I started the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual after I started putting stuff outside that my family did not want anymore and we couldn't sell on the Marketplace. I noticed the items would disappear and my neighbors would bring items to replace them. My friend who helps shut ins in Glendale brings over whatever food she has left and leaves that on the table for people to take who visit my mutual aid table.

Thursday August 6th, I received 6 deliveries of donations (clothes, food, toys, housewares, books, DVDs). By Saturday August 8th the table is empty.

Items that are in high demand:

FOOD FOR PEOPLE OR PETS

CLOTHES

TOILETRIES

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

DIAPERS FOR BABIES & ADULTS

TOYS

BACK PACKS, LUNCH BOXES & POCKET BOOKS

Books really don't go on my table, so when I get a donation of them I wait a few days then I bring them down to the Little Free Library in PS 153's school yard.

Donations can be dropped off, and you can take what you need 24 hours a day & 7 days a week:

5938 60TH ROAD, MASPETH

Donations can be dropped off at certain businesses during business hours. Just label them Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table.

Thank you for all donations. And if you are near the Maspeth/Ridgewood border and are in need please check out table and take what you need. No questions asked. Please spread the word. Thanks.

Is iAMsburg getting conservative party? The people wandering around no longer look like the magical metal head goths I grew up with since 2006. In 20 years of busking (playing music for money in public) I have never had trouble until last night in the neighborhood that I felt most safe in of all the English speaking world for my brain type. Having toured the world and a lot of that time has been playing outside., the cops only ever stood by to see if other people liked what I was doing. And people always do - last night was no exception. People rolling down their windows to say they loved it and other people dropping dollars in our bag while we sang about universalism. Just as we were getting into the backtracks like everyone else on the block, 4 squad cars pull up and I have it all on video. The city will owe us for this one especially since I actually have the documents they asked for and they didn't let me furnish them. If East Williasburg wants to save itself, it needs to norlize universal housing so the bad actors calling 311 on established artists is how they can retalliate outside the comment section. Also the cops can't wait to have rainbow zebra uniforms to help keep everyone calm knowing they're here to protect and serve our community (not the tourists who come to work - haha how many slumlords don't even live in the city). Don't worry we have something being developed for my people but just making notice and saying thanks to everyone who filmed the show. For everyone else who bought the autobeef, here's more <#payDumb (not freedom): https://185668232.org/riseup
