Brilliant article on #solarpunk by @feralyogi.bsky.social aeon.co/essays/in-so... Really insightful and thorough analysis of solarpunk—very glad to see this kind of serious treatment! (agree with nearly all the points, except I think solarpunk *is* Luddite in its anti-industrialism) @aeon.co

Last year I visited Austin, TX for the first time to read at Festival Beach Food Forest, a public park planted w/ edible species, & a wonderful event & education third space. Completely unique. I just found out the city plans to demolish them. This is the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pa...

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet: www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

Antifascist Italian nomads versus police-state autonomous vehicles anyone? Anyone here for antifascist Italian nomads versus police-state autonomous vehicles? #solarpunk #clifi #scifi

An acceptance is obviously nice but there’s something so validating about making the long list. Your work was good enough to be *really* considered and that is a fortifying experience in the world of publishing

This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

Amazing review by the wonderful @princejvstin.com for @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social! “A strong offering from Violet Lichen that helps showcase what the press and its mission is all about.

There are a lot of things the billionaires and fascists can't stop you from doing... and writing little solarpunk stories is one of them. I did some of that today. 2026 is the year I do a lot more of that.

You know something 2026? Nuh-uh. We’re not rolling over and giving into despair. We reject the doomerism that says “2026 is going to suck” and “this is how things are going to be”. We’re getting HOPEFUL in this house! #HopePit #HopePunk #Solarpunk #CliFi #writingcommunity
