Is the Doomscroll getting you down? May I suggest taking some time and working your way through @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social's podcast "Demand Utopia". Instead of listening to the Doom and Gloom, consider ways to envision and proactively build a better way. solarpunkmagazine.com/demand-utopi...

Okay folks, here's the update on the situation. You can read the full story on our blog. But the person behind two of the stories we published in March, Issue 26 of Solarpunk Magazine misrepresented themself and used AI to generate the stories. Thse two stories have been removed from Issue 26.

We Unknowingly Published AI Slop, and We're Taking Accountability

Solarpunk Magazine has removed two stories due to strong evidence of AI use, in addition to other submission policy violaitons. We're taking accountability.

1/2 It's come to our attention that in an issue of Solarpunk Magazine published earlier this year, we may have unknowingly published work created by AI. We have given the person until tomorrow morning to provide us with documentation proving they wrote the story: early drafts, story notes, etc.

Adding some recent press to my website and struck, again, by this line from @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social's review ☀️ "the opposite of apocalypse isn't utopia or even optimism. Rather, it’s responsibility, relationship, and the long, messy, collective work of making a damaged world livable again."

very excited about this issue! i love this idea of blending solarpunk & horror. It's something the judges & I talked about while reading for ECO25, that we'd love to see how hopeful solarpunk futures & settings can be blended with horror/weird storytelling & darker premises. Can't wait to read this🔥
