You can join us in person at Iffy Books (404 S. 20th St.\, PHL) or via Jitsi Meet. \n➡️ Meetup Link\nFrom Permacomputing.net: Permacomputing is a more sustainable approach to computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology. In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward. If you want to know more\, please start reading about what is permacomputing in essence\, and then dive into its principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and Heikkilä (2023) URL:https://iffybooks.net/event/permacomputing-meetup/2024-04-28/ LOCATION:Iffy Books\, 404 S. 20th St.\, Philadelphia\, 19146\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Permacomputing_sm.gif ORGANIZER;CN="Iffy Books":MAILTO:iffybooks@iffybooks.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240428T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240428T173000 DTSTAMP:20260414T180940 CREATED:20240220T183130Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240424T225158Z UID:10000635-1714318200-1714325400@iffybooks.net SUMMARY:💬 Comics Workshop with Eleanor Barba DESCRIPTION:This workshop is for every level of drawing skill and is over the age of 16. Materials will be provided but feel free to bring your favorite drawing implements and sketchbooks. \nWhen my grandmother passed away\, I found sharing memories of her through comics helped my grieving process. In this workshop\, you can represent your grief or share a meaningful memory through sequential art. At the end\, you’ll have a simple but significant four-panel comic. \nFirst\, we will brainstorm a story or memory. It doesn’t have to be a memorial of a loved one\, but it could be the passing of a friendship or a job. We will take time to share and workshop our story. Then\, we’ll create a quick storyboard from your story and start with the final pieces\, sketching with pencils and detailing with markers. \nBefore I started creating comics\, I felt intimidated. Traditional forms and details in comics are outside my usual practice. This entry-level workshop will demystify the art format in a way that is personal to workshop attendees. Leaving the workshop\, you should feel encouraged that making comics\, or sequential art\, is not complicated and can be a way to journal\, process emotions\, and capture memories. \nAs a collective\, we don’t grieve enough. Part of resiliency is caring for ourselves and others during valleys so we can be stronger at our peaks. Writing\, drawing\, or combining both will help people process grief for a more resilient and softer future. \nRegister: URL:https://iffybooks.net/event/comics-workshop-april-28/ LOCATION:Iffy Books\, 404 S. 20th St.\, Philadelphia\, 19146\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Eleanor_Barba.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240501T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240501T210000 DTSTAMP:20260414T180940 CREATED:20240428T073426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240428T073612Z UID:10000942-1714590000-1714597200@iffybooks.net SUMMARY:🏴 One Book\, One Philadelphia: Anarcho-Curious with Wooden Shoe Books DESCRIPTION:Slash and his friends in True Biz present an image of anarchism rarely seen in the news.

This group is open to anyone committed to collective learning and liberation whether they are a member of Philly Socialists or not. We aim to tackle challenging theoretical texts together. Rather than finding ‘the correct reading’ of a text\, the goal of group is to collectively find tools from texts for creating a better world.
Philly Socialists is a political organization committed to creating a just and sustainable future for ourselves and our planet. As socialists\, we believe in freedom\, democracy\, and the right to basic human dignity. Capitalism denies us all these. Only revolutionary change that ends capitalism will win us the future we deserve. And only a massive\, organized force can get us there.

You can join us in person at Iffy Books (404 S. 20th St.\, PHL) or via Jitsi Meet. \n➡️ Meetup Link\nFrom Permacomputing.net: Permacomputing is a more sustainable approach to computer and network technology inspired by permaculture. Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in digital technology. In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste\, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach\, maximizing hardware lifespans\, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. We do this because humans are part of nature and technology is an extension of humans\, and we acknowledge that technology has been used to harm nature. We want to find out how we can practice good relations with the Earth by learning from ecological systems to leverage and re-center existing technologies and practices. We are also interested in investigating what a permacomputing way of life could be\, and what sort of transformative computational culture and aesthetics it could bring forward. If you want to know more\, please start reading about what is permacomputing in essence\, and then dive into its principles. \nPermacomputing Aesthetics: Potential and Limits of Design Constraints in Computational Culture by Mansoux\, Howell\, Barok\, and Heikkilä (2023) URL:https://iffybooks.net/event/permacomputing-meetup/2024-05-26/ LOCATION:Iffy Books\, 404 S. 20th St.\, Philadelphia\, 19146\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://iffybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Permacomputing_sm.gif ORGANIZER;CN="Iffy Books":MAILTO:iffybooks@iffybooks.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240529T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240529T170000 DTSTAMP:20260414T180940 CREATED:20240418T154900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240607T151102Z UID:10000939-1716987600-1717002000@iffybooks.net SUMMARY:🎵 Open Cassette Mixtape Session DESCRIPTION:Bring a playlist on your phone/computer and we’ll help you record it to an audio cassette tape.
