After 88 days of blackout, the internet is finally beginning to return. According to NetBlocks, around 86% of people now have access again - something that felt almost impossible not long ago. But this is still far from normal life. Heavy restrictions and filtering remain, and no one knows how long this fragile access will continue or when it could disappear again. What these months have done to people is difficult to fully describe. Businesses built over years have collapsed, many workers have lost their jobs, and the emotional and psychological weight forced onto people during this silence has been immense. The scale of the damage caused by this shutdown is truly hard to comprehend.

Seven weeks of total internet blackout for ninety million people. Would you tolerate even one hour without access? https://blossom.primal.net/d686ab2f4be9bbc7d935ae7d58be5328d495788c84e40e1cbcd29f3ea247eb08.jpg

Thank you all for your comforting messages. After a month, I was finally able to buy just one gigabyte of internet access at a very high price. Nostr was the first place where I could send a message to you. It is hard to believe how life passes in days like these. I will always remember that while I was working on a design, the sound of a bomb shook the windows of my home. When I tried to calm myself with a little yoga, another bomb struck somewhere on a building. And when I was preparing to sleep, the sound of fighter jets filled the sky above us. The result of this situation is rulers who govern with hatred and have set the stage for a war whose victims are defenseless people- the people who have only asked for a normal life. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. But what I have learned is to live every moment of my life with love, despite all the hardships that lie ahead, and to let love flow through everything I do. I may not be able to post as often as before, because the internet has been almost completely taken away from people. Only with small savings and at a very high cost can one briefly connect to the world. With love and respect Pegah 🤍❤️🤍
