"OAKLAND GHOSTSHIP FIRE"

by Vogue

On December 3, 2016, Oakland residents woke to the news of the worst building fire in the city's history. Lost were 36 of the approximately 100 attending a concert at Ghostship, a former warehouse converted into artist collective. A few short weeks later and a few blocks to the west of the studios, San Leandro artist and TDK graffiti crew member Norman Chuck, aka Vogue, memorialized the names of the victims next to these 36 doves flying into the sunset. “People wanted something uplifting,’’ Vogue told @MercNews — “I hope it helps with the healing process of the victims’ families and friends, and the neighborhood.’’  @vogue_tdk/  @tdkfam/

To accompany this week Thursday tales All ‘hanging books’ are reproductions of the title pages of gothic literary works with added original artwork inspired by the story. They are made from actual salvaged antique books, that are repaired, and their pages fixed, so that they can be hung up like a picture for a unique display.

Really cool artwork from the #hellaveganeats art gallery. I'm lovin the texture that's made out of different used tires. It looks like rocks and pebbles put together on a frame. Lots of other great works at the gallery as well, wonderful works for sale to support the victims of the #ghostship fire. #artistsoninstagram #art #artoftheday #oakland #oaklandartists #artoftheday #ghostshipfire #artwork (at Hella Vegan)

Oakland has been burning. Over the past 18 months, there have been numerous fires, to name a few: The well-known tragedy of the Ghost Ship Fire, the Buddhist Temple in East Oakland, a Check Cashing store in Deep East Oakland, homeless encampments burning in East and West Oakland, and this fire-- at a condo that was being constructed on the fringe of Oakland and Emeryville, the second time in less than a year that this building has gone up in flames. Oakland is burning. And in the midst of the toxic smells of charred building materials, there's a pungent odor of suspicion. Yesterday the Emeryville Police Department released an image of a suspect in the case of this fire. No arrests have been made as of yet. But as houses and businesses burn, and the massive land grab called "gentrification" continues, the pungent odor of suspicion gets stronger. ••••••••••••••••••••••••• Are they trying to run us out of a burning house? Or are they trying to keep us in it? #Fire. #GhostShipFire. #DeepEastOakland.#EastOakland. #WestOakland. #OaklandFire. #Gentrification. #GentriFire. #Oakland. #Emeryville. #EverydayBayArea. #CatchlightEveryDay.

Thursday Tales: The Salem Ghost Ship Recounted by the Rev. Cotton Mather, best known for his writings upon Witchcraft and the supernatural, the Salem Ghost Ship, tells of a sea tragedy taking place off Salem Massachusetts around 1675, and was told by the God fearing congregation to prove that evil in the form of superstition stalked the land. Upon the day the tale is told, a large group of people await to board the ship named ‘Noah’s Dove’ bound for England. While the ship boards, a couple, a man and a woman appear that are not known to the close knit and fearful population of Salem; they also are waiting to board the ship, but the woman is seen to be crying. As the couple appear a Raven flies above the crowd, and cycling round the ship and the crowd lands on the town clock, which shifts its hands forward forward ten minutes. This alongside the strange couple's appearance causes a stir amongst those waiting to board, a sign they believe has been seen, and relatives waiting to say goodbye, begin to warn their friends and loved ones against boarding. As the strange couple boards, alongside those who choose to ignore the portent, and the ship casts off its lines, a strong breeze instantly appears, taking the ship with speed out to sea. The breeze quickly foments into a storm, with hail, thunder and lightning lashing the ship, and the town, for three solid days; with the puritan inhabitants sure that the ‘Noah's Dove’, and all those abroad have succumbed to the storm. On the fourth day, the storm begins to recede, and sunlight struggles to be seen upon the wharf, drawing crowds to the spectacle of the same ship, fighting against the slowly diminishing wind, to immediately make land, (Continued in the comments). #salemmassachusetts #newenglandhistory #ghostships #ghostship #ghostshipfire #cottonmather #salemma #salem #ghoststories #ghosttales #ghost #ghosts #puritan #puritans #superstition #superstitions #newenglandlife #historicaltales #historicalstories #historystory #salemghosttour #thepalatine #ghosthistory #ghostlegends #newenglandfolk #folklore #strangehistory #gothictales #gothichistory #blockisland https://www.instagram.com/p/CPqf1LansVO/?utm_medium=tumblr

At this year's @oaklandindieawards there was a candle in honor of every person who died in the #GhostShip warehouse fire; a heinous event that took place December 2, 2016, leaving 36 dead in total. This candle was dedicated to @alexg_director, a father, a film director, and a friend. His last film was a few seconds of footage from inside of the warehouse, recorded shortly before the fire, and posted to his Instagram. As today's headlines in the #BayArea read of the arrests of the two individuals who are charged with being responsible for the "death trap" of a building where the fire occurred, thoughts about those who paid the price with their lives come to mind. So, I decided to post this photo, and watch @alexg_director's final film one more time. #EverydayBayArea. #CatchlightEveryday. #GhostShipFire. #Oakland.
