How the Toy Swap works

Donate (optional, but awesome).
- Drop off toys and goodies the week before the event at EFPC or Rutabaga Toy Library to get $5 off your bag.

Show up on Saturday.
- Check in at the door, grab your ticket, and get to “shopping” the swap.

Fill your bag.
- Browse toys, books, games, decor, and stocking stuffers for all ages and fill your bag to the brim.

Feel good.
- You’re keeping great stuff in circulation, skipping new manufacturing and extra waste, and supporting Rutabaga’s Scholarship Fund.


How to Donate

To help us set up thoughtfully, please drop off donations ahead of time (starting 4/20) rather than bringing them the day of the swap.

You can donate toys ahead of time in two ways:

Bin outside East Falls Presbyterian Church (by the entrance) @ 3800 Vaux Street, East Falls

At Rutabaga Toy Library during our open hours, listed here

We just ask that donations are:
✨ Clean
✨ In working condition
✨ With all important pieces

Basically, if it’s something you’d be happy to find at a swap, it’s perfect.


Volunteer & Get Early Access

We’d love some helping hands to make the swap magical.

- Friday: Sorting and setting up donated toys
- Saturday: Welcoming folks, keeping tables tidy, and supporting the flow of the event

As a thank you, volunteers get early access to shop the swap before doors open."

Bewegungskonferenz "Cables of Resistance" in Berlin" - "Eine antifaschistische Bewegung muss BigTech in den Fokus nehmen!", sagt Lars vom capulcu Kollektiv

Vom 10.-12. April 2026 fand in Berlin die Konferenz „Cables of Resistance“ statt, die rund 900 Aktivist:innen sowie unterschiedliche linke politische Gruppen zusammengeführt hat.

In einem Manifest das der Konferenz zugrunde lag, wird festgestellt, Big Tech zerstöre nicht nur unsere Gesellschaft sondern auch den Planeten. Ganz lebenspraktisch: in der Nähe von Frankfurt/a.M. wird ein eigenes Gaskraftwerk ein riesiges Rechenzentrum versorgen, nicht anders in Mainz oder im hessischen Birstein. Fossile Energien für die digitale Infrastruktur.

Für @RDL sprach ich mit Lars, einem der Teilnehmenden der Konferenz. Er ist im capulcu Kollektiv aktiv. Das capulcu Kollektiv ist eine Gruppe von technologie-kritischen Aktivist*innen und Hacktivist*innen.

Putin waging new #ColdWar on #Britain; no one is stopping him

#Russia’s strategic intent remains dismantling #European #security architecture. Blocked from frontal assaults on #NATO, #Putin is prioritising sub-threshold #warfare

By hovering over 60 fibre-optic #cables carrying 99% of #British #internet traffic, the #Russians intend to warn #UK. They are mapping co-ordinates to inflict #economic paralysis via deniable methods, such as accidental anchor dragging, without firing a shot ...

How AoNZ connects to the world via undersea cables - an excellent and easy read about what, where, and how.

Thanks Bill.

New Zealand's submarine cables have a direct economic impact

New Zealand depends on submarine cables to connect to the world. They carry everything: voice, internet data, streaming video and cloud traffic.
