Alrighty then... I think I'll save the rest of the posts I have planned for next week's #SolarPunkSunday. I've bookmarked articles about #FoodWaste (including recipes), more #Rewilding stories, and ways to stay warm (including alternatives to synthetic insulation)! And, of course #RepairCafes, #LibrariesOfThings, #VisibleMending, #Degrowth, and other related topics! TY to @MaQuest and everyone who chimed in and/or used the hashtag! I'll be re-boosting some SPS articles from yesterday before transitioning back into current events.

Saturday, January 10, 2026
10 am - 2 pm
Kansas City Public Library - Plaza Branch
4801 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64112
"We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it’s cheaper to replace rather than repair it or we just don’t know how to fix it.
That’s where Repair Cafés come in! Together with our volunteers, you can have your broken items repaired instead of tossing them.*
We’ll be doing fixes for items such as:
Bikes
Clothing/textiles (repairs only, no alterations, please)
Computers (Virus/malware removal, file transfers, other basic repairs)
Electronics
Jewelry
Lamps
Small appliances (e.g., replacing cords on handmixers, toasters, irons, etc.)
*Limit of 1 item per turn and 3 items total. Stay for additional turns if volunteers are available to help.
If you’re someone who enjoys tinkering or problem-solving to get something working again or loves to organize, we’re looking for volunteers!
We’ll also have a free clothing swap–just bring your clean, gently used clothes to trade with others and refresh your wardrobe the FREE and sustainable way!
If you have surplus tools, such as screwdrivers, hammers, clamps, pliers, wrenches, drills and soldering equipment lying around taking up space, donate them to Re.Use.Full to use at upcoming Repair Cafés! Contact us at hello@reusefull.org to arrange for your donation."

Unterstützung gesucht!!!
Liebe Alle,
heute wende ich mich einmal an euch, denn ich benötige eure tatkräftige Unterstützung.
Im Rahmen meines Aufbaus von reparatur.social und einem damit verbundenen Unterstützungs-Bereichs für #Reparateure, Selbstständige, #RepairCafes und #Reparatur-Initiativen, der auch eine Anbindung (Shop) für Ersatzteile aus dem Großhandel bekommen soll, möchte ich parallel ein Doku-Archiv für Service Manuals und Geräte-spezifischen Reparatur-Tipps aufbauen.
Ihr habt technische Unterlagen, Service-Anleitungen oder Schaltbilder, ob bereits digital oder noch in der guten alten Papierform?
Dann meldet euch doch bitte bei mir, sofern ihr bereit seid, diese Infos zur Verfügung zu stellen. Gerne übernehmen wir auch den Scanservice, und senden euch die Unterlagen, falls ihr das möchtet, auch wieder retour.
Alles natürlich nur in gegenseitiger Absprache (sonst läuft mir meine Werkstatt über 😁 )
Bitte gerne #boosten / teilen, und auch an Organisationen im Reparaturbereich weiterleiten.
Und für weitere Info zum Projekt wende Dich gerne an @oldperl

@aparrish Not good for #RightToRepair and #RepairCafes. Damn!
Alrighty then...! That was another great #SolarPunkSunday! A shout-out to @MaQuest , @BrambleBearGrrrauwling , @jblue , and everyone who used the hashtag and boosted posts! Next week, I hope to show off some #soap pics from today's #soapmaking session, and I'll plan on posting about #DIY #HouseholdCleaners, making #SuetCakes and other treats for our feathered friends, and also focus on #SolarPunk around the world! And of course, #RepairCafes, #LibraryOfThings, #Rewilding, and other related topics! Let's keep doing and sharing for #ABetterFuture! #ABetterWorldIsPossible !
#SydneyNSW, #Australia - Why Buy When You Can Borrow?
"The #Sydney #LibraryOfThings is a not-for-profit service that provides the local community with access to a collection of extremely useful but only occasionally used items that can be loaned out for a short period of time.
We’re like a normal library but with things instead of books! Joining your enables you to borrow from ALL of our branches and you don’t have to live in the local area of the branch you want to join! Find out more about subscriptions and how it works here.
We hope that by encouraging people to borrow instead of buying or throwing away their unwanted items, together we can create a better connected, more sustainable and stronger community.
Did you know we also deliver #RepairCafes and run a #ToyLibrary? Check out #FixItHub Waverton, #TheFixery Cromer and The Lane Cove Toy Library.
We acknowledge the original custodians of the lands we work from, and pay respect to Elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."

"It just shows the power of community skills and generosity and the value of repairing rather than replacing": Local #RepairCafe saves hip-hop legends' gig
The band’s sampler had packed up
By Will Simpson, published 20 November 2025
"An #ArrestedDevelopment gig was saved last week when volunteers from a local repair cafe stepped in to fix a sampler that had broken down during a soundcheck.
"The incident took place down in Falmouth, #CornwallUK, where the Grammy-winning conscious hip hoppers were due to perform at the Princess Pavilions. The piece of equipment failed when the band were soundchecking in the afternoon. Cue some frantic phone calls by the promoters before they alighted on the only people who could save the day: #FalmouthRepairCafe.
"Simon Baker, chair of Falmouth Repair Cafe, told the BBC: 'We've repaired a lot of things over the years, but saving a Grammy-winning band's historic equipment was definitely a first.' "
Don't chuck it, don't store it, fix it for free!
Come to our #RepairCafe at Christ Church #Wanstead hall on Saturday, 10.30-1pm: garment repairs, bike fixers and courtesy of @restartproject , work on your electrical and electronic devices
Free 🫖🧑🔧

@Flamekebab I wonder if #RepairCafes in Wales are using this tech...
Für mich ist der #Kaffeevollautomat ein reines Luxusgut.
Er geht zudem oft defekt weil er nicht (selber) gewartet wurde.
Ich würde auch ein 60K #Auto nicht im #RepairCafe reparieren.
Daher fasse ich das Dingen nicht an.
Die 50 - 70€ für eine jährliche Wartung im örtlichen Handel finde ich jetzt nicht so viel.
Zudem sorgt es dafür das Du noch örtlich einkaufen kannst.
#diy und #RepairCafes sollte eigentlich nur da stattfinden wo die #Reparatur sich eigentlich nicht mehr lohnt.
Soll ich mein Blog unter https://ortwinpinke.de mal wieder etwas mehr füllen, oder soll ich https://kaffeeparts.de aufbauen, um dort, im Rahmen des #RechtaufReparatur , einen Shop zu Service und #Reparatur von #Kaffeevollautomaten, Siebträger- und Vendingmaschinen aufzubauen, mit vergünstigten Angeboten für #Selbstreparierer und #RepairCafes ?
