Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

* CUT OUT AND TAPE NEAR YOUR COMPUTER OR TV BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK 1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong. 2. Don't trust anonymous sources. 3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 4. There's almost never a second shooter. 5. Pay attention to the language the media uses. • "We are getting reports"... could mean anything. • "We are seeking confirmation". "... means they don't have it. • "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb. 6. Look for news outlets close to the incident. 7. Compare multiple sources. 8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers. 9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you. ON THE MEDIA

Want greener, cooler cities that are a “breath of fresh air?“ In case you thought Paris wasn’t ambitious enough this weekend, on top of our new exhibition, they opened the wonderful new “Urban Forest” in the square in front of City Hall! Part of Mayor Anne Hidalgo and her great team’s brilliant urban greening strategy.
The path through the new urban forest, one of two on either side of the Square
In hot cities, people seek out shade and coolness
They’ve been popular even in the days before their official opening, already filled with people
Each of the two forests now frames the very big square, which is still big, but has an entirely different field now with the forests on either side

Just read "The Invention of Nature" by Andrea Wulf, an amazing biography of the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.

Humboldt himself is not that well known anymore but he essentially laid the groundwork for our current conception of nature and environmentalism.

Humboldt traveled in the Americas and detailed the environmental catastrophe of colonialism in the early 19th century - his observations were strangely prescient and still relevant today.

"When he listed the three ways in which the human species was affecting the climate, he named deforestation, ruthless irrigation and, perhaps most prophetically, the 'great masses of steam and gas' produced in the industrial centres."

It appears to be like a "kiss of death" for @nextcloud to promote or advertise a specific app. Before I learned this, I was excited when the "Social" app was advertised because that's a good function to add to a private community server like Nextcloud, but now it's dead and abandoned.

Now that "Maps" has been advertised, we see it, too, has fallen behind in development and has no stable version for the current version of #Nextcloud.

Nextcloud developers kill off apps with platform instability.

The men are dressed in togas and one is handing the other a scroll. The other man is behind a desk that says "Library of Alexandria."

This is tough to talk about, but we'll need some help to keep Iffy Books going. Here's a letter we've been circulating that explains the situation: iffybooks.net/a-letter-from-st…
A letter from Steve at Iffy Books June 13, 2025 In 2021 we were pushing anti-blockchain arguments. In 2022 we were pushing solar-powered music and encrypted mesh chat. We’ve been against LLMs since before ChatGPT came along, and we hope we’re around to dance on its grave. Iffy Books is the kind of place that feels like it shouldn’t exist in the center of a big city like Philly. How have we kept it going for so long? • With lots of help from a community of volunteers, donors, and book-buying folks. • By skating on very thin ice money-wise.
We’ve grown the shop slowly, avoiding big expenses and mostly relying on donated furniture and equipment. We’ve tried to stick to our DIY, anticapitalist ideals even when it doesn’t make business sense. The hope has been that people will be into what we’re doing and support us in the long term. Iffy Books has been open for four years, now, and helping make it happen has been very fun and satisfying. I’m proud that we’ve grown to serve as many people as we do, and folks really seem to appreciate that we’re here. We’re still breaking even financially, however. We make enough from books and kits to pay for rent and expenses at the shop, but that’s it. Nobody’s getting paid.
The ice has been thin for a long time, and for me it’s finally broken through. I’ve been living on former retirement money for the past year and a half, and I’m pretty much completely out of resources. I don’t know if I’ll have enough to cover rent for July at the apartment I share with my 6-year-old. It’s painful to say it, but that’s where I’m at. Also, our lease at Iffy Books ends in November. Which means we have until the end of August to decide whether or not to renew. If you appreciate what we’re doing at Iffy Books and you want us to stick around, now is your moment to help. If you have the money to spare, you can make a recurring donation through Patreon (https://patreon.com/iffybooks). If you’re already a Patreon supporter, consider jumping to the next tier. You can also make a one-time donation through Venmo (@iffybooks).
If enough people are willing to chip in, it may be possible for the shop to continue in its current form. This is plan A. In this scenario, we’d use money from Patreon to pay me, Mattie, and other helpers an hourly wage so we can cover our personal bills. We’d need 200–300 Patreon supporters to make it work, which may or may not be possible. The next option is for me to take a part-time job to pay my own bills, and do my best to keep the shop running. We’d end up with shorter hours and fewer events, which may make it tough to cover rent at the shop. But volunteers can keep running their events, and we’ll make the best of it. The third option is to close the shop when our lease ends in November. On the plus side, we can all remember Iffy Books as a beautiful thing that never got corrupted. And I can get a day job with benefits (which I really don’t want to do, but stability has its appeal). The party would be over though. What do y’all want to do? -- Steve McLaughlin Iffy Books 404 S. 20th St., PHL https://iffybooks.net

🎇 Help save Philly's local solarpunk bookstore! Iffy Books, which has offered everything from books on permaculture to first aid workshops to open hours for soldering assistance, needs your help. Please share this letter widely!

I've been grateful for the opportunity this space offered me to rekindle my relationship with digital art for merch and run solar art and queer zine workshops. Iffy Books is irreplaceable in our community. To keep offering programs and resources that foster climate activism, right to repair, and skill sharing in Philly, we need to take action now.
