🎇 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/post.lurk.org
I wrote a book. It’s called Drystone – A Life Rebuilt.
If you like:
Non-Fiction (but make it literary)
Stone (but as metaphor too)
Feminism (but quiet and feral)
Men (but as minor characters)
Land (but not romanticised)
Motherhood (but honest)
Then congratulations, this very good book is for you.

So… it’s coming together. My current book, Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Ethical Social Media is mostly drafted! I am drafting a conclusion, but for now, I figured I would provide an overview of the book…RWG (FOSS Academic)

"It's important to remember that the 'drugs' aren't just the pills we stash in our medicine cabinets. Ask yourself this: is it really acceptable that we only bothered to test sex differences for general anesthesia in 1999? Turns out women wake up faster than men, regardless of their age, weight or the dosage they've been given."
From Cat Bohannon's highly recommended book Eve.

Which is how I feel about the #desert in general & I’m fortunate to have visited this one, in particular: White Desert (aka ‘Farrafra’) in #Egypt .
Here’s a #book I wrote about my transporting desert experiences— with #photography 🙏🏼✨

I wonder if she inspired some of the characters in the second to last chapter of Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Years of Rice and Salt"? Can't tell much without giving spoilers away.
I know there's a lot of reading challenges going around, but I wanted to make one of my own centered around how to #DecolonizeYourBookshelf.
I wrote a little blog about the challenge on my site, would love for you to join along! I'm doing it and will share the books I pick for each category!

Wanted to share that my favorite book on disability this year is free / open access from Duke U Press!
Black Disability Politics by Sami Schalk deep dives into historical Black activism to examine how the work embodied Black disability politics, often in a way white disability activists have not recognized. The author also interviews some of today's Black #DisabilityJustice advocates.
