All this New York stuff

On Sunday we moved from Brighton Beach to Queens. On our way from the Subway Station to the appartment of our host we went by a Biergarten with a German flag outside. That was weird. We decided not to eat Schupfnudeln and just go on. We were in a hurry anyway cauz we had the possibility to join a meeting of a support group for queer people to “to discuss and develop skills to manage personal emotional challenges“ at the lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender community center (https://gaycenter.org), who meet twice a month. It was a really comfortable atmosphere.

After that we had to hurry to the next place, The Base (http://thebasebk.org), an anarchist space, were the Jane Adams Circle presented their work. They do peer support in triangles of people to help each other getting through emotional crises.

Today we visited the Third Root collective, a community health center, doing yoga classes, massages, acupuncture and herbal medicine.

It is a lot about self healing and so after that I decided, I have to do something for myself and so I ate a whole bagle with peanut butter and jelly.

I was still hungry after that so I had myself vegan macaroni and cheese.

And as I was still hungry after that, I ate vegan beef jerky.

That was enough for the next days. I was so full, that I couldn‘t squibble anymore and my humin carried me through Central Park, where we met a squirrel.

Actually, they are all over New York and not shy at all. On our way back to the subway, we saw one of the thousand doodeling ice cream trucks.

When we came home, we climebed to the roof of the building with our host and her* roomies to watch the sunset. Then the humins cooked, as they have to eat too.
