It’s honestly heartbreaking. The internet in Iran has been shut down for 76 days, yet hardly anyone talks about it or seems to care.

How much would you be able to endure under these conditions?

The other day, I asked a friend how he was surviving with the internet cut off. He simply replied, ‘I’m not making any income.’ It broke something inside me. 😥 I wonder if people truly understand that millions of Iranians are watching their lives and livelihoods collapse because of this shutdown. Today is the 69th day that most people in Iran have had no internet access.

Internet cut. Starlink confiscated. Users criminalized. A bitter reality of life here.

The regim is deliberately undermining people’s livelihoods. View quoted note →

🚨58 days of total nationwide internet blackout. Be Our Voice

I’ve really missed posting daily and interacting with you. Unfortunately, the internet is still inaccessible for about 98% of people, and the only way to stay connected is by purchasing limited access at a high cost. Because of this, I have to restrict my online time to a very small amount of data. Despite all these challenges and the difficulties of everyday life, another silk rug with a Bitcoin theme is currently being created, and I’ll share it here once it’s finished. At the same time, I’m working on a new design in the garden rug style-one that I believe will be among the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever created. As a final update, the custom rug I’ve been creating for one of the Nostriches-someone I’m grateful to have met and now call a friend through Nostr-is nearly complete. I may share a short teaser of the final stages, and I’ll definitely show you the finished piece.

"Free Solo" Alex Honnold is the best documentaries that I've watched before 🧗🏽‍♀️. Recommended

Today is my birthday 🎂 Life is short, don’t take it for granted.

I published my first yoga post on YouTube channel. Please subscribe and support my yoga journey. I couldn't shared original video here because of the internet limitations in Iran.

Seven weeks of total internet blackout for ninety million people. Would you tolerate even one hour without access?

When our planet is so beautiful, why do we keep choosing war?

Extremist hardliners have taken control of the country. For forty days, the internet has been almost completely cut off for more than ninety percent of the population, while access is sold on the black market at outrageous prices. Countless online businesses have collapsed. Unemployment is rising, companies are laying off workers, and families are being forced to sell their gold savings just to survive. People are powerless in the face of inflation and joblessness. No one can start a business, and no company has the ability to hire. Meanwhile, neighboring countries—including the UAE, once one of Iran’s largest trading partners-are canceling residency visas and deporting Iranians. Executions continue, and almost every day brings news of another young life taken. The regime uses its own people as a shield while spending their money on bombs and missiles. Iran stands in its most fragile moment. If this path continues, the result will be a poor, isolated nation.

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 🤍❤️🤍

War started

To be honest, I really need some orders from Nostriches right now. Your support during this difficult time would really help me get through this situation. 💜❤️🧡

After two months, this is the first time I’ve said GN 🌙 to you. But whenever I go to sleep, I think about the horrible situation we went through - and that we’re still going through 😔

I was thinking about sharing the newest design I created, but then I realized that to get through these days - and whatever lies ahead - I need yoga more than anything to keep my spirit strong.
