"The more we find out the harder it is to love this place that would do those things to so many people, and if you're feeling this way, as I often do, you can try loving what this country could become instead. Our history may be full of pain but our future is full of limitless possibilities. So look to the future."
Amber Ruffian
#solarpunk quote of the day

I love being alive, I just don't love all the imagined societal mundane & aggressive constructions that make being alive tough,... for instance; money, taxes, hierarchies, sexism, racism, debt, scarcity, patriarchy, politics, rent, most forms of bullshit work etc. (1. Feel free to add your grievance to the list)

If everything is imagined first, How can we #SolarPunk our constructed reality? ( 2. Feel free to add your answer...)

In the wake of the Eaton Fire which destroyed more than half of the city in January 2025, three Dena scholars/activists share their personal stories & how they connect to Black history in Los Angeles, environmental racism, and the region's future.

Episode 21 is now available on the podcatcher of your choice, or through my link in bio!

Massive Update on the Food Rescue front!!!

We worked out the contract issues with Food Rescue US (FRUS - foodrescue.us)and we just signed the contract!

We can now begin the rescue efforts in earnest!!!

This is MASSIVE!!!

This initiative started last November,, and while it's had a couple of obstacles, five months from conception to group formation to joining with a national org isn't that long.

We're also going to be joining Food Rescue Alliance (FRA - boulderfoodrescue.org/food-res). They're a US based national "mutual aid of mutual aids" sort of thing. So we can join other food rescue groups and learn from each other.

I'd like to see if there's a state group to join as well. If not, I'd like to start one up. A lot of laws and regulations are state based and learning from other groups in our state would be amazing.

Soooo!!!!

Expect some more updates in the coming weeks.

I'm so excited!!!!

The full text and audio version of my short story The Tangle is now online and free to read!

It first appeared in khōréō magazine's Point of View-themed issue in DEC '24 and I think of it as part of my The Field Guide for Next Time extended universe (that I shared in #WritersCoffeeClub or maybe back when it was #WritingWonders?)

Give it a read/listen, if you have the time. Share it with someone, if you like!

@BlumeEvolution
This has been a dialog though, albeit one where all of you are kind of talking around each other's points. Dialectic conversation will often have disagreements and isn't mutually exclusive with cooperation

@alxd is not attacking nor trying to be the king of #solarpunk He seems to want to avoid techno-optimism or techno-determinism being a defining aspect of solarpunk

I, for one, am tiring of the "is this solarpunk or not" posts. I want to see people living it, making it happen
