Oh, BTW, here's a free hug 🫂 The rule is pick one up, leave one down. You'll never know when people will need it. #PositiveVibes #FreeHugs

Heute ist #CSD in #Bamberg, und wir natürlich dabei… Ich hab mir auf dem #Maxplatz #FreeHugs von einem anderen #Einhorn geholt, das zudem noch gerne mit mir in die Kamera gucken wollte, damit ich uns euch zeigen kann! 🌈
What “freehugs” means
WikipediaThe Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The hugs are meant to be random acts of kindness—selfless acts performed just to make others feel better. Individuals participating in the campaign are sometimes referred to simply as huggers and may also refer to themselves by that term. International Free Hugs Month is celebrated on the first Saturday of July and continues until August first.
