Word of mouth is cool, but what if we actually published a guide on how to request help from us? If you're Trans or Non-binary in the Cardiff area we can fix most tech free! πŸ‘‡ πŸ‘‡
Trans Tech Tent: Repair Requests. 1. DM us your problem, we'll tell you if we can fix it. 2. Drop your device off, at Queer Emporium or the Tech Tent in Canton. 3. Tell us it's ready for pickup. 4. Done!

A small reminder to the community: Stop trying to appeal the conscience of people who have none. The people who made these decisions know there is collateral damage, it makes them just as happy. Instead, ask what you can do in your communities to build resilience.

Join communities and grow into them, develop skills that help the people around you. Learn how to fix electronics, file taxes, speak other languages; fill the gaps you see in your community and build relationships with other marginalised groups. Share your experiences.

Learn to not burn yourself out, learn to campaign long term instead of clustering around each new emergency. Know who is taking your rights away, and who is just being played against you with no say in the matter.

So we put this into our drafts 2 years ago... Anyway we're doing socials again for obvious reasons, and we've been doing repairs basically non-stop this whole time anyway!

Today I'm releasing my (mini) zine detailing the work I did with @TransTechTent last summer (tech needs for trans people in Wales, and how the Tent is helping to level the playing field)! Link: mun-tonsi.net/t3-zine
Three copies of my zine stacked on top of each other, the front page is visible and has the title "Building queer technology counterpublics: the case of the Trans Tech Tent" and contains information about the project I had undertaken.

We're helping with a research project, and we'd love to hear the outputs from it to improve our services! If you've received help or advice from any of us at T3, we'd appreciate if you could get in touch with Genevieve to arrange an interview to discuss your experiences !
An infographic for the study, looking into how tech projects affect the digital divide for trans people in South Wales. The study involves hosting interviews with service users about their experiences with the Trans Tech Tent to build a better picture of how the community could improve, and what works. For more - contact Genevive Clifford at 2004599@swansea.ac.uk. Participants should be 18 , have used the services of the Trans Tech Tent (or volunteered) and live in Wales.

It wouldn't be a trans tech tent without some kind of tech shenanigans going on. So we decided to protect some screens for the community, absolutely free!

That's right we fixed a car! Not content with phones and laptops, one of our amazing panda helpers has shared their mechanical expertise to help a queer in need. Tech is all about keeping us connected and bringing us closer and that includes big scary metal boxes with wheels :3

Times are tough for us all right now, which makes asking for help so much harder even if it's needed more than ever. If you have the means to help, and would like to ensure that trans people in Wales can access the support they need to then please visit buff.ly/3efqFFY
The Cost of Living, The cost of living crisis has hit everyone, but those in marginalised communities most of all. A broken phone or laptop can mean an unaffordable expense at this time or even a loss of income, that's why the work we do is so crucial when staying connected is more important than ever. visit transtechtent.com to find out more

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all open queers, closet queers, and full camo tactical queers. We thought we'd increase local visibility by sharing our map of pride events around Wales 3 buff.ly/3JY8S5q

What an incredible year it's been, none of this would have been possible without the help of our wonderful team of volunteers, or the financial support from you, the community. To find out more about how you can support us too visit buff.ly/3oCwm5x
An Incredible Year! Thanks to the wonderful work of our fantastic volunteers, and the generous support of the community, we were able to repair over 50 pieces of tech on the last 12 months. That's over 50 trans people able to stay connected, find support, and keep working, (usually) free of charge
