Looking for a lefty Mitbewohni in Kaskelkiez (S-Nöldnerplatz)

(Ich würde sagen, dass meine Deutschkenntnisse völlig ausreichen, aber was meine Ausdrucksfähigkeit und tiefere Gespräche angeht, ist Englisch für mich immer noch die bessere Wahl.)


Dear future Mitbewohni,

Although I very much prefer to get to know people in person — over a drink and/or while preparing a meal together — I'll try to give a short-ish (for me) description of myself and the place for the sake of a less-personal introduction...

Currently, I live roughly two-weeks-on-two-weeks-off with my Lebensgefährtin and her ~15 year-old son, however she is wanting to move to Lübben, so she can spend more time in the woods, and concentrate more on building diverse and resilient forests, and a budding anti-AfD / Antifa project. For now, I'm city-bound and, so, part of making this possible will likely involve finding a flatmate to move in with me. (Ideally, this would be an indefinite / dauerhaft thing, but initially, I imagine a one to three month time together could help us get a good feeling for each other...)

We imagine the time-frame for this would be one to three months (i.e. March to May 2024), however (again, ideally), the exact details could be talked about and explored together, to try and find something that works for you as well as us / me — especially if 80%+ fits and there's a strong yes (or 'hell yes' from everyone involved)...


ABOUT THE ROOM AND APARTMENT
(More-relevant) photos and a more detailed description to come but, basically, it's a ~70 sqm, well-lit apartment im 3.OG, in a quiet, but still very well connected Dörfchen one station east of Ostkreuz. It has two bedrooms — I imagine the ~15 sqm room (with a large Hochebene / -bett) would be yours, and the larger (maybe ~30 sqm) room being mine / the lounge room — and a pretty spacious kitchen and bathroom, and a balcony off the kitchen...

Since my Lebensgefährtin will be moving out, we can probably be pretty flexible in terms of how fully- or partially-furnished things are (with the exception of the Hochebenen).

(And as the apartment also kinda double as my (mostly-packed-away) Electronics / CAD/CAM / Chem / Microbiology lab, it probably has more shelves in it than your average (or certainly minimalist) WG but, like I said, things are mostly packed away, and if you know how to use things, you'd also be more than welcome to turn the place into a bit of a Laborgemeinschaft, too :cough:)


ABOUT ME
I guess I'm really not a huge fan of labels, but if I had to pick a few, they'd include: feminist; anarchist; 'probably quite far-left but currently in more contemplative and planning stages due to grief over what is to come and for my own heart's sake'; poly (formerly what one could, perhaps, describe as a 'poly slut*'); an appreciator of knowledge, elegant / efficient designs, and rationality; a combination of spontaneity _and_ longer-term thinking; End:Civ / DGR; queer-embracing; and vegetarian / fregetarian (if that word exists?)

My comfortable and privileged job in IT is what's currently paying the bills, but my current interests include: open source lower-tech; DGR / collapse-aware projects; mycology / entheogens / biochemistry; myco-remediation, Permaculture, reforestation; getting closer to nature / basking in the sun at an FKK See; Körpertherapie / the more 'energetic' and healing kinds of touch / (probably also heading into certain 'occult practices' — we'll see) / SW; good horror and so-bad-they're-good B-Grade films; and G&Ts and Tempranillos.

(And in terms of 'backgrounds' / for what it's worth, extraction-wise, I'd say I'm a 'functionally white', mixed European-Asian / migrant from Australia; and educationally, electronic engineering / computer science / maths with a bit of cognitive science / machine learning on the side...)


Okay, if this has already piqued your interest, then it'd be beautiful to hear from you (and / but to help with the 'pre-filtering', please write something which shows that you've actually read this profile — maybe tell me which of my current interests resonated with you the most, or what your favourite tree or mushroom is). Like I said, in-person conversations are my favourite way of getting to know people, but I could also very much imagine an initial video-call if that'd be the easiest way to find a time that works for the both of us... And, you know, we can then share our thoughts, interests, hopes (or not) and dreams; we can talk about where we are in life and/or the projects that we're working on; we can share what we love about our favourite species of plants, fungus, birds or other non-human life; we can share our lamentations re the unavoidable consequences of global industrial civilisation; and the beauty and energy that can (still) come from the coming together of people when they're not actively trying to destroy life on this planet...

(And it is, still, just a glimpse into my world, but one of my 'things that have really touched, moved or inspired me' playlists is over at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTmUZ-l_d-emq4E_DYBinHKAjvTtK0QX0, should you be interested in that, too...)
