No offense to K.J. Mateyko, but does anyone know if it is possible to remove this bit of personalization without ruining the leather? Should I just try to color match and paint over? 🤔

Today's thrift haul!
Brumma decided she wanted to be a part of whatever I was doing. 😸
The wooden puzzle is for my nephew's next birthday (turning 3).
The second image is all from a flea market that said "fill a bag with fabric for 100 SEK" and I couldn't resist.
I have no idea how much there is of each fabric, except for the bottom right one in the first image which had measurements on it and was 3 meters.
The total cost of everything was slightly above 500 SEK.
Update: The wiring looks fine, so after a few small repairs to the base, its done!
I do want get a new bulb, though. I like the size of the one I had on hand, but I think an amber bulb would be nicer for this lamp
I spent a whole $5 to rescue these (and a leather bag) from the garbage dump salvage center.
The lamp just needs some small repairs, and the lock will absolutely be installed in my tiny cabin.
Ich habe letzte Woche zwei alte, ausgemusterte #UniFi AP AC Pro WiFi-APs erhalten, deren ekelhaft klebrige Soft Touch-Oberflächen jede Menge Schmutz angenommen hatten. 🤢
Zwei alte Stofffetzen, eine nicht unerhebliche Menge Isopropanol, moderate Muskelkraft und vielleicht 20 bis 30 min investierte Lebenszeit später und die Teile sehen besser aus als neu. 🤩
Sitting in public transit yesterday, I dug out my #FoldableKeyboard to my lap, paired it with my #Fairphone, opened a terminal command line app #Termux, connected to my #RaspberryPi #SelfHosting #HomeServer and updated its software remotely on the go. All #SecondHand #Reused #Refurbished #Computers & #Electronics.
No real need for the #Portable keyboard nor remote access here, just felt like trying it out for fun, and for a brief moment, it felt like I was leading a #Solarpunk lifestyle.
Some fun #secondhand finds today. While out and about, learning our new area, we visited a #2ndHand shop. At first the pterodactyl reminded me of #Rodan, so at 99¢ she flew home with me. The vintage #manga was another 99¢ bonus.
Weiß 1, wo mensch gebrauchte Blumentöpfe in Dresden herbekommt? (Umsonstladen, Flohmarkt?)
How cute is this now? 😍
Found it in thrift store. I will definitely paint it nicely. 🤗

The other good thrift find I had the other day is a copy of The Zombies self-titled LP, original mono version, with a ragged-ass sleeve (splits everywhere possible) and a vinyl surface that looks far more fucked up than it sounds. I'm not even a big fan of 60s psych rock, but this is a solid record that I thought I was going to list for sale cheap, but... no, it is an excellent listening copy and I deserve that !

Can anyone recommend an ethical online secondhand bookstore? Hard to navigate who is owned by Nazis these days.

What does a #SolarPunk & #Lunarpunk reality look, feel, taste, smell and hear like? Well here's some tips for incorporating more of it into your life:
🐝Joining your local #CommunityGarden #FoodForest #Permaculture Project. It's incredibly nourishing to grow fresh fruits, herbs and veggies while saying hello and getting to know the folks who live around you. You may even make new friends 😉
🌱setting up simple #hydroponic gardens with a UV lamp connected to a solar panel or other electrical source is easy, cost effective a fun way to foster fresh herbs, fruits & veggies from your immediate home surroundings. Good for dimmer kitchens, balconies and backyards and helps in the winter months with seasonal depression.
👗Try to buy #SecondHand before buying new. There's an abundance of clothing, furniture, electronics etc. in our world, all made with human time and creativity just going to the trash 🗑️. So check apps like Vinted, eBay, #BuyNothingGroups , Craigslist or visit your local flea market, clothing swaps or 2nd hand shop to find these pre-loved items. The fun is in the hunt. And if you can find it, make it! Or learn from a skilled craftsperson to show you how to recycle ♻️ and repair your old items. Puts the DIY in SolarPunk.
🌿 #GuerillaGarden those forgotten small plots of earth around city trees and between intersections, that would love a wild flower 🌹 or two. Dropping a #SeedBomb or spreading some seeds of local plants helps the local ecosystem reach places beyond it's wildest dreams and attracts bees 🐝 butterflies 🦋 and other insects. Consider creating an insect hotel and adding that too!
If you need a lil jump start or steady guidance, I'm happy to offer consultations for a sliding scale. This helps cover my time and resources to gather all things you need to make your #Solarpunk ambitions a reality 🌿

Der Nachmittag hat gerade seinen Ruhepuls erreicht. Im Wedding vermischen sich leise Wochentag und Wochenende – it’s Friday. Ich sitze im neu eröffneten Second-Hand-Vintage-Laden „Mercatino“ in der Neuen Hochstraße 24 auf einem senfgelben Vintage-Sessel und unterhalte mich mit Bettina, der Besitzerin. Es ist, als wäre sie geradewegs einer Polaroidaufnahme entsprungen, die dabei nach dem finnischen Modelabel Marimekko und Jazz klingt.

The wrong #Amazon is burning.
Meine #PrimeDay Shopping Tour:
Katzenbrunnen von #Kleinanzeigen.
Laptop-Tasche von #Momox.
Bücher aus meinem Lieblingsladen, bestellt übers Telefon, Gewinn geht an einen wunderbaren Menschen, Bücher sind genauso schnell da.
Wir brauchen Amazon nicht.
Wir brauchen Meta nicht.
Wir brauchen X nicht.
🌱👚 Heute auf My Friday: Kleidung tauschen statt kaufen! Mit einem Kleidertausch-Koffer geht das genial einfach. Und das ist so wichtig, denn #Secondhand ist nicht nur im Trend, sondern ein wirksamer Hebel für nachhaltigen Konsum und #Klimaschutz.
Wie das funktioniert?
Du nimmst dir aus dem #Kleidertausch-Koffer, der durch deine Nachbarschaft oder eine Gruppe kreist, was dir gefällt: jetzt zum Beispiel neue Outfits für den Sommer. Und statt eigene T-Shirts oder Hosen, die dir nicht mehr passen oder gefallen, zu entsorgen, wandern sie von Kleiderschrank zu Kleiderschrank.
Warum das so eine geniale Idee ist?
✅ Du sparst Geld .
✅ Du probierst alles in Ruhe zu Hause an.
✅ Du schenkst Kleidung ein zweites Leben.
✅ Du lernst Leute kennen, die auch "nein, danke" zu Fast Fashion sagen.
🌱 Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. In unserem neuen Klimaschritt auf My Friday zeigen wir dir, wie du selbst ganz einfach einen Kleidertausch-Koffer starten kannst. Vielleicht sogar einen Themen-Koffer, zum Beispiel mit coolen Klamotten für Festivals.
👉 Lies hier unseren ganzen Artikel und schau danach direkt mal in deinen Kleiderschrank. https://my-friday.org/klimaschritte/kleidertausch-koffer-bequem-second-hand-teilen/
