Wenn man konsequent genug nach links geht, kommt man rechts wieder raus:
Spätestens wenn polnischen Reinigungskräften gekündigt wird, weil sie keine veganen Putzmittel benutzen, sollte allen klar sein, dass auch Neukölln mittlerweile in den Feuern der Gentrifizierungshölle schmort. Offenbar wird der Berliner Stadtbezirk nämlich von spießigen Upper-Class-Ökos bevölkert, die gerne mal auf die xenophobe Kacke hauen.

It might not always be easy to really live up to these beautiful instructions for a better life. However, I strongly recommend to read them as often as possible!
1) Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
2) What others think of you is none of your business.
3) Time heals almost everything, give it time.
4) Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them.
You have no idea what their journey is all about.
5) Stop thinking too much, it’s alright not to know the answers.
They will come to you when you least expect it.
6) No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
7) Smile. You don’t own all the problems in the world.

Sam Jankowski worked out a very interesting vision of what could be called Fair Trade 2.0 and is now about to launch his new project, the Price Transparency Database for groceries and all everyday products.

“As the performance aspect becomes predominant, a paradigm shift is underway. Crowds used to come see DJs for a musical journey. Now they expect to hear specific songs and furthermore, they want to see a show. I can attest to this myself: the craziest crowd response that I get in my sets is when I play my own tracks [...] But one has to wonder, when so much emphasis is put on hit records and mise-en-scène: is there still room for DJ skills?” – Read the full article at Huffington Post
Issue 9 of the London Street-Art Design Magazine has just been released. Didn’t read it yet but the table of contents looks great and the last editions have been top-notch!
Laut diesem Artikel des deskmag plant das deutsche Rentenministerium eine Reform, nach der gering verdienende Selbstständige zu Rentenversicherungen verpflichtet werden, die monatliche Mehrbelastungen von um die 300 Euro bedeuten.
