Hoe serieus moet je GroenLinks/PvdA in #Eindhoven nog nemen, nu ze geen ruimte hebben geboden in de nieuwe milieustraat voor het Repair Café?
In het collegeprogramma wordt het vieren van Carnaval als integraal beleid van de gemeente Eindhoven gezien.
Carnaval 15 februari, verkiezingen 18 maart 2026.

Is this a record? 82 volunteers is a huge amount.
Favourite story of the year… meeting the 81 - 81! - volunteers and seeing their combined decades of expertise put to work at the Tunbridge Wells repair cafe…
My uplifting day at the repair café that fixes anything for free

Bags, blenders, antique clocks — if you name it, this army of volunteers in Tunbridge Wells can probably sort it with a smile and a story

Anyone in the #uk have experience of setting up a #repaircafe ? There isn't one in my local town and I'm investigating setting one up. Especially with the #endof10 looming for #windows10 , I figure my experience with #linux and fixing stuff could be useful to others.

Question from @jennynettles.bsky.social :
wondering if I could talk to someone about insurance for repair cafes not set up in maker spaces in the US. The first one is May 25 so trying to get stuff sorted before then. The hosting senior center needs us to hold a policy naming them for these events.

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma, the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement.
“More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society," Postma says. "[They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.” 🔗👇

There was a long queue to the repair shop. There always seemed to be, these days.
The areas for fabrics and fibre, wood, metal, mechanics and electronics were all busy, but none more so than the dreams section.
"Oh, this has taken some beating, poor thing."
"Can you fix it?"
"We'll do our best."
