Hello, world!

We are FAFO, a non-profit semiconductor and analytical chemistry research lab in Munich.

We exist to bring together people and tools necessary to advance not the cutting edge of manufacturing, but the cutting edge of making bathtub semiconductors and other Weird Hacks in your local hackerspace.

We've just rented out our first location and brought in a gorgeous 1980s JEOL T330A SEM. Restoring it to working condition is our first project, and this is where we'll keep you posted.

Tänä vuonna kantarellit ovat aikaisessa! This year chantarelles came early! I picked these up almost from my backyard. #mushrooms #cooking #suomimastodon #finland

I was this old when I realized that there's a #LARP in #soLARPunk

I think role playing future communities with their own, horizontal structures, climate problems and hopes might be a fine way of participating in the movement!

I went on the www.gov.uk site yesterday, for a boring car tax thing. The CSS failed to load but everything was still clear and usable. I didn't even feel the need to refresh. That's great design in my book.

Flint, MI is giving pregnant residents a “cash prescription” of $1500 during pregnancy and $500/mo for the 1st year of the baby’s life. “In Flint, the poorest city in [Michigan], we are on track to eliminating infant poverty.” https://www.michiganpublic.org/health/2024-07-11/every-new-mom-in-flint-is-getting-cash-aid-now-other-cities-want-to-try-it-too

Everybody in a UBI study could spend it all on drugs & I would still support UBI.

Stop asking virtue of the poor which you don’t of the rich.

Public libraries are where I learned to grow my own food, make my own compost, 3-D print replacement parts for broken household items, Zen Doodle, participate in Spanish language conversation groups to build skills, got help creating the resume & cover letter that got me my dream job, get free access to language learning apps, & more. Libraries are books, but they’re so much more than that. Librarians are under attack for a reason. They’re our accomplices. Seriously, get your library card.

I am informed that my photos of Odin are the only thing holding the internet together; hopefully this shot of him asleep on the balcony is enough to prevent another nine million bluescreens tonight
