When I was traveling, subletters took amazing care of the garden. But. The labels all burned out - can’t tell whose is where now. They planted flowers in the middle of one pot - pretty but not edible as far as I know. But the onions and the tomatoes are growing great. Inspiring to trust in people and have it work out

Update on my VRBS grant-funded neighborhood project. Been quiet the past 2 months because been busy preparing and running the first festival bringing together various social activist orgs in Haifa, with the bulk of events happening in my neighborhood (and 1/4 of all events ran or organized by yours truly). Many many many many lessons learned (esp. what not to do and why what we’re doing at @cabin and @vrbs is so important and revolutionary). I’ll do a deeper dive later. For now, enjoy some pics. All in all, the seeds of greater neighborhood and city level cooperation for the public good have been planted. Lots more work to do, but ain’t that the fun? )). Thank y’all for your continued support. D

The World’s Smallest Movie Theater just had its opening night (Young Frankenstein) with snacks, tea, and even a bathroom break! Turned a weird tiny room into another 3rd space and already have neighbors planning more screenings. Win!

This weekend, we’re gonna improve my balcony, which I made into a community shared space. On that basis, we will create a local WhatsApp group and IG to inspire more neighbors to join in. Leftover paint and tools will be donated to our neighborhood’s tool library.

gm gm I got my VRBS grant to create a neighborhood marketplace of neighbors both suggesting placemaking improvements and making them. Talking with local and global frens, I realized that paying people would kill all intrinsic motivation so pivoted to spend the money on supplies (pictured).
