Hurrah! @risingtide_cbr are now on Mastodon! They haven’t started posting yet, but do give them a follow if you want to keep up with events and news.
The #RisingTide group in #Canberra organises social events, Discobedience dance, choir, NVDA actions, film nights, trivia nights, and a big group who’ve blockaded the #Newcastle coal port for a weekend in November each year for the past 3 years.
Inkican asks if kids still get thoughtful scifi that makes progress feel real. Sounds like our new quest line. https://inkican.com/stl-kids-need-thoughtful-scifi-right-now #MGscifi #hopepunk #author

Habe gerade "Ein Psalm für die Wild Schweifenden" von #BeckyChambers durchgelesen und möchte jetzt auch gern mit einem Ochsenwagen durch Pangan fahren und selbstkredenzten Tee servieren.
Mein Laptop, den ich vor 21 Jahren zu meinem 16ten Geburtstag bekommen habe, wäre natürlich auch mit dabei (#permacomputing).
Hab das erste Buch aus der #MonkeyAndRobot Serie verschlungen (es kam mir sehr kurz vor) und freu mich schon auf den zweiten Teil.
This is a quiet story about longing, kindness, and becoming something beautiful in your own way.
It starts with a hedgehog and ends in a meadow full of flowers. 🌼

#WordWeavers day 19: Who is the most moral character in your story?
On that spectrum of morality - Kaija is the most moral character in "A New Faith".
w/o her morality, there would be no Sequoia, no story. She is also the notional mayor of Sequoia and eventually, she is the one who articulates the key ideas of the new faith. The small f is intentional. She is not starting a new religion or creating a new tribe.

Just signed up for a "hopecore" class through Indivisible! Love that they're doing this (I had not heard this particular variant of the term before) and I'm intrigued to see what they're teaching in terms of art in activism.

@funz Erste Empfehlung die mir einfällt: die beiden Wasteland-Romane von den Vögten (@jcvogt.de und @inksmith.bsky.social). Doller Weltenbau, dolle Figuren, doll geschrieben.
Zur Autorenduo-Website: »Wasteland« (2019) und »Laylayland« (2022).

"Without #positive #climate #futures, visions of climate #adaptation and #resilience that we can work toward, it’s much harder to motivate broad-based efforts for change in the present."

These villains must be defeated if there is any chance of addressing any of the major problems we face. They are completely anti-#democracy and they don't hide their goals anymore!

Songs of hope is such a great topic.
"Reignite" by #Malukah is one of my goto songs.
https://youtu.be/re32xnyYP3A
#FreedomCall is the equivalent of plugging a heating blanket into an amplifier and cranking the positivity to 11.
"Rock the Nation".
https://youtu.be/re_GpN7JI3M
"Skal" by #MiracleOfSound is just so very warm and welcoming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2q5R9HU7C0
And there's #VNV nation for looking inwards. "Nothing more".

I used to distinguish more strongly between my solarpunk stories and my anti-AI stories but now I'm coming to think of them as two flavors of the same thing.
