My little farm.


I started growing my own vegetables on 20 square metres. And I want more!
It is a beautiful experience to see your food grow, to get a feeling for the time and care it takes and for uncomparable freshness when nibbling the radish directly from your garden...
It is also surprisingly easy to produce your own 'best veggies in the world'. Therefore I will definitely work more and more land in the future. And these two videos are encouraging me to follow my hippie-dreams of being a part-time farmer! (as does my dear friend Saskia, by recommending me these videos.)

Little things add up.

"Shall I just park the car?" 
"What? Why? I drove all the way here, why shouldn't I park the car?" 
I'm not a bad driver. I'm just a girl.

>> Microaggressions are the subtle ways in which body and verbal language convey oppressive ideology about power or privilege against marginalized identities (race, gender, age, class, sexuality, body, ability...).

Often, they are never meant to hurt – acts done with little conscious awareness of their meanings and effects. Instead, their slow accumulation during a childhood and over a lifetime is in part what defines a marginalized experience, making explanation and communication with someone who does not share this identity particularly difficult. Social others are microaggressed hourly, daily, weekly, monthly. These comments create and enforce uncomfortable, violent and unsafe realities onto peoples’ workplace, home, school, childhood/adolescence/adulthood, and public transportation/space environments. <<

I fucking love my kaleidoscope!

Lights shine into my face, --- kaleidoscope colors turn into your face
you're not here, into my haze --- kaleidoscope colors turn into your face
Und plötzlich alles lilablau --- Tiefenrausch
Dem Fiebertraum wieder gegenüberschau'n - zielgenau
Stroboskope: Blitze zeichnen alles kilometerweit-nah, dichter Nebel greifbar, 
Keine Furcht, alleine durch die Lichterkegel-Streitmacht
Hinten und vorn sich scheinbar gemeinsam im Finden verlor'n
Erblinde sofort, treib' im Gesichtermeer
Ertrink an dem Ort --- Und plötzlich alles lilablau

Lights shine into my face, --- kaleidoscope colors turn into your face
you're not here, into my haze --- kaleidoscope colors turn into your face

Von lilablau zu monochrom im Stroboskop --- Von ungewohnt bis unter Strom umgepolt
Sekundenschnelle Bilder flackern, dass sich jede Grenze verschiebt, unendliches Tief
Zu zweit allein in bittersüßen Epilepsien
Weg von dem Beat, nur los von dem Treiben reißen
Schweißgebadet entlang endloser Gänge, Menschengedränge, Hektische Enge
Mit den Händen an den Wänden vorbei --- Und plötzlich alles lilablau
Lights shine into my face, --- kaleidoscope colors turn into your face
you're not here, into my haze --- kaleidoscope colors turn into your face
images by me, my smart smart phone and my wonderful kaleidoscope, lyrics from CASPER: lilablau

Behave!

Behaviour Guide
(In order to avoid mere survival)
Intends for younger generations

1. Although apperance shows quite the reverse, the natural trend of the system is to turn you into a slave. Your mission is to remain erect, and never crawl.

2. When learning, you must know how to make the clear distinction between what is ideology and what is genuine knowledge.

3. Be fully aware of the difference there is between making a compromise and compromising yourself.

4. Whatever happens, Heartbreak hotel is sure to be your dwelling place for one or several stays. This is no reason to overindulge in the pangs of love for too long.

5. Learn how to make simple and excellent meals.

6. Fear no gods, whatever appearence they may have.

7. For girls: all boys are more or less the same. For boys: all girls are different.

8. Keep well away from competitive sport that will only cause wounds that will make you suffer when you are over forty.

9. There is no such thing as good and evil. There is what is right and what is bad, what is consistent and what is wrong.

wonderfly.

My dad always told us kids, that when he and my mom first dated, they had a walk on the seaside and met >>us<< - in form of 4 wonderful little fireflies.
