@AEMarling just released a new novel: "Neon Riders"! It's about street racers facing off with a fascist cell in a future #solarpunk San Francisco!

I've loved Marling's previous books, and I read part of a pre release draft and love this one too. Check it out!

☀️NUEVO CLUB DE LECTURA SOLARPUNK☀️

El solarpunk es un subgénero de la ciencia ficción que imagina sociedades utópicas. En sus historias las clases sociales han sido abolidas, la riqueza se reparte con justicia y abundancia, se vive en armonía con el medioambiente y la biodiversidad, y la energía proviene de fuentes renovables.

La cultura solarpunk desafía el miedo al colapso que promueve el capitalismo. Es una respuesta al famoso “No hay alternativa” de Margaret Thatcher. Si creen que tras el capitalismo sólo queda el apocalipsis… ¡que les zurzan! Para entonces, ya habremos aprendido a gobernar comunidades sanas, cultivar nuestras hortalizas y desarrollar tecnologías al servicio del planeta y del bienestar común.
-----------------------------------------------------------
🧩¡Formemos un grupo inicial! Apúntate antes del 14 de agosto para decidir qué día del mes nos va mejor a todes. Nuestra intención es continuar con más libros en base al interés del grupo.

Congrats to everyone who helped #ZohranMamdani score a historic win!

Expect a huge flux of new folks into the #DSA, #WFP, et al.

We live in dark times, but if you're practiced in telling stories about the future you can see light shining through cracks. Let's do this!

"Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072" by #EmanAbdelhadi and #MEOBrien might be a really good #solarpunk book covering a speculative future.

I'm adding it to the top of my TO READ list :)

Check out this report by The National Infrastructure Commission for Wales (NICW): "Reimagining transport infrastructure in 2100"

I love when urban planners start describing 30+ yrs out. Their #worldbuilding tends to read a lot like Fully Automated with fewer dice rolls.

Whoa! I noted that last week's ep of Bad Faith podcast w/ Briahna Joy Gray was giving #solarpunk vibes and lo and behold guess who is the next guest? @pluralistic !

It's a premium ep. I'm listening now. If you needed a reason to sub, this is a good one! This meeting of the minds is long overdue.

dark hole of echoing madness

In fact, as Foucault and others have shown, prisons and factories came in at about the same time, and their operators consciously borrowed from each other's control techniques. A worker is a part-time slave. The boss says when to show up, when to leave, and what to do in the meantime. He tells you how much work to do and how fast. He is free to carry his control to humiliating extremes, regulating, if he feels like it, the clothes you wear or how often you go to the bathroom. With a few exceptions he can fire you for any reason, or no reason. He has you spied on by snitches and supervisors, he amasses a dossier on every employee. Talking back is called "insubordination," just as if a worker is a naughty child, and it not only gets you fired, it disqualifies you for unemployment compensation… The demeaning system …

For certain purposes it's not too misleading to call our system democracy or capitalism or -- better still -- industrialism, but its real names are factory fascism and office oligarchy. Anybody who says these people are "free" is lying or stupid.

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 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 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 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.
