the fire season ends; until then I'm living with my dad (doing house/yard labor for him in lieu of rent) so that I can help him pack if he needs to evacuate. all my valuable belongings, negatives, prints etc are still in a pile in the living room, having prepared them during the Mendocino Complex fire as the border of the evacuation zone crept closer and closer to the house


if you want to help me not have to beg for money so i can sleep on something other than a camping cot that's slowly becoming concave as the months go on, i can link you to my ko-fi
