Reading through the most recent issue of "Solarpunk Magazine" and wanted to highlight how much I enjoyed the story "Once and Future Kilowatts" by @susankayequinn. One theme I really like in many #Solarpunk stories is a reckoning with history and the need to remember the past as a ground to move forward. And the village in this story reminds me of communities where I grew up struggling with deindustrialization.
Worth reading (and subscribing if you haven't already)
Ich suche utopische Kurzgeschichten oder Romane, die in einer Nachhaltigen und Postfossilen Gesellschaft spielen, welche auch wir zeitnah erreichen könnten. Gerne Teilen! #solarpunk#scifi
This one hit me harder than I expected. 😭 Beautiful short #solarpunk story by @naomikritzer about a neighborhood learning to cooperate after disaster hits.
Včera jsme se v komerční zóně u Algeciras potkali s dalším opozdilcem závodu #thesuntrip Miguelem a současně rozpustili Českou solární výpravu do Maroka. @cobic poslal svoje kolo domů náklaďákem partnerské firmy a přenechal mi svoje panely jako externí. Já uvidím, jak se mi bude dařit sólově a jak rychle se vrátím domů. Těším se hlavně do Pyrenejí a do Alp.
Der #Lebensraum für Menschen wird durch die Klimakatastrophe knapper. Selbiger wird mit Waffengewalt verteidigt.
Kein schöner Gedanke.
Es gibt pazifistische Menschen und Gruppen weltweit. Sie können sich nur unter den Schutzschirmen der Waffenführer flüchten, oder, wie die #Fremen in #Dune versuchen in den unwirtlichsten Gegenden dieses Planeten zu überleben.
Das ganze Spiel mit den Energien (was z.B. unter den Begriffen Karma, Chakren und Kundalini bekannt ist) ist für mich dabei irgendwie nicht mehr so wichtig geworden.
Aber ich kann absolut nachvollziehen, warum das für Andere wichtig ist.
Und ich mag das Wort "Friedensenergien" sehr, weil es sehr treffend ist.
Hey did you guys know that if you miscategorize a modern rules-light RPG as "Other OSR Games" you can make RPG fans very upset?
Our bad. Thank you all for the grace of forgiveness. We are humbly reclassifying our game as "Other d10 System" and sincerely apologize for any distress we've caused. It was not our intention, and we'll be more careful in the future.
@rivetgeek@alxd That was my reasoning, but after consulting Reddit I learned that my definition doesn't match what most people in DriveThruRPG are expecting. So we fixed it.
Happy one-year birthday to ANOTHER LIFE, my #solarpunk novella about reincarnation! @StelliformPress brought this to life one year ago today. Many thanks to everyone who has bought, read, or reviewed it!
A Spanish translation is coming soon from Crononauta, and a Catalan translation from SF Fábula. 🥳
A little late getting this one out today, but I like how it turned out (plus cool videos to watch!).

"Moreover, when used as a substrate for perovskite solar cells, the transparent bamboo displays the potential to act as a light management layer, leading to a marked efficiency enhancement of 15.29%"
A #solarpunk workshop built around multiple ways to use the sun, including several giant fresnel lenses beaming light down from the observatory-style dome on the roof, with the light regulated by the computer-controlled, irising shutter. With the focal point at a reliable, known location, they could use the heat for everything from 3d printing by sintering sand into glass, to forging or smelting metal, to operating a sort of CNC plasma cutter.
Hey, I've got a new story coming out in #Solarpunk Magazine next week! And I'm starting a new novel. If you'd like to know whenever I have something new out, subscribing to my newsletter is the best way to find out... plus you get free stories (some of my Singularity stuff, not solarpunk yet)...
How about a vision of a future worth fighting for? How about a realistic take on the world we're living in but with a pathway out of the mess?
Someday, they'll decide you're ready for such things. Probably not until readers create another breakaway success like KSR's Ministry for the Future or Becky Chambers' Monk & Robot.
Reread A psalm for the wild-built - still lovely 😊 did anyone else get the vibe that mosscap (and the robots in general) could be read as neurodivergent?
