Also, it has good examples of nonviolent bravery.

As much as I love bioluminescence, it is too dim to do more than mark paths.

I take it LED’s have trouble producing a single wavelength?

Thanks! Feels like they recommend something closest to option two. https://darksky.org/resources/guides-and-how-tos/lighting-principles/

I do not have much faith in motion sensors differentiating between animals and humans. Also, if they only turn on when your close, that might not help with perceived danger.

I only read the solarpunk specific posts, and it is very positive. (I get more negative news when I’m ready for it on Bluesky.)

Not very topical, but hilarious nonetheless.

Well, it is a legit question for solarpunks whether or not they should engage in a dead-end system, so I wanted to talk about it.

If you can’t be bothered to spend half a day voting when it could save the lives of people in your community, you are too far gone to reason with. Or just a fascist shill.

You can burn down the system any day. Voting comes only once every few years.

And if you read the post or watch the video instead of trying to discourage people from voting, you will see I have considered this and speak to it.

Clearly I don’t have the right setup (or aptitude) for this kind of video. I’m only speaking at the camera because this is life-and-death important.

Would you recommend compost toilets as a way to not waste human waste? I’m trying to imagine how that would work at city scale. Would communities cart the waste to their rooftop and nextdoor food forests? Would garage-truck style vehicles help in moving it?

As I suspected, the majority (59%) believe that skyscrapers with green stuff on them were solarpunk. This isn’t largely true, but I think the main entry point is people enjoy imagining better cities.

I am trying to create solarpunk art with more practical options for verdant urban spaces.

I think I’m a registered organ donor. Would prefer to donate my whole body to science and sidestep the whole funeral business.

Anything is better than fire cremation. The article says it takes more energy than driving five hundred miles.

I’m outlining my next solarpunk novel. Wish me luck (and endurance).

I uploaded my own solarpunk novel to a solarpunk “Library.” Mostly care about spreading the ideas anyway.

Congratulations! Roleplay immersion is a great way to have a mental solarpunk vacation.

The good news for Zionist punks is they can do the right thing and stop being Zionists at any point, like that Jewish woman I saw at the encampment wearing a Kippah patterned like a slice of watermelon.
