After nearly 2 years away I finally had a chance to return to the Westcliffe property Tenacious Unicorn abandoned
Though I can't say I was particularly surprised by anything I saw (given my experience with TUR) I'm truly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of trash they left behind
There is some discussion to be had about the friends of TUR that tried to claim the property for themselves after Penny left.
They ransacked and vandalized the house after being caught but they did not haul in all this trash to make a mess within the 24 hrs Penny left
We've made some effort to clean out the interior. This alone has taken two 30 yard dumpsters and about $2000 to get to this point
Underneath you can see there's lots of damage left behind including cat urine stains, ruined appliances and unrepaired plumbing damage
Though there is plenty of gray area inside as to which party is to blame for the damage done, this only scratches the surface of the sheer extent of harm TUR brought to the home I put my financial future on the line for
Since it's construction I have always referred to the "dug in barn" as a mud pit since water drainage was never considered
I was appalled to see the design after I moved off property in my last visits
Sadly inside Sky discovered one last forgotten alpaca (not pictured)
Outside there is a massive amount of trash left everywhere around the building
Tin cans from the recycling trailer they took. Donated mattresses meant for homeless trans people, all kinds of furniture and broken machinery
Pic in 1st tweet is the surrounding deck they removed
A trick of Penny's that I learned while helping them move out of the Livermore property is to stuff trash in every out building, basement and crevice so the main building looks relatively clean but half hide the extent of removal costs needed to get a home ready for sale
The tire piles I'm really confused about. Where did they keep coming from, why were they keeping them? (outside of difficulties with disposal)
And of course there is my car. I might sound like I'm having a fine time looking over the damage but I can assure you that is a trauma response
All in all the damage is extensive
I've spoken with a number of people who believe I can at least break even on a sale
There might be a buyer for it as is or I'll have to remove the trash which was estimated at $16k alone
Proper repairs would cost 10s to 100s of thousands
The following tweets will include as many of the pictures I didn't use in the thread so far

I was encouraged to make further comments on this and I've been holding back quite a bit so here we go
"4 months" It's easily provable that my "harassment" campaign started on December 26th with my posts outlining credible concerns with their operations for the public to discuss
The goal on my timeline is to create an evolving discussion about TUR and what failures they have made to prevent the further harm of vulnerable trans people, not only by the ranch directly but by other projects they inspire
There's much about the ranch's statement I intend to go over but the twisting of events leading to my departure are egregious and full of outright misdirection
Their attacks on my ex and current partner are irrelevant to the problems of the ranch and EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE
🧵👇
For the safety and well being of my currently standing spouse and co-owner of the ranch property I am leaving out many details of what happened between us. I'm in their corner and we have not come to an agreement on what to do about the property
I forgive my ex for their mistake
To begin @KindKinkster was invited to visit the ranch by me and has never intended to live on the ranch and never formally applied to merge their project with the ranch
They have never claimed to be a formally trained counselor but did speak with some vulnerable members
