My #solarpunk story is free thru 5/20! 👀 BRIGHT GREEN FUTURES anthology by @susankayequinn.bsky.social 😍💝☀️@singingtotigers.bsky.social @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social @daniellearostegui.bsky.social @tkrex.bsky.social @renanbernardo.com. #climate #hope #justice #SFF susankayequinn.com/books/ancest...

Few things beat receiving an author copy! My climate adaptation story touches on heritage, food and family. Alongside fab tales by @renanbernardo.com @daniellearostegui.bsky.social @brightflame.bsky.social @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social @tkrex.bsky.social, edited by: @susankayequinn.bsky.social

The footage of bottom trawling alone makes the film worth watching. Let’s hope this destructive method of killing ocean creatures is outlawed soon.

As a former employee of the Library of Congress, this is disheartening to say the least.

Donald Trump just fired my dear friend Dr. Carla Hayden—the Librarian of Congress—via email. This is disgraceful. The Library of Congress represents some of the best America has to offer. Equal access to learning for all.

This is such a beautiful story. Instant community! Read it for free till 5/13 #solarpunk (Get the whole BRIGHT GREEN FUTURES anthology, edited by @susankayequinn.bsky.social ) #SFF #SpecLit #climate #hope

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

For a short time, this heart-warming #solarpunk story is FREE! lnk.to/BGF24S4website The theme word for this one is CLIMATE CONNECTIONS and you can hear @daniellearostegui.bsky.social & I discuss it on the latest Bright Green Futures podcast: lnk.to/BGFPodEp32 #booksky #climatesky #climatefiction

My cat just ate a fly that had found its way into my office. I'm simultaneously grateful and grossed out. 🐈 🪰

Check out this thread you all! Inaugural #solarpunk #book discussion: Bright Green Futures @renanbernardo.com @daniellearostegui.bsky.social @singingtotigers.bsky.social @sarenaulibarri.bsky.social @tkrex.bsky.social & me, editor: @susankayequinn.bsky.social #SFF #SpecLit #hope #climate #justice

I love @daniellearostegui.bsky.social' story in the anthology precisely because it says "do the work, right where you are". On the pod today we talk about Climate Connections and the *very cool* climate board game that's her giveaway item! brightgreenfutures.substack.com/p/ep-32-clim... #booksky

**Squeeees with excitement**

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

After reading @ayanaeliza.bsky.social's fantastic book, What If We Get It Right?, I was inspired to ask the same question of my local community in Asheville. The result? My new series with the Mountain Express: Imagining Asheville in 2050. I'd be so tickled if you checked it out.

we knew "efficiency" was a lie but you pretty much give it all away when you fire people who are working for free

This is truly terrifying.

Since the very first unions were founded hundreds of years ago, greedy corporations and their bosses have spun lies about them. Don't fall for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwwymqpS45c
