Hey #Hopepit! For pitch/ promote day I'm going to offer my extant work: the Aces High Jokers Wild series. This is one path out of corporate control and into a solarpunk future. Shenanigans, solidarity and good trouble all the way along. www.oetearmann.com/store #Hopepunk #CliFi #Solarpunk #resist

Currently read "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" and I adore it's solarpunk setting so much. It has such deep world-building and every little detail shows it's history with nature and technology in harmony. I wish I could take a walk through both its urban and rural landscapes in real life 💕

#Hopepit Art Share! A Solarpunk Family. Credit Kel Carter. Bao Li has three genetic parents. She's gene-spliced to balance out the health effects of sloppy genetic experiments done on her grandparents by a megacorporation, before the world FINALLY gave up on capitalism and focused on community.

#Hopepit Art Share 3: Solarpunk Schematics! These are some little infographs that will go in the back of the book as part of a dictionary of tech and terms. I'm hoping they'll help kids get the ideas in accessible ways! The art on these is my own.

#HopePit Art Share #2: The map and flag of the United Communities of America aka our country in a hundred-some years!

Hey #HopePit folks, who's doing music? I'm looking for music intros for a solarpunk story involving these two kids; if you do solarpunk music, drop your links!

For #Hopepit, I'm going to share seven of my favorite solarpunk works in the world 1) The Great Transition, by Nick Fuller Googins A boots-on-the-ground, hands-in-the-soil exploration of what it takes to turn things around. This is the book that refutes the 'solarpunk is just daydreams' complaint.

Hey #Hopepit! I'm Olivia Wylie. I write about ways to climb out of the dark under the pen name O.E. Tearmann, and on today's theme: ta da! I run both a VERY big collaborative list of solarpunk books and a positive future review blog. Got a book? Add it here! www.oetearmann.com/positive-boo...

You know, I'm researching the Regency as I prepare to write my Luddite retelling...I got to say folks, I'm seeing some really unpleasant reflections of current American events. A cruel peacock in power and a society treated like a casino. Too many of us landing on zero. *shudder* Art by Gillray

November, month of mornings, misty-bright With golden light— Month when the many-tinted leaf Lies thick upon the moss below, While to & fro The breezes moan, as if in grief. –Mortimer Collins (1827–76)

"On this very night, 10 years ago, in this graveyard under a moon just like this..." "Spooky Stories" art by Elisabeth Alba. Ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache. 🎃👻🪦

Blessings of the night! May you find contentment in the darkness, and wisdom in your ancestors' voices.

The candles are lit, and the spirit plates are laid. Part of my tradition is to lay foods for my own family inside the house, and a plate for all those who died without anybody to remember them outside. And I'm introducing my neighbors to the idea! #folklore #samhain #halloween #witchsky

Listening to my Halloween audiobooks today: hands down one of my favorite images out of the lore is W.B. Yeats kicking Alistair Crowley down the stairs of the Golden Dawn.

A wicked chuckle for Halloween ;)

speaking of Halloween pumpkins, Scandinavia And The World Comic gave us an awesome history-based giggle here

All ready for tomorrow!

Today was a VERY CIVIC DAY. I did jury duty, filled out and dropped my ballot, patronized the library and got my yearly vaccinations. Tomorrow, I turn the last of the harvest into meals and condiments. *happy sigh* Life is good. Art: Crow in Boots by Rudi Hurzlmeier

If you want a quick #sff read for the season, I've got a short story about memory, solidarity, and Halloween pranks. Enjoy! #sff #scifi #writingcommunity #Halloween www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

One of my favorite treats of this season is listening to the Sabriel book as read by Tim Curry. Spine-chilling delight!

The Days of the Dead have a specific meaning in Mexico. Today is the first of the Days of the Dead.

The wind is in the eaves. The thunder is rumbling. The knives are at hand. Let Samhain Tide begin!

Hey #solarpunk folks! Check this out! Looks like fun.

The heyday of exchanging halloween postcards was between 1900 and 1920 and the bizarre images often had a folkloric tale to tell. These anthropomorphic cabbages allude to divination recorded in Scotland and Ireland where the shape of a pulled cabbage stalk denoted the figure of your future love!

A little #myth and #folklore discussion: did you learn the Hearse Song as a kid? Did you sing it? What part of the country did you learn it in? My cousins taught it to me to 'celebrate' the retirement of a figure of authority who nobody liked when I was six. I'm 37 and from rural upper Wisconsin.

This is me, every persimmon season

Darn. I got distracted from Indigenous People's Day by work. Oh well. This is true on any day I post it.

All set up for Aurora's Fall Into Fun event!
