In a world of fast fashion and same-day delivery, it is often cheaper to buy a new coat than to fix a zipper. Or easier to toss out an old blender rather than swap out a blown fuse. But for those who would like to give their items some more life – either for environmental or sentimental reasons –there’s the Fix-It Clinic. The Hennepin County Fix-It Clinic is a monthly gathering where volunteer ‘fixers’ work hand-in-hand with people to revive their broken items. Reporter Matthew Schneeman attended one of Hennepin County’s clinics for KFAI to see how they work.

Meet the "fixers" who volunteer to help you repair appliances, clothing, and more

Lyrics:


Pst.
Grave to the cradle,
Risen from the fatal
Want to know a secret?

(God is a promise keeper)
In the beginning was the Word,
And the Word was with God,
And the Word was God.

The Word was God.
The Son of Man,
The appropriated Lamb,
Bloodshed it began,
It began!
The plan of salvation began,
Depart from me pegan,
Evolve from caveman?
You got a different dad,
And it's not the milkman.

Sin weighing heavy,
Shackled in the dark
Cross on His back,
Mission left a mark,
Left a mark.

Now let me hit the mark.

Now let me hit the mark.

Yea,
Redemption,
Salvation,
Resurrected role call,
You paid in full, 
Walked free,
Watch these chains fall,

What has been given to me
I’ll share with you,
Christ-likeness imaging,
(Next to kin)
Free from sin,
That’s why you're confused.
God’s production.
I’m being used,
Here’s some truths,
I won’t refuse.
I give them to you,
So recycle, rinse and reuse
Practice the lie of self-righteous abuse,
Hang yourself by an invisible noose.

Want to know a secret?

(God is a promise keeper)
In the beginning was the Word,
And the Word was with God,
And the Word was God.

The Word was God.
The Word was God.
The Son of Man,
The appropriated Lamb,
Bloodshed it began,
It began!
The plan of salvation began,
Depart from me pegan,
Evolve from caveman?
You got a different dad,
And it's not the milkman.

Sin weighing heavy,
Shackled in the dark
Cross on His back,
Mission left a mark,
Left a mark.

Now let me hit the mark.
Wait,
Now let me hit the mark.

Redemption,
Salvation,
Resurrected role call,
You paid in full, 
Walked free,
Watch these chains fall

What has been given to me
I’ll share with you,
Christ-likeness imaging,
(Next to kin)
Free from sin

That’s why you're confused.
God’s production.
I’m being used,
Here’s some truths,
I won’t refuse.
I give them to you,
So recycle, rinse and reuse
Practice the lie of self-righteous abuse,
Hang yourself by an invisible noose.

Hang yourself by an invisible noose.
Hang yourself by being used.
Here’s some truths,
I won’t refuse.
I give them to you,
So recycle, rinse and reuse
Practice the lie of self-righteous abuse,
Hang yourself by an invisible noose.

Hang yourself by an invisible noose.

Increasingly we experience devestating events due to climate change, from wildfires to hurricanes & cyclone bombs, to extreme heat events and floods. The 10 hottest years on record ever, 2014-2024, seriously affected biodiversity in our oceans. CO2 levels indicated in ice core samples show the trapped CO2 levels throughout the millenia, and now we have a "hockey stick" of change. Why? What happened? And what can we do about it?

Don Hess (Climate Action Group, Grass Roots Institute in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, CA) shares several ways we can make a difference, from reducing carbon emissions in our choice of cars (how new EVs or hybrids can make a difference), to what we choose to eat (maybe try some plant-based options), to how we manage the energy in our homes (solar/battery options), especially what we do during peak energy-consumption hours.  What other small changes could we possibly make? GRI is a network of friends and neighbors studying, promoting, and working to carry out progressive solutions for the Common Good. The Institute grew out of the Mendocino Coast Chapter of the Alliance for Democracy, a 501(c)3 non-profit.

Lyrics

Ugugh... "inaudible sith chatter"

More sith colour for you
Orange and black
It's cronnies spoke
It took us back
EARTH says single use plastics attack your very fabrics existence!
Dumb hacks!

