"Join us in the #RepairRevolution. We can assess your broken goods, and some of our skilled volunteers may help to repair them or tell you who else can.

We offer tea, coffee, a friendly chat and free services.

This is part of a larger movement across the world to extend the lifespan of our material goods, diverting them from landfill and keeping your treasured tools well-kept."

📎 Meet my new profile icon: Clippy the Paperclip! 🖇️✨

You might recognize this little guy from the ‘90s, but Clippy’s back—and this time, he’s a symbol of resistance! 🛠️💙 Inspired by Louis Rossmann, Clippy has become the mascot of a growing digital rebellion against Big Tech’s planned obsolescence, surveillance, and the "shitification" of everything we love. He’s here to remind us that tech should serve people, not the other way around.

I personalized mine with a blue beret. That’s my little wink to Blue Beanie Day—and web accessibility—to make the internet work for everyone. (Because yes, even the revolution needs to be inclusive! 😉)

P.S. If anyone knows how to add alt text to profile pics, let me know—I’d love to have an image description in my profile!

Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. Und in unserem Klimaschritt von heute geht es um Reparieren statt wegwerfen! ♻

Loch im Pulli? Riss in der Jeans? Nicht wegwerfen – reparieren!

Mit einfachen Tricks und etwas Kreativität verlängerst du das Leben deiner Kleidung, schonst deinen Geldbeutel und tust ganz nebenbei etwas fürs Klima. 🌍💚

💡Wusstest du, dass jede*r in der EU im Schnitt 11 Kilo Kleidung pro Jahr wegwirft – aber nur 1 % recycelt wird? Das geht auch anders!

‼️ So wirst du zur Kleider-Retter*in 👕

→ Bewusst einkaufen – Qualität vor Quantität

→ Reparaturservices nutzen – viele Marken machen's möglich

→ Reparieren lassen – bei Schuster, Schneiderin oder Stopf-Profis

→ selbst flicken – Hilfe gibt’s online oder im Nähcafé

→ kreatives Upcycling – individuelles Fashion-Design aus deiner Heimwerkstatt

❓️ Was du davon hast? 🌍 Weniger CO2, weniger Kosten, ein längeres Leben für deine Lieblingsstücke und einen eigenen, unverwechselbaren Fashion-Style.

📚 Tipp: Das Buch "Geschickt geflickt" zeigt, wie cool Reparieren sein kann – auch für Anfänger*innen.

👉 Mach mit: Schau gleich heute in deinen Kleiderschrank, was du am Wochenende kreativ flicken kannst!

➡️ Viele Tipps und Links und weitere Infos findest du in unserem Klimaschritt „Kleidung reparieren statt wegwerfen“. Viel Spaß beim Kleidung und Klima retten!

Finished reading #RepairRevolution by John Wackman and Elizabeth Knight (2020). Here are some of my favourite quotes from the book.

Reparieren muss sich wieder lohnen!

I have a Logi Folio Touch Keyboard Case for an iPad Air that’s not connecting/lighting up properly - holding it at a certain angle works, so it’s clearly a dodgy connecting ribbon underneath. Out of warranty now. How do I go about repairing it? Can’t see anything on iFixit. #repaircafe #RepairRevolution #repairability #FixIt

I, a layman, repaired a ShopVac with nothing but a $5 part, a YouTube video, and moxy! 😤👨‍🔧
