"Solarpunk seeks to rewild our imaginations, captivate us with success stories from the near future, ease our psychic burden, & motivate us toward constructive action. It also crucially implies that the landscape of our collective imagination is not a monoculture; it should be an abundant ecosystem"
Solarpunk is not escapism. It is rehearsal. By imagining a civilization where human dignity and ecological flourishing coexist, we begin the serious work of building it. The future must be made desirable before it can be made real. #Solarpunk #EcologicalCivilization

"If we don't acknowledge our grief, then we fall into despair. If we don't take action, we fall into despair. And we know that grief, and allowing it to be present and taking action, is the antidote to despair." -Chani Nicholas
“Winter Witness”, 30x30 acrylic on canvas. A tribute to the watchers of Minnesota and all the other cities where we are trying to keep the beasts accountable. Not sure if it’s done but getting there.
It is up to us to imagine, create and nurture the world(s) we want to live in! No one is coming to save us! We will be our own saviors!
My retirement account is a log I found in the woods that grows oyster mushrooms every year
Strange that my stomach is so chill with ginger because my mouth thinks it’s the craziest thing it’s ever tasted
cool herby thing i learned recently: - garlic (Allium sativum) can help the body fight a whole host of microbial infections (viral, bacterial, fungal, and even parasitic) -which most of us probably already know -however ALSO
First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...
California cracks down on water theft but spares data centers from disclosing how much they use