More water, energy, resources, for you!
To suck down your coke in a minute or two.
You care not for seabeds!
Mycelium or life
Enjoy getting 'wider' with your wife

Ecology, 
Balanced.
Real living.
It's the real world...
Tarnished by straws and bags
Burned is recycling in your single use mind
Use it again or bye bye human kind
Use it again or bye bye human kind

More water, energy, resources, for you!
To suck down your coke in a minute or two.
You care not for seabeds!
Mycelium or life
Enjoy getting 'wider' with your wife

Ecology, 
Balanced.
Real living.
It's the real world...
Tarnished by straws and bags
Burned is recycling in your single use mind
Ecology, 
Balanced.
Real living.
It's the real world...
Tarnished by straws and bags
Burned is recycling in your single use mind

Notes
For this tune in my head I'm asking... Why did 'it' reverse US laws on single use plastics... so anger turned to comedy and I decided to sing a song sith supporters might get... It's gonna take a while to fix what it breaks... so very very tiny trump is like Earth's real life child Chucky... Except hes Orange...Enough about the Russians...

Check out Joe Stroffolino on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/BUnH5s4Ari5nvQo27
Meet some real America. Joe is a fabulous artist. Like most humans also hopes for things to get better and that's absolutely reflected in his music and lyrics. It was Joes lyrics I was thinking of when trying to write this. Stylishly he is very skillful at being literal with explanation but retaining the poetry and rides the line of what's too much which a lovely subtlety.

So thanks Joe... You inspired this just being you. Nice one 🫶🏼🔆



Waffle...
Evolution says survival of 'the fittest'
As part of our beings that extends to mind...
Weak minds will die out because their ideas are weak... It's evolution baby. Just because you Think! Ughhh the world of trump is right.... Evolution doesn't give a shit! You're fucked unless you change and look at trump for what it is or your ideas will burn away along with him... You'd do well to stop labeling everything too and bolting yourself to one label on everything. That's what religions did and caused wars because of for millenia. I am an Earthling human. That's it. Now let's all play properly. SCIENTIFICALLY

Think Critically for yourself. It's all amazing and it's right there. You just need to burst the bubble of lies first. A good start would be stop.listening to times most prolific lier. Orange Sith


My own example... After 911... I too, for a very short period of time, believed thermite brought down the twin towers. I was in the same mode as Trump supporters. Too afraid of my own individual ineptitude to start soul searching that a bigger global problem was the perfect escape. Looking out instead of looking in. If you are open to believing anything you are told... start believing something and then get that confirmed by another human. You've got yourself a cult. That's all... the only difference this time is that you have managed to form the biggest cult of bullshit ever...It will still burn away. Don't let other humans confirm a bias you haven't genuinely figured out to be real... How qualified that person is in the subject is a good gauge on whether you should believe them or not!

That said obviously take everything I say with a pinch of salt! I play guitar and sing! So for climate change you might find James Lovelace a good reliable source for building your ideas about Earth and how we balance ourselves properly as part of the planet 🫶🏼 Our only Planet we're ever going to enjoy! Don't listen to clowns talking about terraforming planets! Let's figure out and master Earth. Then in a couple of hundred years our Grandkids can worry about other planets safely

Single Use Plastics

When you throw something away, it’s gone as far as you are concerned. But in fact, it’s still around and will most likely end up in a landfill. Landfills are where solid waste goes to build up into unpleasant mounds and where organic waste, like food that is thrown away, goes to fester and decompose, giving off huge amounts of methane gas. Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases and a big contributor to climate change.

Whether you call it trash, waste or garbage, it’s in our interest to reduce the amount we generate, so that less is sent to landfills. In this program, we are getting to zero waste with Richard McHale, Director of Austin Resource Recovery.

MinneCulture is KFAI’s award-winning audio storytelling program. We produce audio documentaries exploring Minnesota’s art, culture, and history — stories about musical sensations, small town heroes, cultural icons, local lore, and everything in between.

