Thinking in green.
Obviously, the protests over Iran’s recent election fiasco are everywhere in the news and media lately, and especially Twitter.
I think about Iran all the time, all the people who are just like me, wanting a voice in their government, fighting with their very lives for their votes to be counted legitimately. Rights that we take for granted in the United States are on the “negotiation” (such as it is) table in Iran.
I have been thinking about them a lot, and following progress on Twitter, supporting my brother-in-law’s efforts to set up proxy servers, and praying for the protesters. But I haven’t been writing because, unlike in all my personal reflections, I absolutely don’t know what to say. I don’t want to fill this space with clichés.
(If you’re interested in helping out with our proxy server efforts, let me know. I’ll email you what limited information I have so far. Rest assured your $10 or $20, or whatever you could afford to offer, would go a very long way.)

I am obsessed, and I am almost to the point of making myself sick. I cried last night three times when speaking of the stuff that is going on there. They’re just like me. I can’t stop internalizing it. It upsets me SO much.
I cannot sleep, I feel sick a lot. I wish I could just turn it off. I can’t.
So, I feel with you. And if I can give you $20 in July (when I’ll be down) I’d love to support the efforts.

BTW, when I say “turn it off,” I mean the fact that I am paying attention to it, that I do follow it on twitter every morning. I wish I could turn off my compassion. I can’t.
