That went incredibly well and I am going to be in pain about it tomorrow. Setup started at noon, teardown at 9:45, and home by midnight.

Hey #Seattle, Luminata is tomorrow! Celebrate the turn of the season with a parade of lights. Opening ceremony is at 7 at the Greenlake Aqua Theater (SW side of the lake), procession begins at 7:30 and heads north to Seattle Public Theater where there will be illuminated art installations — including my own Orb Project! It's free, no tickets required, just show up and join the crowd.

I did a ton of weaving today, on the thought that catching up on that is one more way to bring things closer to Normal. I've woven through the burn, and it's driven home two things:
- I was there for a full eleven days
- The weather here took a significant turn while I was gone

So yeah of course it's a rough adjustment.

We crossed under thirteen hours of daylight a couple days ago, but I wasn't paying attention. I'm finally starting to catch up on my weaving, though.

For now, I'm just glad I'm in my own house, with my own bed and my own kitchen and my own shower, in clean pajamas, with my friends and lovers in close reach. This is home.

Home means a lot of things here. There's a huge deal about Burning Man being "home", and welcoming folks home, and it turns out that the playa itself is not my home. Critical NW is home. My UL campmates are home. Home takes a long time and a lot of security for me to really dig my roots into, and there were a few very important ways that I didn't feel safe.

But I've been circling this for twenty years. If I'd dropped in then, fresh out of college, it would have been a miserable affair, I was utterly unprepared and unskilled. Now? I've got this. It's gonna be a wild fucking ride, one way or another. And I've got the tools to deal with a lot of those ways, that I didn't have even a year ago.

Did my mood crater this hard and for this long after the burn last year? Honestly, it probably did, if only because I slammed straight into two weeks of isolation.

T minus eleven hours. I'm as packed as I'm gonna get tonight—one suitcase remains for things I'll need in the morning, two bins and a bike need to be stacked on the hitch basket last minute, but everything else is ready to go and taking up less space than I thought. I'm sure I'm missing something, of course. But I'm all but ready to go.

My untimely exit feels like a failure. I feel like I've broken a promise, like I've abandoned people who were counting on my help just as things are starting to hit their worst. I feel like it's unfair that I'd bail on new friends over things that I'd stick through for my UL crew. And I feel like a hypocrite because I kept saying I didn't trust them not to do the same. I still worry that the site lead will be left there alone to clean it all up.

Maybe I'm dwelling too much on the negatives. I did have at least one wonderful adventure each day (except yesterday, which was all working and packing), and I remembered a journal so I can go back and remind myself of those. Somewhere in my stuff is a notebook with phone numbers and other contact information. That'll turn up tomorrow as I start to climb Laundry Mountain. Hopefully following up on that will keep the positive memories more fresh.

Everyone was super sweet while I was explaining why I had to leave, but I don't know if I trust that there won't be any hard feelings. I need some space from the whole experience, but once I've had that I don't know how many of them I'll want to keep in touch with, or if I'll write this year's burn off as a failed experiment and turn my back on everything associated with it.

Wind and dust storms continued into the week of the event itself. I could have handled that, I was ready for that, but then it started raining Thursday night and continued well past noon on Friday, and I was already starting to break down. It certainly didn't help that there was some fast-acting respiratory illness going around camp, with various members in turn spending 24 hours feeling miserable.

I was the second person on site for build (not counting the build lead's friend that forgot some important meds and left within 24 hours). The first build day was brutally hot, then the winds and dust storms picked up over the next couple, while a few people trickled in each day, but we were barely keeping up building enough shade for everyone. There was no central list of who to expect when, or their space requirements. This seems like basic stuff.

I did have some incredible moments. Art on open playa remains some of the most stunning experiences I've ever had. I took a new friend to the temple to crack both of our hearts open. I got to help inaugurate the new Orgy Dome. But ultimately it wasn't worth the struggle. Turns out there is a limit to the number of mornings in a row I can wake up crying from homesickness and not do something about it, and that limit is four.

By some counts we were supposed to have almost fifty members in the camp. We ended up with 22. I don't know if that count includes the strays we took in, both trans and cis. I barely met a few of them. I don't know how many are still there for strike, or will stick it out to the bitter end—and I'm feeling immensely guilty that I couldn't.

We got things pulled together a bit more Friday afternoon, but when the new forecast called for possible thunderstorms on Sunday and Monday, and the declared plan was to break down as much as possible before then and ride it out in as small a space as possible, I broke. I worked as long as I could, then packed up my car and got out before dark.

I'm home. More specifically, I'm home three days earlier than planned. I thought I was prepared for things to be rough in a lot of ways, but the playa found new and exciting things to throw at me that I hadn't anticipated, so I ended up pulling the plug and bailing before the Man even burned. I will never camp with strangers again, and even my oldest Burner friends will have a hard time convincing me to go back next year.

I'm anxious about the drive. Let's be real, I'm anxious about a lot of things, but the drive is the next and largest one on the list. As a one way trip, this will be the longest solo drive I've done since 2008; as a round trip, the longest ever. I have to take *wildfires* into account when choosing my route. I'm in a Prius that's not strictly full to the brim, but still loaded pretty heavy. It's more daunting than I had really considered when I signed up for it.

Now I have more unpacking left than I want to contemplate, a week until my niece arrives to stay with me for the duration of her Master's program, and just over a month to get my shit together for the Big Burn. That one's particularly intimidating right now, but I actually have a camp meeting this afternoon so maybe things will be more clear.

It certainly didn't help that there was one person in particular who instantly set off a ton of my alarm bells. White cis guy in dreads, hitchhiked to playa with a single wagon of stuff, lands in our camp and immediately starts sharing drugs; some folks agree with my concerns but there doesn't seem to be a will or way to send him elsewhere before we get mudded in.

Another power cycle after another day to dry off brought it back to full functionality, though more and more of the lighting connections were getting glitchy. It'll take a pretty complete hardware respin to fix that, unfortunately. Sounds like a good thing to do over the coming winter.

... is finally uploaded to Codeberg, at least the code and the board designs. It's still marked as private because I haven't officially picked a license for it, and I guess technically the files all say All Rights Reserved so maybe that's violating the TOS, but I can never remember which licenses are which and I kinda don't want to just toss it all out there just yet.

I also got to find out just how waterproof the Orb is (or more accurately, isn't). On Thursday a thunderstorm rolled through, and we had maybe half an hour of solid rain and then sprinkles through the rest of the day and night. Several of the electronics cases had water intrusion, and who knows how many signals shorted out. A power cycle at least brought it to a clean fallback state, with pretty colors but no interaction.

I remembered to bring a journal AND a pen this time, but the one ran out of ink early in the week so the effect was basically the same as if I hadn't. As such, I've already lost most of the specific things I did over the course of the event. I remember it started cooler and quieter than previous years, so it took me a couple days to remember to bring more water than I think I need, and may have lost an early afternoon to dehydration.

My partner and I had another attempt at figuring out how to share a tent, for a longer event this time, and once again did not in any way kill each other! Fae continues to be a natural born Burner, and even came upon a playa name early in the week: Highlight. I'm impressed, bordering on envious, of how well fae makes friends and dives fully into the chaos.

Water, dinners, electricity are included. The camp is trans*/BIPOC centered but welcomes everyone.
