How do you have a baby The Solarpunk Way? AKA, without using Amazon?

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....

Whole Earth Index - A nearly complete archive of the Whole Earth Catalog and all of its offshoots (wholeearth.info)

The Whole Earth Catalog: Access To Tools, was unique a publication in the 70’s that, in some ways, laid a little bit of groundwork for Solarpunk. It saw the use of technology as something that could empower individuals, and attempted to spread the knowledge of those empowering tools to all....

cover reveal for solarpunk mystery novel (slrpnk.net)

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.

Reuse as a sort of solarpunk societal default and the industry-scale operations that could enable it - worldbuilding question

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...

Should I add more chapters to my Fungiverse-Story, expand the story to a novel or retry in a completely new setting?

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...

Breath Taker - A revised version of the story I posted here earlier, which incorporates the Fediverse in a Solarpunk world, in which Plant-, Fungi-, Fish-People and Humans try to make a living (fungiverse.wordpress.com)

The idea is to have a piece of fiction that you can give a person to experience the Fediverse while also being moderately entertained in the process. So: would you give this story to a person that doesn’t know anything about the Fediverse? I would love to hear your opinions. I will try to incorporate feedback into the story...

Jellyfish As Food: A Narrative Review (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Studies toward a sustainable future conducted by international organizations uniformly agree about having to change some of our present consumer behaviors. Regarding food, suggestions include eating locally farmed, less industrialized and renewable food to promote health and circularity, and limiting waste. Jellyfish are...

Which alternate term for the Fediverse do you like best: Wood Wide Web, Fungal/Fungi Web or Fungiverse?

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”.”...
