who else is tuning in to the @iffybooks #permacomputing stream today?? i'm super excited!!!

(if you missed their announcement: it's at 1pm edt!! iffybooks is providing a mumble stream!)

Sharing these resources via abortionfunds.org if you need an abortion or if you have $ to support these funds.

This Sunday (6/26, 1pm EDT) we're hosting a #permacomputing meetup at Iffy Books. If you aren't in Philly, you can join us remotely via Mumble audio stream! https://iffybooks.net/event/permacomputing-meetup-june/

@iffybooks I was considering attending, but instead I'll be protesting the erosion of abortion rights, and I suspect many others who would otherwise attend will be similarly busy.

@iffybooks @viznut @skyfaller If you like, you could also use this design if you think it'd fit.

The idea of this one is that it's a design like viznut's but using stroke paths with very low kolmogorov complexity.

@iffybooks also have some cool ones! Mainly on computing things, but also some mending and gardening

My favourite! Tons of little mini zines on a wide variety of science themes https://asyang.wixsite.com/small-science

The core lesson, that we'd better start learning fast, is that no private corporation, no private collector, no private _anything_ is an effective long-term steward of culture, knowledge, the public trust or the public good, and the whole notion of "intellectual property" isn't just theft, it's also, eventually, arson.
