solarpunk

I am so so divided on if I should vote for biden or not. I wanna vote third party to at least do something or should I just stay home and protest and advocate where I can? Thoughts?

Not my OC but what I’ve believed for years: there’s no conflict between reducing your own environmental impact and holding corporations responsible. We hold corps responsible for the environment by creating a societal ethos of environmental responsibility that forces corporations to serve the people’s needs or go bankrupt...

Wood Wide Web: Already a term in biology. “Research has shown that beneath every forest and wood there is a complex underground web of roots, fungi and bacteria helping to connect trees and plants to one another. This subterranean social network, nearly 500 million years old, has become known as the “wood wide web”.”...

Capitalism is obviously destroyed but I read very little on “money”.

I’m a developer for an open-world tabletop RPG called Fully Automated! The goal is to create a free, open-source game that can be to solarpunk what D&D is to fantasy and Shadowrun to cyberpunk. And the first version is mostly done. It’s got:...

My first solarpunk novel releases today. You can discover Murder in the Tool Library at eBook retailers. For a paperback like I’m holding, you’ll have to wait until next week. (Barnes and Noble did me dirty.)

Weird title, I know. But I’ve recently found out that I’m pregnant with my first child. It’s an equal mix of anxiety, excitement, and anger at just how consumeristic having a goddamn baby is. So I’m curious how my fellow Solarpunks would handle the introduction of a new small mammal into their world....

I’m dancing-on-photons happy to reveal the cover by Rita Fei for my upcoming solarpunk novel, Murder in the Tool Library. You can pre-order it on this site as well as on some more mainstream ones. The paperbook will be available on Barnes and Noble closer to the release date on Dec 8th.

I’m planning out a photobash (hopefully part of a set) showcasing options and possibilities for a more solarpunk world. My goal for these is for them to be a more practical and actionable view of a solarpunk society, more than just green skyscrapers or super scifi-looking places. I’m mostly setting these in a post-crumbles...

A few times I’ve come upon the power of a common language in the last few days....

Hi friends and comrades! What are you working on these days? I’m really interested in praxis and in new ideas of what to do in real life to advance towards a solarpunk future....

This is a Rant. I know I should write my own fiction with blackjack and hookers but just let me get it out of my system....

I saw an effort at trying to systematize solarpunk elsewhere that felt a bit confused, but it reminded me of this. I’m not typically inclined to try to taxonamize everything, but I’ll admit that the appeal definitely isn’t lost on me. This felt useful.

I posted one of my stories here and got as reply that it was bio-punk, because it introduced the Fediverse as a fungi-network....

Scientists in Belgrade came up with the idea of “planting” large tanks of water and algae in places where trees can’t grow. The tanks are 10-50x more efficient than a normal tree for the space it takes up and is in general highly sustainable, even creating excellent fertilizer in the process. You can skip about halfway...

A blog post about my London-based solar panels and battery.

As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it’s juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?...

I’m sketching another photobash, this time a scene of a solarpunk kitchen, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss an opportunity to include something cool....

It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Nowhere is this more visible than on the shelves of game shops, where our choices for the future are dystopia, apocalypse, and space. Fully Automated is an open source tabletop RPG project developing a free game meant to provide for solarpunk what Dungeons...
