Meet the solar punks, our heroes trying to thrive in capitalist ruins. Issue 1 coming soon 🌞🤘 #solarpunk #comic

Y'all need to get into this podcast. Like it's a must, It's so so good. Highly recommend. Let's build a better cleaner world, together. #solarpunk

New podcast drop! Listen now to the first half of a two parter on the use of manufactured crises and extremist nationalism in the U.S. to push overtly imperialist agenda. Next week, the second part drops on the solarpunk response and alternative. #solarpunk #DemandUtopia #SolarpunkMagazine #podcasts

Not solarpunk, but a couple people involved with Solarpunk Magazine are part of the team making this game, so thought we'd give it a boost! #indiegames #videogames

After a few days of early access for our Patreon subscribers, the first new episode of our podcast is up and available for public listening. The episode is titled "Moving Forward." The next episode will be available on Monday. #solarpunk #podcast

Jan. 27 was a "typo." First new episode really launches one week from today, Monday Feb. 17. Working on it right now, in fact!

‪All our books by black and African authors are on sale for the whole month of February! #blackhistorymonth #readblackauthors #androidpress #books #bookshelf #bookrecommendations #readingcommunity

In acknowledgment of the recent fascist endeavors to impinge and revoke freedoms, @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social will continue to support our communities. Queer, disabled, BIPOC, immigrant—these are politicized demographics particularly vulnerable to the growing fascist regime of the United States.

ICEBREAKER – Snow Crash x Ministry for the Future Echo and their crew of eco-rebels race to sabotage a corporate icebreaker destined to ravage the Arctic. With stolen tech, kayaks, and hope from a VR future, they'll either ignite revolution or be crushed by the Petro Inc. machine. #2025pit #A #SF

In 1970, a young man leaves South Korea for the Philippines to learn English and write a memoir. He is joined by his landlord’s clairvoyant daughter and a reincarnating goshawk; together, they navigate post-war trauma and identity. 63k words. #2025Pit #A #HF #specfic

We're relaunching our podcast! The first new episode drops Monday, January 27th #solarpunk #SolarpunkMagazine #hopefulfiction #podcasts #podcastsky #climatechange #climatesolutions

Just started following @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social. Looking forward to nurturing myself with more positive thinking and better aligned visions of the world I want to spend the rest of my days creating and enjoying ☀️

The contract is now signed, so I can happily say that "A Whisper of a Chance", a near-future story set in #Colombia and exploring how small communities get caught between illegal and legal extraction, has a home in @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social! 🎉 Happy to celebrate pueblo ingenuity in hard times!

Issue 19 is now available and on sale through Sunday! Featuring work by Demetri Kissel, Nadine Aurora Tabing, Devan Barlow, Brianna Castagnozzi, and Justine Norton-Kertson. #solarpunk ##readingcommunity ##writingcommunity #solarpunkmagazine #climatechange

Where's the lie?

Where my #Solarpunk folks at? I've been wanting to create some sort of Solarpunk software that allows people to reimagine their city as a walkable, sustainable, post capitalist utopia. Then provide resources and ideas on how they may be able to get there. Any takers?

#SFFtalk Q3: I love hopepunk and solarpunk work like Becky Chambers' and would love to see more of that! At the same time, give us more weird fiction with environmentalist themes like Jeff Vandermeer's work! Basically, I want all the nature-related sci-fi and fantasy.

Everybody has something they can do. And every one of us needs to do it. A little bit, every day. #solarpunk #socialchange

I only have two short stories this year. Both of them are about being adrift, in search of a prize that might be the anchor to a new life. In Sea Walkers (Solarpunk #16), a generation born at sea searches for reclaimable land in the image of their lost home.
