Remember when everyone got their first blogs and websites and there was always a section that pointed to cool stuff other people were doing? I don’t know why no one is doing that anymore, but I am bringing it back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
id\u00ebmo! <\/a>– Association for Friends of the Western Balkans – id\u00ebmo! is an Austrian diaspora organization for everyone who has ties to the Western Balkan region and wishes for its better future. Buecherstube Baumann<\/a> – The dusty, chaotic, and truly wonderful independent bookstore I worked at when I was a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buchhandlung Bernhard Riedl <\/a>– Where I go for advice and mental health. There is nothing on the website except the address and phone number, because Bernhard and Sandra are all about the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barbara Pacholik<\/a> – Unique painted portraits and workshops<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thomas Kranabetter<\/a> – Artist, digital something; I don’t understand half of what he does,<\/strong> but he made a gun out of meat and I respect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisa Ante<\/a> – Visual artist exploring her Filipino-Austrian identity. She is also sort of related to me\u2014like a sister-in-law but not really. A sister anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Halo Halo<\/a> – A Filipino-Austrian diaspora organization casting light on the essential contribution they make to our society. They started a campaign to counter the racist and disrespectful way some politicians speak about attracting skilled workers from the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Riggin Hittn<\/a> – My brother is a rigger and a very good one too\u2014or so I am told. If you know what that is and you need one, he is your man.
Frauendom\u00e4ne<\/a> – Two friends built this database of female expertise. Need a qualified woman for a panel, publication, or event<\/strong>?? Good news! There are plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
