beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Ms. Que Banh<p>I'll post some belated stuff today; my last full day off before returning to work tomorrow.<br />One of my search & rescue friends took me away for an off grid day hiking adventure yesterday & we got home last night.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Carmanah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Carmanah</span></a> Point <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LightStation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LightStation</span></a> was established in 1891. The first <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lighthouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>lighthouse</span></a> there was built of wood & attached to the keeper's housing. The present tower was built in 1920 of concrete & remains in operation. The area is said to be named for the upstream <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Nitinaht" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nitinaht</span></a> village. It is said the name means "thus far upstream".</p><p>In Summer 2024, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Canadian" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Canadian</span></a> Fisheries & Oceans along with the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CoastGuard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CoastGuard</span></a> announced that the light station was seismically unstable & would be destaffed before the end of the year. On Oct. 25, lightkeepers were removed from the station. The decision to destaff the station has been met with heavy criticism from various local authorities, including local governments, indigenous leadership & industry leaders.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VancouverIsland</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VanIsle</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Mariners" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mariners</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Nautical" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nautical</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/EmergencyLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EmergencyLight</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BoatersSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BoatersSafety</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MarineSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MarineSafety</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/JuanDeFucaTrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JuanDeFucaTrail</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Westcoast" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Westcoast</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PacificNorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PacificNorthwest</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CowichanValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CowichanValley</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Cascadia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/monochrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>monochrome</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PNW</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BChistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BChistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WildernessSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WildernessSafety</span></a></p>
