“... and the whole pile beating in tune to its timepieces, like a great disordered heart.”

Robert Louis Stevenson in Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes

“One night I went along the Cowgate after every one was a-bed
but the policeman, and stopped by hazard before a tall
land. The moon touched upon its chimneys, and shone
blankly on the upper windows; there was no light anywhere in the
great bulk of building; but as I stood there it seemed to me that
I could hear quite a body of quiet sounds from the interior;
doubtless there were many clocks ticking, and people snoring on
their backs. And thus, as I fancied, the dense life within
made itself faintly audible in my ears, family after family
contributing its quota to the general hum, and the whole pile
beating in tune to its timepieces, like a great disordered
heart.”

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt.

In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

Anne Frank seated at a desk with an open book and a pen, looking directly at the camera, with a bottle of ink by her side.

Read and share this report from @CrimethInc.

Let everyone you know that working people are standing up to fascism in #LosAngeles.

They're standing up for their neighbors and for that, Trump is sending in the military. Stand with them. Solidarity.

"DHS couldn’t control the situation. The feds were overwhelmed and begged the Los Angeles Police Department to come save them. Despite LA mayor Karen Bass saying she was “appalled” about the presence of ICE in Los Angeles, the LAPD still showed up in large numbers. A low-flying helicopter was telling people that they would be arrested and issuing dispersal orders as LAPD pushed people away from the building over the next four to five hours. Everyone left covered in pepper ball dust and tear gas."

Digital illustration of a stained glass window. It is colorful, and full of queer flags, and gay symbols.

Text reads: "Sacred are the queers who came before me." With a dandelion in the center.

Illustration of a white and pink rabbit with ornate patterns surrounding it. In the center of its head is the trans symbol.

Text reads: "What is filigree but impossible plants growing in impossible ways."

Watercolor, pencil, and digital illustration of a hairy shirtless man in a jockstrap watering his garden. A variety of plants are painted simply in the background and foreground, including tomatoes, goldenrod, daisies, and kale.

A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other things 1/2 ☀️

Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉

Podcast over here if you're interested: https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts

#solarPunk #hopePunk #art #myArt #comics #sustainability

Page 1 of comic. The uppermost caption states: "I like realistic Solarpunk. I think it's the best kind, actually!" Under it is a horizontal space filled with doodles: someone exiting a tool library, a girl holding a mended sock, a chama group is pooling donations, a woman browses Wikipedia, a volunteer is filling a bowl with free soup.
"By realistic I mean grounded. Something that we could imagine happening in our real world. No magic (a drawing of a girl with fire powers), no supernatural elements unless you know what you're doing (a talking cat), no cure-all tech (a man is claiming a tiny piece of tech is going to solve everything).
The artist appears. "I feel that way because of my answer to this question: what is Solarpunk for?"

Page 2. "Well, let's see...Solarpunk isn't just an aesthetic, it's an emerging genre and artistic movement." The statement is accompanied by mandala-like drawing of several hands drawing the Solarpunk symbol.
Then there's a dualistic drawing: Cyberpunk and Solarpunk next to each other. In the Cyberpunk drawing, a man is holding a gun, and in the other he is unloading soil from a big bag into a garden bed. Three tiny people are floating next to the Solarpunk man, imagining what tasty stuff can grow from that soil.
The caption reads: "Solarpunk is also sort of CyberPunk's counterpart. While Cyberpunk concerns itself with wrecking bad old systems, Solarpunk is about building new, better ones. SolarPunk's creation was very intentional - it's for letting us imagine a tomorrow that's not a fucking shitshow."
In the corner, the artist points at a box labeled "future" and asks "If it's alive, what do you reckon it looks like?"

Page 3. "And that tomorrow part is important! When it comes to technology, we can stop climate change and achieve a sustainable world right now." A whole section next to this text is filled with various sustainable technologies: perma- and polyculture, wind turbines, vernacular architecture, reforestation, libraries of everything, trains, trams, bikes, solar panels, habitat restoration, degrowth etc.
"We don't need to wait until a fancy piece of tech comes along and fixes everything." There's a rendition of that meme where people are huddling together to discuss something. A contraption called "carbon sucker 9000 appears". The group gives it a thumbs up and continues discussing their own stuff like minimizing plane travel.

"What we need is large cultural and societal change. But most people struggle to imagine anything but dystopia."
In a frame nearby, a rich guy gleefully puts his foot on a pair of scales, favoring a bag of money over the planet. However, just out of frame is a group of people with tools, ready to take the planet back.

"Solarpunk is for filling that blank space! And a grounded, though not unambitious, approach makes it feel more achievable to the average person."

Page 4. "If we can imagine absolute Cyberpunk dystopia with ease but not the opposite, it's because we don't have enough popular stories yet which would showcase that believable alternative." A lady is reading a Solarpunk book. She exclaims: "So you're telling me people can just do stuff without a monetary incentive or the risk of hunger and homelessness? Movie number 3752 about robots enslaving humanity was much more realistic!"
"The hard part for Solarpunks is imagining what the culture and structure of this new society would look like. How would it operate?" Drawing: the author sits gloomily at a desk, mumbling "I wish I could try out this hobby but the tools are so expensive, and I don't even know if it'll be a long-term interest or not...". But then they have an epiphany. "Wait, I could literally just go to the library!"
"How does this new world think? And what do we change about ourselves to get closer to it?" The final doodle is of a man stating we must ensure economic growth until the end of time, though the woman next to him retorts: "You and what endless planetary resources?" She then suggests that we instead produce what's necessary and give it to those who need it.

The state of things is really discouraging, and it's easy to believe that there's no saving humanity because there are just too many "sheeple".

But look, the propaganda is relentless, the violence extreme, and the manipulation insidious. That's what it takes to make people "like this". That's the length they've gone to enslave people.

That to me says that there are other ways for people to be. It must be possible or it wouldn't be necessary to go to all this trouble.

Ageric boosted:

If you don't think they're scared of us, then ask yourself about the lengths they go to to suppress us.

Like, they literally attack education because people *reading* is a threat to them.

The suppression is so intense because they *need* it to be. Give us an inch, and we'll fight for a mile.

Human beings have a lot of weaknesses & foibles, but we have *strengths* too. Together we are dangerous.

This strip haunts me.

Calvin and Hobbes have hauled their wagon to the top of an enormous hill.

Calvin: "I call this 'Lookout Hill'".

Hobbes: "Yes, you can certainly see far from up here."

Calvin: "I call it 'Lookout Hill' because that's what you yell whenever we go down it."

Calvin and Hobbes climb into the wagon and push off.

Calvin (As the wagon speeds down a hill going faster and faster, the surrounding landscape turning into a blur): "You know, sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take the time to enjoy where we are. Days go by and we hardly notice them. Life becomes a blur."

The wagon hurtles off a cliff and Calvin says, "Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present. Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we've made, but it's too late to change anything. It's like...it's like..."

Hobbes: "It's like what?"

Calvin (as the two plummet to their doom): "It's like *something*...I just can't think of it."

Death Stranding - watercolor on shikishi
We drew this fan art illustration as a gift for Hideo Kojima when we visited his office back in 2023.
We’re big fans of his games. They are truly unique and creative.
Death Stranding was an unforgettable gaming experience so it was a pleasure to travel back to this strange and mysterious world and draw something inspired by its poetic atmosphere.
