#SantaBarabaraCA - #RepairCafe Santa Barbara
Saturday, July 18, 2026
10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
"Join us for #RepairCafeSantaBarbara, a completely free, community-powered event where volunteers help fix broken items instead of sending them to the landfill. Bring up to two items — such as clothing, electronics, bikes, furniture, toys, small appliances, or knives for sharpening — and work alongside skilled fixers to bring them back to life. Enjoy light refreshments, live music, and community conversation while learning new #RepairSkills.
This is not a drop-off service; you’ll collaborate directly with a volunteer who will assess your item, guide you through the repair process, and share practical skills along the way. Open to the public and designed to empower you to repair your favorite items, this is a hands-on, educational experience rooted in sustainability and community connection. Interested in getting involved? Contact info@repaircafe.org to volunteer your skills, attend future events, or simply help us spread the word!
This event is part of the Community Environmental Council's A Year of Active Hope, a series of free events hosted at our Environmental Hub to unite the community and create space for courage, connection, and change."

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a partial refund if I cancel my ExpressVPN subscription? I did not know about their ties to Israel and the far-right, and my yearly subscription auto-renewed in like May I think 😡

The United States is 250 years old today and, like some seniors, it shows signs of memory problems, has fallen victim to scammers, and is struggling just to stay alive.
Saturday I attempted to ride with some #Brompton bros to #Tagaytay. 🚴♀️ I bailed when we got to #Anabu. Even with #PedalAssist I had trouble keeping up. And my left hand was numb. #CarpalTunnelSyndrome
Now that Big Bike ⚪️🚲 has new 🔋 + the old 🔋 as backup, I was hopeful I'd make it all the way. Well, I didn't get to find out. I was suffering enough already and saw a #Starbucks. That was my cue. I said goodbye and ditched the group. 😅

A local bike shop is trying to get camping regulations in NY state changed to make hike/bike camping as a group easier because the rules are currently written with only drivers in mind.
Sure, it says ‘telephone’, but it’s more of a spiritual or metaphorical phone booth you can enter and just… reach out with your mind.

A European, a Canadian, and a Russian walked into a bar.

The Russian was out of gas.
I just finished this dress! :)
(I love sewing pockets on dresses, POCKETS ARE POWER)
It’s the Solstice Dress from Folkstead(.com). Wonderful pattern! This is my second one, the first was a very wearable toile. This pattern goes from XXS to 5X and isn’t a complicated sew, would be good for beginners.
Edited to add: the bottom hem is the selvage! I love pretty selvages and it hurts me to cut them off “just because,” so I try to incorporate them wherever I can!
