We’re moving into design development on a new home that blends Pacific Northwest warmth with bold, modern lines. Would you go minimalist or cozy with your dream home?

Finally, the English version of #Chaostopia2042 is in typesetting. I hope, I can upload tomorrow so the book will be out after the Easter holidays. =)

Biggest thanks to my British editor, Cressida Downing, for helping me make my little positive-future-novella fit for the big international market. – This is incredible having a fiction book out for the entire world to read! Wheeeeee!!!

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadlr). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.

Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.

You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.

As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

(6/6) 🧵

Lots of commentators, both left and right, staying that Liebour's demise is Reform's gain. I think this is premature. It depends on what level of 'f**kwitery' the electorate are encouraged to exhibit by the sinister MSM!
Ever hopeful, after 50 years activism, that the masses will see through the lies, deception and full-on Goebbels-style propaganda and rise up to claim their birthrights, but then I have had a couple of glasses of port ...

Season 3 Episode 1: 50 Shades of Solarpunk

Ariel and Christina open Season 3 with a chat about what solarpunk, or, at least this solarpunk podcast, is setting out to achieve… according to how Ariel sees it. With her occasionally curmudgeonly devil’s advocacy, Christina provides the nuance we need as we push through topics, including the definition of solarpunk in a time of slippery postmodern language (that, in true solarpunk fashion, changes according to cultural context and locale), the Anthropocene and its multiple issues, mix-tape metaphors, Ursula K LeGuin’s Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, aesthetics (of course), infrastructure as resistance, and a liiiiittle bit of academic theory.

Join us!

Periodic reminder that we have a Patreon and we need support! We're a two-person endeavour, and we don't have ads or sponsorships or get money from like, Big Solarpunk (though that would be hilarious and terrible if such a thing existed). We basically are paying for this out of our own pockets, and investing the time and energy into this that capitalism is telling us would be much better spent EARNING a WAGE at some sort of JOB (Ariel is writing this and she's bitter, sorry, let me start this again....)

If you can find it in your hearts and wallets to support us financially through a Patreon subscription or a one-time donation to our PayPal, that would go a long way towards encouraging us to keep going. We want to keep bringing our listeners interviews with the people who are doing solarpunk in the present. It's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

Okay I'll get off my soapbox and just leave this here: https://www.solarpunkpresents.com/support

PS: Those in financial straits, we see you, too. If you want to support our show and solarpunk in general but you just can't monetarily, it's chill: instead, write us a review on your podcatcher of choice - they go a long way to encouraging us and giving us good ideas for future episodes and guests. Or, share an episode you particularly liked with a friend; word of mouth recommendations are so important in our current sea of media ;)