Welcome to RESILIENT EARTH RADIO where we host speakers from the United States and around the world to talk about critical issues facing our planet and the positive actions people are taking. We also let our listeners learn how they can get involved and make a difference. Hosts are Leigh Anne Lindsey, Producer @ Sea Storm Studios and Founder of Planet Centric Media, along with Scott & Tree Mercer, Founders of Mendonoma Whale & Seal Study which gathers scientific data that is distributed to other organizations like NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). A focus of this podcast series are Nature-Based Economies that help rebalance the Earth and raise awareness about the value of whales, elephants, mangroves, seagrass, the deep seas, waterways and forests - our natural world - towards that rebalancing. This addresses the effects of our own human-caused climate change, and what we can do about it - from simple steps to grand gestures! Global experts, citizen scientists, activists, fisher folk, and educators examine and explain ciritical issues facing our planet and actions people are taking to mitigate and rebalance climate. We discuss the critical role of carbon storage, and how it is essential for all life forms on earth.  This awareness could lead to new laws, policies and procedures to help protect these valuable resources, and encourage economies around them to replace the existing exploitation of oceans, forests, and animals.

Taking positive action, and getting people involved, that's our goal.

LA VEUVE ELECTRO is Pascal Leroux, commandeer of many-buttoned sound and rhythm machines, self-professed android extra-terrestrial. In black, leather and lace he chisels a musical sound that’s profoundly electro in the pure sense of the word. Positively electric on stage and aided by talented visual artist VJ DRONE, LA VEUVE ELECTRO accompanies his dance music with a voice that is deliberately distorted and barely human. LA VEUVE ELECTRO has been described as 80’s revival with an aftertaste of non-repentant punk, reflecting Pascal’s musical past in early 80’s punk rock group ‘RAFF’, and later electronic rock group ‘MEDIKAO’ who famously supported NOIR DESIR at the Olympia in Paris

Howdy. Carl Culliton here from Ireland. Artist name The Beautiful Dark. I toyed with the idea of changing it but doesn't feel right after 24 hours so... Back to TBD.. Thanks for all the support and inpiration. It's infinitely appreciated

Personally I don't play the SoundCloud game of equal reciprocation. Every time my life as a Dad allows me to listen to a song... I listen to the whole song as I want to give genuine feedback and also learn as much as I can whilst here. So sorry if I don't listen and like and repost loads of your songs. Id prefer to support people by actually helping with the skills I've developed and give less frequent yet valuable feedback where possible then just playing the game of likes. That said I completely understand and appreciate people that decide to do that, that's you and you are as amazing as I am so no judgement. I just want to be clear with you that you won't get any artificial spreading of your music from here but you'll get my honest opinion based on what I imagine you were aiming for. This has helped me transcend musical taste in a way. I'm always imagining what you wanted as opposed to what I like. This has opened up some serious musical doors for me, embracing music that way instead of pre judging it based on what I've already heard... Lose the taste and expand your horizons is maybe what it is suggesting... I've always been a multi genre artist but this has activated multiple genre from an artistic point of view on steroids for TBD! A musical tri sexual.... The Get to Down! 🫡

Let's let the music do the talking!

😆...

Speaking of the music doing the talking. Make sure you use AI to enhance the development of your skill. Getting a result delivered to you that doesn't reflect your ability isn't soulful. Be honest with yourself and be honest about what technology is and how it has come to be. There is a very questionable built in theft of our spirited art works that has been used to build current LLMs so the onus is on each of us as individuals to decide both whether or not we feed that beast at all and how we let that technology feed and enhance or limit our beings...

I've had mine and I decided for now... Only my fingers and voice will feed my music. AI needs to be made conscientiously for me to embrace it at all. I may look at it for DAW automation in the future as that will free up my fingers to make better songs but I'll wait until politicians do their jobs (we'll be waiting a while no doubt) and clean it up for all of us!

Regulate AI NOW so we can label music properly
