Ok here’s the deal New Yorkers:
🌱 Mutual Aid org started in 2020 to cook meals for people during the pandemic, initially meant to be a small scale project for a few weeks.
🌱 Now, they’ve made 485,000+ meals over 4 years and feed people across all 5 boroughs. They have a big focus on feeding migrants in the EV, but they also send food out to many satellite orgs feeding people elsewhere.
🌱 This is not your militant volunteer work with an interview and an application and lots of rules and regulations. This is sign up and show up. (Wear a hat or you’ll have to wear an ugly hairnet.)
🌱 The main big volunteer push is every Sunday at the 6th St Community Center. They pack the whole place full of volunteers doing prep work for the cooks and then serving the meals into single serve containers. (Only cooks and head chef in the kitchen!!)
🌱 The vibes are amazing, everyone is chatting, the more social you are the better, music is playing, and the food is really really really tasty. The volunteer spots fill up about three weeks out…that’s how awesome it is.

(I’ve only spent two Sundays with them, because I typically work with one of the satellite orgs, but it’s been awesome and I recommend it to everyone, and I’m looking forward to more Sundays spent there!)

Volunteer-run & donation-based community network that's taking on the broadband oligopoly of Verizon, Optimum, and Spectrum to provide free internet for the people. They'll set you up with your own rooftop antenna that gives you a private connection to the decentralized mesh network while also creating a separate public hotspot that others can access. Registration is super easy, and they have a bunch of tools on their website to show which nodes are in your area

These are my favorite food (only slight hyperbole).
I recommend, in no order:
-Kettle brand
-Kettle brand air fried
-7/11
-Lay's Kettle Cooked
These chips are so strong that they will burn your tongue. They are chemical perfection that make the systems in my body dance. They are so rock and roll. No matter what size the bag, I will probably finish the bag.
I always eat the folded ones first, and then move to the unfolded ones.

If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
