Volunteering in a public repair cafe is showing me that I need to grow a thicker skin to face the broken gendered and racial stereotypes people bring to the table along with their broken items.

Fun things I did at #37c3 thread.

Soldered the TV-B-Gone kit designed by Mitch Altman. It can turn off any TV as long as you are facing it. Yes, it works even in public!

I’m so excited! I made Victorian-inspired pockets attached to a waistband (w velcro). Women’s pockets in the 1800s could accommodate everything from gin flasks, telescopes, to botanical maps and sewing accessories‼️

I made my pockets comically large to make a point, so, it fits everything I need - my phone, charging cable, wallet, comb, hand sanitizer, a tiny notebook, and my e-reader. If this sticks, it will be a game changer 👜🚫
