Avec l'aide de Péhä, j'ai amélioré ma collection de logos #solarpunk. Merci! https://si3t.ch/misc/solarpunk/

Another place to find me (in Pittsburgh)... helping a friend launch her book! At a really cool low-tech event where we'll celebrate @mchristinebd.bsky.social's book (The Height of Land) and talking about #hopepunk & #solarpunk !

Book: https://www.bennerdixon.com/the-height-of-land
Event: Borland Garden, Pittsburgh, 4.12 (1-4pm)

The power of stories is, as @TaNehisiCoats said so well in #TheMessage, that they haunt you. Read these haunting words from fellow Canadian @acoyne (Andrew Coyne) & let them ruminate to places you didn’t know you had. Perhaps we will find ourselves seeds for a harvest to come #solarpunk

There's a lot of excellent #advice going around about how to start getting involved in #DirectAction. I'm also thinking about how to keep the #momentum going once we've started, and #build upon what we're doing.

If you've read a #radical book, you can summarize it in a more #accessible format like a #zine, and share what you learned.

If you've planted a #VictoryGarden, you can share what you've grown with your #local #MutualAid network.

Must say there is something beautiful and healing about seeing a bunch of strangers in a #repairCafe helping each other fix their rice cookers, format their laptops, sew their teddy bears, patch up their clothes, figure out ways to solve problems with what they've got right there and each other.

Highly recommended activity to restore faith in ordinary people when we see so much cruelty from the top.

If you're in the Pittsburgh area this spring/summer, come visit me at my table where I'll be selling my #solarpunk books https://brightgreenfutures.substack.com/p/episode-27-zines-cultural-change

NEW episode of the #podcast wherein I talk about some fun zines I've made (which you can download), how FLOW is a breakout #solarpunk film, and how cultural change flies under the radar long before it changes the world.

Wish we could have been there with them, but 5 Stelliform authors gathered in LA for an evening of hopeful storytelling hosted by Reckoning, Solarpunk Mag, The Fabulist, and ARLA. Dazzling the audience with optimistic visions of the future were Syr Beker, E.G. Condé, Sarena Ulibarri, Cynthia Zhang, & Michael J. DeLuca.

La propuesta cultural neoliberal de occidente es el día de la marmota. Musica remember de los 80, y reboots infinitos hechos de lo que vendió en esas décadas. Con IA y sin IA. El crecimiento infinito, y la repetición constante.
No. El mundo tiene límites.
Viva el #Solarpunk

Local group is selling rain barrels and accesories as a fundraiser. Any of yous have experience with rain collection and wanna give me some advice?

I'd like to set them up at my various downspouts and use mobile pumps and hoses to periodically pump out to a larger cluster of storage totes to water my food garden/orchard. We have heavy spring rains, irregular summer rains, and brutal winters here.

Ich habe ein utopisches #solarpunk #ttrpg geschrieben und zwei #kostenlos Einstiegsabenteuer veröffentlicht. Diesen Monat fehlen mir noch 6 Downloads zu den100. Bitte holt euch ein kostenloses Abenteuer und spielt es. Für meinen inneren Monk.

'Social Inflation'

I want to introduce a concept I'll call "social inflation", defined as 'the gradual thinning of the interpersonal resources of a society'. I imagine that the field of sociology has some language for this, but let's pretend I'm coming up with something new.

Economic inflation is something we are long familiar with, as it is just assumed that everything has to always get more expensive as 'standards of living' (for the wealthy) must perpetually increase (not wages, though). Social inflation, however, is impossible to define quantitatively. Leading up to times of turmoil there is a creeping breakdown of relationships that can snap suddenly, a socio-economic depression, to the point that our civil institutions can no longer function. Globally, we may be entering a socio-economic depression that will drastically reshape our states and institutions.

I believe that social and economic inflation, essentially the drawdown of resources that support our civic institutions, is driven by technological grifting and worker exploitation. #Luddite platforms simultaneously address workers rights and techno-scams. The foundation of #Luddism, to me, is addressing these two intertwining factors, by rejecting the hyper-technological 'growth' used to justify the 'trickle down' approach to economics that exploits workers and destroys the planet. #usPol #SolarPunk #Sociology #PoliticalScience

Last Oct, before the election started unraveling everything, I wrote a podcast about how to "do your part"--it was about the climate crisis, but *hello* that's still here, now with *added fascism*.

But the piece still works really well as a guide for knocking down some of the barrier to action and *get moving*.

Today feels like a good day to bring it back: https://brightgreenfutures.substack.com/p/ep-21-doing-your-part-in-the-climate
