Wir bleiben noch kurz beim Thema Essen:
Ich war letztes Jahr in #FFM und wollte mit Freundin J. brunchen gehen. Sie fand zum Glück [!] das Life Deli, ein phantastisches veganes Café/Restaurant im Jüdischen Museum. Wir waren echt im siebten Himmel, alles ist hochwertig, die Atmosphäre ist toll und sowohl Vor- als auch Haupt- als auch Nachspeisen und Getränke waren superlecker. Sehr gerne und hoffentlich bald mal wieder!!
Inspired by yesterday's curry experience I wanna nudge you with my #rebcommendations towards Tamar #Adler|s unbelievably rich An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace [2011], + also towards The Complete Tassajara Cookbook [2009] by Edward Espe #Brown. Both cherish food, eating + [kind of un?] celebrate the act of cooking as part of a well lived daily life. There are insights, recipes, reflections + tricks that really changed my own views on how I want to nourish myself.
Uhhh as a proud fan of Krista #Kohonen [Beforeigners/German ARD, The Swarm/German ZDF +others] of course I've to watch Tove, in which Kohonen acts as lover of #Jansson, artist, illustrator, creator of the Moomins.
I'm halfway through + it's as great as expected <3. The movie as well as Janssons story itself, bc I wasn't familiar with Moomins before [yes, that's possible, even being a child from the 80s] + the life of Jansson is a lively one.

Those two are a great resource: MBSR / MBCL. There are 8 ~2h long weekly meetings plus a complete day, learning about/practising Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction or MB Compassionate Living.
MBSR was founded in the 70s, originally as a program to support people with chronic pain. It's one of the most scientifically studied "tools" for stress reduction, bulging with different techniques and exercises - and clean from all spiritual or esoteric tendencies. Love it!
I'm not at my best currently concerning schedules as you might have noticed - so here comes yesterday's treat:
Florence Given. Not yet 30 and incredibly resourceful, joyous and yes, PINK. You can find her content under FLOSS on Instagram or buy one of 3 books she authored, on Feminism, Queerness [that one's a novel] or on the delight of directing your own life.
She's an author, illustrator, clothes and jewellery designer - and quite a mindful human being. 🤎
Nr. 12 ist was für diejenige*n, die auf Deutsch lesen können: Die megatolle Buchreihe "Naturkunden" [Verlag Matthes & Seitz Berlin, Hrsg. Judith #Schalansky]!
Angefangen hat meine Liebe mit Hanf von Ute #Woltron, aktuell lese ich Affen von Volker #Sommer; diese superkurzen Bücher machen einfach Spaß. Es gibt mittlerweile mehr als 100, sollte also jede*r was für den eigenen Geschmack finden - allen ist der warme Blick auf Natur gemein. <3

#bestStart25 #rebcommendations
I proudly present numero undici of my #rebcommendations to have a #bestStart25:
The stories with and about Helen Tudor-Fisk [wonderfully played AND written [!] by comedian Kitty #Flanagan] titled FISK, deliver a very very very great australian series about a lawyer that is at the same time completely overqualified for and a mess at her job in a small solicitors' firm. Super fun supporting actors/roles and all sponsored by a very dry humor.
My [anecdotal!] experiences with acupressure methods are really great, I'm using on an almost daily basis an acupressure mat + the Theracane. You can google those yourself, general principle of an acup-mat is a stimulation of the tissue/lymph/bloodflow to those areas which generates warmth + relaxes. For me it helps lots, while on it I listen to audiobooks.
The Theracane is suited to use a bit of a lever to be able to "massage" certain pain points/stressed areas.
I'm interested in everything concerning physicality/behavior, this includes singing - especially the vast possibilities to generate sound with larynx/palate, tongue/mouth/muscles in general as well as diaphragm control.
One method that isn't that well known in "Western" culture is throat singing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat_singing
As part of my #rebcommendations bc it's cool to explore those fascinating singing styles, here a marketing sampler/overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhSEKxQjOpY
Have fun!
Falls du in [der Region] #Hannover lebst oder hier mal mit der Bahn vorbeikommst, lohnt sich Do - Sa [von 12-20 Uhr geöffnet] ein Besuch im Vintage Institut. Elfie & Ignaz haben ne wirklich tolle, mehrstöckige "Loft"-Location, in der nicht nur supercoole 2nd Hand-Mode verkauft wird, sd. auch Schmuck, Möbel etc. Hin + wieder finden auch Events statt, Modenschauen, Jam-Sessions neuerer Bands etc.
Hast du 2nd Hand-Tipps für H? Her damit! 🥳
This is one of my somewhat more international #rebcommendations ;)
Don't know whether you sympathize with the concept of ["French"] bidets or ["Japanese"] washlets/WCs but can say that I didn't until just recently. - I discovered especially this one because I also like #Kulmine / their other products in general very much - and now I would not want to live without such a thing :)!

