Repair Cafés

Repair Cafés are free meeting places and they’re all about repairing
things (together). In the place where a Repair Café is located, you’ll
find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. On
clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery,
appliances, toys, et cetera. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with
repair skills in all kinds of fields.

Visitors bring their broken
items from home. Together with the specialists they start making their
repairs in the Repair Café. It’s an ongoing learning process. If you
have nothing to repair, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Or you can
lend a hand with someone else’s repair job. You can also get inspired
at the reading table – by leafing through books on repairs and DIY.

There are over 1.500 Repair Cafés worldwide. Visit one in your area or start one yourself!

TIL The Department of Justice and ICE are responsible for hacking into and planting child pornography on the computers of known pirates in order to arrest them and ruin their lives.

to clarify they do this to people who pirate movies, shows, or songs, they got exposed by 4chan and some high level leaks, and they STILL do this because most of the people working for “justice” dont believe that the high fines for pirating are enough, better to put em in prison for two decades and then theyre a creepy registered sex offender until they die. thats what they get for sharing a copy of Zootopia, right? totally deserved
