I have been avoiding it. Like the fucking plague. Because, frankly, there's nothing so important in my life it has to be shared 24/7.

But I just picked this up from a friend I had back at Vassar, Mike Solomon, and I reprint here in entirety:

If you're on Twitter, set your location to Tehran & your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying to shut down Iranians' access to the internet. Cut & paste & pass it on.

I am going to join Twitter now. So should you.

Edited to add: @ruckawriter, if you want to follow me there.
