🌻 Hello again #Solarpunk friends! 🌻 I found a brilliant video by @fromtheperiphery.com featuring @pheebz.bsky.social that discusses Solarpunk storytelling. I like this discussion in particular because of the conversation around stories that can bring Solarpunk from fiction to reality.

“Remember this: The imperial need for control is so desperate because it’s so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort; it breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Sometimes it feels like my whole career has been a chain of gatherings where UK & US academics trade stories of the particular kinds of stress & grief & short-sightedness that shadow our work. I want better for all of us.

if we're going to save SF from people like Elon Musk we also need to rethink the genre's class biases. Classic SF is filled with fantasies of the professional class, stories where geniuses and experts create more rational, technocratic, and meritocratic worlds in spite of the unintelligent masses.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

We are in an age of guerilla archiving. We are all going to have to do the work of preserving history & culture on a micro-basis. I’ve deliberately focused on Black joy so you’ll find adventure and fantasy more than you’ll find overcoming and stoic resilience. Get the list 👇🏾👇🏾 tinyurl.com/2m9bx2jb

Fellow writers and editors, I have this cool project I'd loved to see shared. My student researcher and I put together a climate fiction worldbuilding "manual" consolidating some ideas on what the U.S. might experience and look like over the next hundred years using, primarily, government data.
