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...
'sup, comrades?...
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore...
Everybody who seems to be hustling, even in their free time:...
If you repeatedly have bad breath in the morning, try eating a salad last thing in the evening....
I plan to speak to my city council about creating a tool library, where citizens use their existing library card to checkout tools. To make the idea a bit more robust, I’m also planning to require citizens deposit something as collateral when checking out a tool....
Noticed that the slrpnk.net instance is down, had to create an account on lemmy.world to access lemmy. Anybody know what’s up?
I plan to speak to my city council about a tool library, and literally have citizens use their existing library card to checkout tools. To make the idea a bit more robust, I’m also planning to require citizens deposit something as collateral when checking out a tool....
A few times I’ve come upon the power of a common language in the last few days....
“But, you will be sitting on a pile of ruins.”...
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....
Title. I only ever hear about protest in the news, days after they happen. Does anybody know of anything that has nearby protests schedules? Or maybe an app that helps plan protests?...
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....
For a long while, I’d been picturing a society that handled reuse the way I do IRL - if you have a thing, you make it last as long as possible, fix it if you can, and when it’s finally worn out you find another use for it (even if just as component parts). I’d imagined the transfer of usable items would be handled...
Cyberpunk themed rooms are pretty common, but I don’t want to limit solarpunk discussion to just rooms; It could be as big as getting your city council to add a greenway, or as small as finding a nice desktop wallpaper. I’d like to hear about it. I’ll start off with a few of my own:...
I wrote a short story about the Fediverse, called “Breath Taker” / “Lamella on My Mind”, which is set in a Solarpunk world, in which, with the help of mushrooms, the so-called Fungiverse replaces traditional social media. I posted links to the short story in this community. Now I’m thinking how to continue to make this...
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”.”...
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....
Capitalism is obviously destroyed but I read very little on “money”.
Hi, I’m currently at an eco-village, and had a discussion about washing dishes per hand vs using a dishwasher. I was not completely sure, but have read somewhere, that a dishwasher is more efficient (in terms of energy and water usage). I just fact-checked that and indeed, when not being super careful by handwashing (no...
So I have noticed from reading through posts and my own research that there isn’t much information on how mental health and psychology would be taken care of and implemented. I could very well be wrong and would appreciate anyone’s pointing me to an initial resource in order to understand more. And if it hasn’t been...

Hey everyone, our Solarpunk book club community on Discord just finished reading the “Solarpunk Summers” anthology together and we are voting for our next book soon....
