🎇 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.

Attached: 4 images 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: https://iffybooks.net/a-letter-from-steve-at-iffy-books-june-13-2025/

Remote work and study is an effective way to reduce the spread of contagious infections, but not everyone has access to reliable networks. We want to shine a spotlight on offline-first software which allows people to synchronize data when they're connected to the internet, and to continue interacting with it when they're not.

We're interested in hearing about applications that support intermittent connectivity. Tell us about your success stories with the use of such software, or the failure cases with online-only apps that motivated your interest.

Share the lessons learnt from development:

* how you handle or prevent conflicts when replicating data

* the UX impacts of eventually-consistent models

* approaches for debugging unexpected behaviour in distributed systems

Kyrsten Sinema (democrat) voted against the $15 minimum wage bill passing through congress and did so with a “quirky” plaid up thumbs down. She uses progressivism as an aesthetic but is establishment to the core. She got notoriety and adoration when she was sworn into office by Pence using a law book instead of a bible.
