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!)
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/
Change of plans! We’re screening Resist Climate Inaction today at 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM so y’all can make the protest at City Hall at 6:30. https://iffybooks.net/event/resist-climate-inaction-june-24
@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.
help pixel pay for college
hello friends
I just got my final bill for my last year of college. $17,200. I only get about $2,000 in loans. That still leaves $15,200.
I currently live with my transphobic parents and cannot sustain living here after school. I've paid for all of my schooling through working up to five jobs at a time up to now, but with each year that passes by, the school has been rolling back my financial aid and it has been very difficult to keep up. I'm still living on a meal a day.
If you'd be willing to toss coin to a neurodivergent, queer, trans, east/southeast asian person, my handles are below.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far.
Tonight at 7PM we're screening 'Resist Climate Inaction,' a 12-minute film about direct action from Blockade Australia. Bring a friend! https://iffybooks.net/event/resist-climate-inaction-june-24
@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.
The flower/CPU is @neauoire's version of a design by @viznut. Thanks to @skyfaller for recommending it. https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/108159824293658490
@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.
