I stand by refusing to touch receipts that are heat transfer paper. Already got a lifetime dose of BPS chemicals with three years of retail. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A book? That's a novel idea

"Crazywise" was an earnest and suprisingly respectful docco on western psychiatry and how first nations cultures navigate psychosis. Perhaps instead of getting rid of mind-body duality, psychology needs to add spirit back into the equation. kanopy.com/video/2151020

A recommendation: for a resolved and hopeful exploration of how we can help our living world with the tools we have right now, check out www.pbs.org/show/the-fut... . There are challenges. Many. But where we take the time to look, there is hope. #solarpunk #climatesky #circularsky

The way "AI" systems are presented as "social companions to fight loneliness" is very similar in how "AI" is supposed to help teaching: Both are founded in a massive misunderstanding of the social dynamics techies try to replace. You friend isn't just a thing to send you text, they're not a […]

Go India! 🌟 That's how we set sustainability targets "Starting April 1, 2025, PET bottles [must have] at least 30% recycled plastic content. That percentage will increase by 10% annually until it reaches 60% by fiscal 2028-29." www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

I feel obligated, for legal purposes, to clarify that trans people have nothing to do with the stock market’s performance and that voting out of panic over them existing has brought about economic collapse.

What you get out of ChatGPT and other LLMs can easily be outmatched by... A good community and a strong library. The rest is yet more humanity sacrificed on the altar of expedience

Pakistani designer and illustrator Shehzil Malik uses her art for positive social change "as a South Asian, a Muslim, a woman and a feminist" #WomensArt

This weekend an older woman walked up as my kids were getting out of our bike at the playground. "I admire you so much. I do not have the physical strength to pedal a bike that weighs that much with kids in it!" Me: "Oh! No need to admire me. This is an ebike, which makes it so easy!" 1/2

The main problem so far in 'Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation' is mentioning Elongated Muskrat, twice, and sadly not by that name

Watching ufo doccos has shown me that atheist americans get their mysticism kicks from their government instead of religion

Season 1's mapped out. Scripts for episodes 1-3 are drafted. Casting calls will start going out next week. If you do audio acting and are interested, then keep an eye out here and over at @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social. #solarpunk #podcast #audiodrama #SunriseStation #DemandUtopia #SolarpunkMagazine

I've been going on about wanting a new system that gives us services we like but are cooperatively owned. In the TV realm I realized it already exists! Happy to say I've cancelled my Netflix subscription and instead created a #Nebula one. Definitely a small step towards a more #Solarpunk world.

@indigodecay.bsky.social thought you'd find this tool exciting 💚 github.com/streetmix/st...

Amazing big list of open source projects, shared by community friend blob 🛠️🌞🌱 #solarpunk #opensource opensustain.tech

My feed was not weird enough but now it is pretty weird, if you would like your feed also to be at least 20% weirder you can go click this button

I for one welcome our alien overlords

A whole gallery of someone's life modelling are the classiest nudes I've received, and it's still plausibly deniable intentions? 🥵 Last time we hung out they were in a monogamous relationship. Maybe not now? Help.

Got some more wildflower seed packets distributed at the neighborhood cleanup this morning! I left the jar with the leftovers at the Fishtown library. Will restock the jars on one of my weekly walks this week.

Opening today! I’m honored to have helped my friend Ron Rael on his “Adobe Oasis” installation at for the DesertX art festival in Palm Springs, California. The adobe mud walls were 3D printed using a mobile robot powered by solar panels provided by SolarPunks!

Carbon neutral is nice and all, but what if we demanded carbon negative and businesses competed with each other for how carbon negative their product is? #sustainability

I swear half of a city's road problems would end overnight if people used bikes more than SUVs. Deadset, they're smaller, faster, funner, and the road solidarity with other riders is just 👩‍🍳😙

No wonder humanity was expelled from the Garden.

Let's go #solarpunks and #witchsky

I appreciate this reminder:"The culture always changes first. And then everything else adapts to it." @tedgioia.bsky.social That's my lane. I'm *over*worked rn—there's so much to do, the house is on fire—but making time for culture work is vital. #solarpunk www.honest-broker.com/p/the-world-...

Karma comes for Zionists. I loved the couple of Esoteric festivals that I attended in the past, but I'm glad I skipped last year. Eso banned political symbols and then shared the Israeli flag on their own insta stories. The name is skin deep. amp.abc.net.au/article/1050...

The origin story of the New Mythos group (and idea of @pjmanney.bsky.social 's) that I've been lucky to be part of since very near the beginning. #solarpunk is New Mythos. #hopepunk is New Mythos. The old stories have let us down; time for a New Mythos. thenewmythos.org/what-is-the-...

Hey techies, how do local councils benefit from adopting open source software and tech systems? We're writing up a proposal to establish tech adoption policies in our area. Ideas appreciated 💚 #OpenSource

Open source programs to prevent advertising from addling our attention are pretty ingenious. Alt front end for Youtube. Have you heard of it before? invidious.io

Sorry I can only call it crapitalism from now on

Hey @solarpunkgame.bsky.social we love a cosy craft time but please rename to something more specific. Rn your name grab is diluting our ability to appreciate irl solarpunk on this platform. Solarpunk is an entire genre that belongs to everyone.

Not solarpunk exactly, but written by a solarpunk author and filled with solarpunk vibes and themes. If you haven't read it yet, now's a great time to grab on copy!

You can’t be solarpunk and use generative ai sorry
