It's absolutely undeniable the system is broken. On so many levels in so many ways. And none of it is sustainable. But the status quo forces have quite the grip! Mostly on what we can imagine is possible. We need to get busy on imagining a different kind of world. Then get to work on it.

We need to do a better job at showing what solarpunk actually is and not letting the AI slop or the greenwash BS slide. So its not so easy to have these misunderstandings in the first place. We need to show the process of building the new in the shell of the old.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Nazis are the biggest losers who want to feel special. White supremacy offers simple falsehoods when true solutions can seem too complex. We need to both humiliate Nazis and do a better job of taking care of each other.

Please take heart amid all this awful news about AI there is a growing faction of the youngest people on this planet who HATE IT. My son, his peers, my high school students this summer-- they actively rebel against AI, which extends to writing by hand, reading paperbacks, even collecting VHS tapes.
