Hey Denver, if you're free this weekend here's a solid in-person event to attend! www.mobilize.us/indivisibled...

Hey #solarpunk poets- seen this one? Upcoming deadline 4/15 for @rattlepoetry.bsky.social special issue Tribute to the Future “poems that imagine what’s ahead for humanity, the planet, or the self” rattle.com/page/calls/

I’ve seen clifi or solarpunk represented in these awards every year for a while now!

I know it’s been a busy week but there’s a new Mario movie out so don’t forget to check in with your Italian diaspora friends and thank you for your patience while we post our way through it

One of the most common questions I see about utopian fiction is how to introduce narrative conflict. This. Right here. Utopian fiction focuses on fixing systems and structures. But even in a perfect system, tensions can arise between the villager the needs of the village

I drive my solar-powered mobile habitat along the beaches of this strange, unpopulated planet, stopping as the sun goes down to watch unfamiliar constellations sparkling above the bioluminescent waves

I’m going to be launching a campaign to fund the second volume of my award winning anthology of Palestinian fantasy, science fiction, and horror in the next few days! Sign up to be notified when the campaign is live: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

I don’t generally post my food but the wine is kicking in and this pesto just turned out so freaking good so bada boom I guess

The 2026 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit is May 19-21 in Charlotte, NC, where leaders from across the food system will gather to discuss how to solve food waste. Grist readers get 10% off registration using the code GRIST10%. https://summit.refed.org/

Something important to do today. Make a comment. Make it loud and long. Let's make them understand that we're not okay with drill rigs ruining this incredible site.

New today from Reckoning X, "The Mouthful" by Hank La Rose, a delightful, weird, brief piece of stream-of-consciousness fiction whose premise we'll permit you the vote of confidence and distinct pleasure of figuring out yourself: reckoning.press/the-mouthful/

Finally. A radio interview where I didn't cringe at the sound of my voice or anything I said. Thanks for the chance to talk urchin ranching @klccoregon.bsky.social www.klcc.org/economy-busi...

It's that lovely time of year when I make more power than I use. I turn off the heat pump & manage temp with open windows and shades blocking afternoon sun. Spring and Fall are both like this and I find it delightful. Had no idea I would get this much pleasure out of making my own power. #solar

Architecture features prominently in many solarpunk stories, but I’d love to see more climate fictions specifically about the process of architecture parametric-architecture.com/net-zero-arc...

Whatever it is that you’re supposed to be doing right now, I all but guarantee that this is a better use of your time

Dang it I was scrolling by pretty quick and thought it was a bruschetta recipe but alas

I think we all deserve to be a little oblique and self-serving right now. If you’ve got a moon story, post a moon story stateofmatter.in/fiction/sear...

This #solarpunk anthology is free now (for the awards season) but that ends when the Hugo noms close on April 5th — GRAB IT NOW!

The new @strangehorizons.bsky.social special issue on Fungi in SFF is out! A mycelial network of stories, poetry, essays and reviews. Read the special issue here: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/is... And my introduction to it here: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

Wolfpack is up for preorder! The sequel to my award-nominated solarpunk adventure Foxhunt, Wolfpack features our protagonist Orfeus getting herself into and out of even more trouble. For love! And the environment! Itch: remwigmore.itch.io/wolfpack (Foxhunt's shiny 2nd edition also $2.99!)

The schedule for #EarthDay #Hopepit is up! 🌱🌞

Honestly outrageous that I can’t apply for a passport to live in any of these stories I’ve read this year just ridiculous

Reminder that we go hard in Colorado

I am a HUGE fan of school nutrition/foodways programs like this!

Reckoning officially approves of and supports eloquently glowing boosterism of our contributors by their loved ones. See for example this very fine comment on Siobhon Rumuran's brilliant, surreal essay "Cloud, Cloud" from Reckoning 9: reckoning.press/cloud-cloud/...

A gift from Sprig-Solar on Tumblr: #solarpunk story plot ideas. Grab one and start writing!

This is my hometown. One challenge in fighting a corporation like JBS is they just redirect production to a facility in another state, so they have little pressure to negotiate. Here’s a link if you want to donate to the strike support fund my.cheddarup.com/c/solidarity...

Ran a solarpunk workshop for middle schoolers and whoooooooo do those kids not like AI It was their number one concern. They connected it to every instability- climate, politics, economics, etc. This discussion wasn’t even part of my lesson plan. Just where they took it. The kids are alright

I’ve published in magazines and books, I’ve spoken at conferences on the other side of the world, I’ve lectured at universities, I’ve presented research to respected scholars. Tomorrow I lead a solarpunk writing workshop for middle schoolers. I have never been so afraid.

Land back isn't separate from climate action. It IS climate action. climatedefiance.substack.com/p/land-back-...

Next time someone asks me to explain the social/economic/political dimensions of Solarpunk:

Call for submissions from a great press that’s a lot of fun to work with @rosesandwf.bsky.social societyforritualarts.com/coreopsis/ro...

I wrote a solarpunk story about this! “Hardly Working” in the @writehive.bsky.social anthology Rescuing Curiosity writehive.org/our-antholog...

Spring is here, and Tractor Beam has made its first full trip around the sun. 🌞🌱🪱 For our fifth issue, we're looking Underground—with help from our guest editor: poet, filmmaker, educator, and performer Fatimah Asghar! Read their guest editor letter here: www.tractorbeam.earth

It is 92 degrees Fahrenheit where I am in Colorado. I should have taken my kids to Miami for spring break to cool off.

My article @climateconnections.bsky.social today examines how, despite their polar-opposite politics, California and Texas became leaders in solar, wind, and battery deployment. The most important thing you need to know is that I came up with the headline – I'm very proud of it 😅 🧵 follows [1/8]:

Coming up next weekend. Get ready and get your marching shoes on.

I think this story is helping me understand why the generation Dolores Huerta inspired was so strongly tied to the idea that activism should be intersectional before anything else. It's not a buzzword, it's about keeping abusers out of your movement

This is going to shake so many communities down to their foundations- but all the Chavez murals need repainted. Luckily there are quite a number of Huerta murales already out there shining

“Ever found yourself driving to the grocery store or coffee shop even tho it’s a 10-minute walk & perfectly nice day? New research suggests the reason isn’t just distance—it’s how the walk feels…it’s the sights, street life & amenities along the way that strongly shape whether people decide to walk”

My first story with @ex-puritan.bsky.social! I'm very proud of this cli-fi fable "This Tree Will Save the World" 🌳 ex-puritan.ca/this-tree-wi...