Thanks to @ilikebrains / @mamsell who introduced the concept :)]
Ich lese viel, gern und so ziemlich alles [..., was kein klassischer Krimi ist]. Schon seit Dekaden immer wieder mal österreichische Literatur - und fühl' mich total zu Hause in den Wörtern und geborgen von Sätzen. Keine Ahnung, warum, und ja, ich finde das auch schwülstig, ist aber genau so.
Angela #Lehner, Julia #Jost, Clemens #Setz, Anna #Mitgutsch [die hab ich schon mit ca 13 entdeckt?!]. In der Zeit auch Robert #Schneider, bin nicht sicher, ob das noch gilt.
Now we dive into Taste - next of my #rebcommendations for the #bestStart25 :
Just in case you like chocolate AND liquorice you have to try #BülowLakrids - in my opinion it's the best liquorice that exists. https://lakridsbybulow.com/
Und auch, wenn du NUR Schokolade oder NUR Lakritz magst, sind die 'nen Test wert. Sauviele Sorten, meine Favoriten sind die Slow Cooked [...] Lakritze... https://lakridsbybulow.de/slow-crafted-bio-lakritze
Vom Preis her nichts für nebenbei am Filmabend, sondern eher zum Gönnen - phantastisch.
.. and bc it's already January 4th here's no 4:
I'm reading lots [you know that] and one of my nonfiction favorites is Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art [2020] by James #Nestor. "Breath is a fascinating ride through evolution, medicine, physiology and extreme sports." [Quote from @thestorygraph description] And I would add "ancient wisdom" to that.
As well as Four Thousand Weeks/#Burkeman, this is a nonfiction I intend to read a 2nd time, probably in '25!
Numero tre der #rebcommendations für einen #bestStart25 !
Der "Kalender" "Ein guter Plan" ist nicht nur ein guter Planer, sondern es gibt vom "Ein guter Verlag" [jaja] auch umzu eine Menge anderes gutes Zeug - wie zum Beispiel diese Fragen zur Jahresreflektion. Ich beantworte die seit einigen Jahren für mich [nicht immer komplett] und kann es nur empfehlen; das holt mir Details und Ereignisse und Gefühle aus dem Jahr, die ich sonst gar nicht mehr auf dem Schirm hätte.
OK, weil ich gestern gesehen hab, dass die neue 4. Staffel #HIP - Ermittlerin mit Mords-IQ mit Audrey #Fleurot nur noch bis 26.1. [!] online ist, empfehle ich die Serie in dieser Reihe doch noch ein wirklich letztes Mal.
Sehr, sehr skurril, sehr schnell und unkonventionell - und SEHR bunt. <3 Link zur 1. Folge der 1. Staffel siehe unten.

🧵 For a head start in 2025 I will post daily in January; books or authors or series or STUFF that I love and recommend:
I really like to watch edgy series with main characters that seem to be a bit off most of the time. One of those is #Pernille, a norwegian series about a single mom living with two kids, her own dad [yup, grampa] plus her nephew. She's pragmatic and lovely, the depiction of her working at a youth welfare office adds to that but is not in focus.
