With so many social programs being cut right now, and so many people in need, I'm changing up my sticker program a little.

You can still get one of my stickers, but I'm now *requiring* that folks donate to a food bank or similar. I'll still send you one at no cost with proof of donation!

We all need to pitch in if we're going to get through this together.

Two different sticker designs - one says "Govpunk" and the other says "Move Carefully and Fix Things"

So, I totally get "#greenwashing." But I also believe there ARE solutions to some of our problems out there. I've gathered up some hopeful articles about technology that's in use, or on the horizon, that could help solve some of our problems. I know I said I might not do much for this week's #SolarPunkSunday, but that has changed. I'll be posting on #SolarPunkSaturday with both hashtags. Some of this stuff is too good NOT to share. Seriously! And we need real hope, not just hype!

#introduction
Mastodon is my digital hygiene compromise, I'm still spending too much time online but now #bloomscrolling instead of doomscrolling. #mosstodon changed for ever the way I'm hiking.
I try to be deliberate in boosting beauty, from #pottery to #squirrel to #hopepunk because I believe we as a species cannot function on anger and fear alone.
Also #RightToRepair #TransRightsAreHumanRights #FightForLibraries #SmashPatriarchy and many more.
One day I'll manage a #MardiPatisserie !

Things I am not doing tonight:
1. Watching the #auspol leaders debate.
2. Watching Adolescence.

Things I am doing:
1. Finding some nice notepaper to write a letter which I will post to a friend tomorrow.
2. Making plans to see friends in another city in a couple of months.

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.

Hard to believe it's already been ten years. GNU Terry Pratchett.

(🎨 Illustration by Paul Kidby)

#GnuTerryPratchett #TerryPratchett #GNU #Quote #Quotes #Discworld #hope #HopePunk

2018 portrait of Terry Pratchett, as seen on the book jacket of Terry Pratchett HisWorld, the Official Exhibition Companion, depicting him wearing a large top hat out of which several of his Discworld characters are bursting out. Below there is the quote:

“Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country? Why does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards? Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place. Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-Fiction

A reminder that all three books in my series are available wide, so if you’re boycotting Amazon and love to read, I’ve got you covered. 😊

Image of an Arctic landscape with a spiral galaxy overhead. An ebook and paperback of The Calling are atop the snowy hill. At the top of the image are the words: In a future ice age, humanity emerges from its subterranean haven to discover they re no longer the dominant life form. At the bottom are the words:
THE CALLING: Humanity's wake-up call. Answer it or face extinction.
The book cover is mostly blues, white and orange. It shows a teen with an orange parka exiting a massive elevator at night. A gun is on their back, and they’re looking out in shock upon the arctic landscape and start sky. In the distance, a strange star in on the ground.

The lowest branches, sprawling left to right in the center of the tree, holds the Modern Era books. The Woodspell trilogy is here, its 3 volumes on the lefthand side. The sequels, Chasing Sunset (beneath the third book) and Midnight Crow (to the right and a bit lower) are on the trunk, plus a promo placeholder to the right of the second book which says Final Sequel 2025

Hättet ihr Lust, einen Hopepunk/Solarpunk-Buchclub zusammen zu machen?

Ich merke, es hilft mir so viel über konstruktive, positive Zukunftsvisionen zu lesen, und ich ziehe da viel Energie draus. Und es hilft mir zu lernen, was für eine Art Gesellschaft ich gerne hätte und mich zu ermutigen mich da durch kleine Gesten darauf hinzubewegen.

Would you like to make a Hopepunk/Solarpunk book club together?

I realise it helps me so much to read about constructive, positive visions of the future, and I draw a lot of energy from them. And it helps me to learn what kind of society I would like to live in and it encourages me to move towards it through small gestures.

I don't have hope. I do hope. It's an active process that I have to regularly commit to — hope not as an emotion but as a discipline. Hope for me is grounded in the reality that wondrous things happen alongside and parallel to the terrible. Every single day.

@oneoveralpha
A community is more than a political body, it is the culmination of wins, failures, homes, resources, gardens, libraries, people, animals and active hope for the future.

Hey #solarpunk people from outside of the Global North!

@SolarpunkConference would like to hear your voices on why they should allow you to watch their online #conference without having a credit card compatible with the US payment system!

Do we have anyone from #Ukraine or anywhere in #Africa ? #Brazil ? #India ? #southAmerica ? #southEastAsia ?

In my solarpunk novel series, I have a Trillionaires Exclusion Act that basically outlaws trillionaires because the world got fed up with their bullshit sometime in the 2030's (novel set in 2050). Musk might single-handedly accelerate that timetable.

Soy un frikazo valenciano de pueblo interesado en #FinalFantasyXIV #SavageWorlds #RetroGames #DnD #Warhammer #PixelArt #HopePunk #3dPrinting

Estoy 100% en contra del uso de IAs, de los NFT, las cripto-cosas, el capitalismo, machismo, capacitismo, edadismo y discursos de odio en general.

I can't say that I finished my #solarpunk #gamedesign blogpost, but I decided to finally share what I've scribbled so far:

https://alxd.org/notes-towards-a-solarpunk-game-design-overview.html#notes-towards-a-solarpunk-game-design-overview

Expect a long journey through a list of games called (or calling themselves) Solarpunk - whether video-, #BoardGame , #ttrpg , or other!

I welcome you to share your own titles, disagree and point out what I got wrong :)

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

aimnothyng
“I just think goodness is more interesting,” Morrison said. “Evil is constant. You can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. But you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good - and that’s complicated.”

chilewithcarnage
"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain." Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

wizardnuke
"Evil is boring. Right? | kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, | get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." Brennan Lee Mulligan

Ok, I need to think about different things.

Are there folks out there who can explain to me the difference between #hopePunk and #solarPunk - both in the genres and the tag use in the fedi. Plus any other defiantly optimistic tags and ideas going on out there. (I for one am delighted by #rewilding )

I am unlikely to have the cog to engage but will be lurking and pondering.

*waves arm expansively*

Invitation to infodumps and tangents.

I wanna explore this space, listen and dream.
