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!

listen i know a lot of you think that judaism is just like….christianity but with some cool more ~ethnique~ holidays or whatever but if you’re approaching your interpretation of judaism within any sort of framework related to xtianity you’re doing it entirely wrong

“the torah says [x]” doesn’t mean “the torah says this and so this is what everyone does bc that’s the torah”

“the torah says [x]” means “for the next several thousand years people are going to argue about what exactly this means, what the loopholes are, how many different ways this can be interpreted, whether we should even follow it, and hey maybe gd isn’t even real so maybe the question is how this impacts us and our society, what are the implications, etc”

judaism is not “the torah says sodomy is an abhorrence therefore the entire religion is intrinsically homophobic and gd hates gays and is gonna send us to hell for being gay” because that is not how judaism works AT ALL

if you’re a prospective convert, if you’re someone who’s interested in theology, if you’re someone who thinks you know enough about judaism to talk about it on the internet, it is ESSENTIAL to understand these things.

judaism is not, and has never been, xtianity. not just because of our holidays. not just because we don’t believe that jesus is the messiah. but because we have a fundamentally different philosophy about gd, the torah, and how we should live our lives.

this is ok to rb btw

ykw goyim can reblog this too just don’t be stupid

ALERT TO ALL ANTHRO ARTISTS

tammycat:

the tag “fur-ry” (minus the dash) is among those in the site-side blacklist, and is why so much artwork and so many blogs are suddenly invisible from the search.

provided this isn’t a temporary measure, i strongly advise to remove the “fur-ry” tag and use stand-in tags such as “anthro” and “kemono”, since neither are affected. 

the New Xkit extension “Tag Replacer” is an easy way to swap your tags over, and you can change it back if this issue gets resolved!

like not to galaxybrain on you guys this early in the morning but all forms of resistance are resistance and if you are unable or you feel unsafe or otherwise re: activism and big hands-on resistance growing yourself a goddamn Lettuce is just as beneficial to yourself and your community on the smallscale. you gotta act within ur means babey. and like that is not to denounce activism but some people aren’t able to Do That. And in those cases it’s very easy to feel small and unhelpful and kind of trapped. also you cant reblog this one either and if you do I will shit on your doormat I’m on like nine layers of paranoia right now
