@tinker My local repair café often has a lot of demand for lamp repair, too.
Honestly, I've been doing repair cafés since last summer and it's a ton of fun. Great, low-pressure chance to engage the problem-solving bits of my brain.
At my library's repair cafe as a volunteer.
It's the first time they're running it and they're hoping to do this regularly.
I came in thinking I would help with computer troubleshooting... but they have enough people doing that.
So I figured I could help with Linux OS install... but the local Linux Install Party is here and has enough people.
Then a guy brought in a bicycle! And no one is here doing bike repair. But I brought my allen wrench set and a multitool.
So I just got done running and installing a new bicycle brake line on an older bike. Brake works just fine now!
I'll bring my full set of bike tools next time!

Really. Everybody wants #freedom and liberty. Not just Venezuela, Iran, Palestine ... Just some consider protesting too costly, others believe ("moderately") right wing or capitalist parties will fix it for them. Others lose hope (don't, organise and your depression diminishes). Again others organise silently or build community.
And others are friends of the ruling class and couldn't give an arse.
