I write science fiction, draw, paint, photobash, do woodworking, and dabble in 2d videogames design. Big fan of reducing waste, and of building community

Need inspiration on why someone powerful might commit crimes even in a solarpunk society? The Swindled podcast goes in-depth on a wide range of white-collar crimes (swindledpodcast.com)
I’ve been thinking about campaigns and discussing possible plotlines with my SO, and while we were talking about options for investigations and the reasons people might commit crimes even in a solarpunk society where everyone has enough, and they reminded me of this podcast which focuses on white collar crimes, their impacts...
Looking for advice on turning a mountain bike into a cargo bike
I’ve been riding the same Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo Mountain Bike since my uncle found it in a sandpit and gave it to me to ride while away on my first internship. It was in somewhat rough shape back then, and it’s kind of the bicycle of Thesius at this point as parts failed and I found ways to replace them....
Solarpunk Workshop (slrpnk.net)
This is one I’ve had on my list for months now, and I finally decided to just go ahead and make it. Back when I was researching solar cookers, solar concentrator, and solar furnaces, I ran into a few really interesting ideas around fresnel lenses. Look them up on youtube and you can find all kinds videos of people melting...

Deconstruction crew disassembling abandoned McMansions so the material can be reused - Postcard from a Solarpunk Future (pixelfed.social)
Houses require maintenance. How much and how often depends on the design and its surroundings. They also require occupants - in my brief experience at least, they degrade much faster when they’re left cold and empty than when someone lives there, even if that someone doesn’t fix things. Weather, encroaching water, mold, ice,...
We started a mushroom garden, I'll let you know how it goes! (movim.slrpnk.net)
My SO and I have been planning to start a mushroom garden for awhile now. You can buy these kits with mushroom spawn in peg form, and you just drill holes in a log and hammer them in. I’d had big dreams of going along the bike path, adding them to all the dead logs there, until I learned how important it is to properly and...
Rethinking Maps
I’ve been thinking about Five’s excellent comments about states and the borders of a post-state world on one of our previous discussions. And since this Lemmy community is intended partially as a repository of resources for players and GMs, I thought I’d gather up some of the cool maps I’ve been looking at, and organize...
Stumbled onto this webcomic on Mastodon, been enjoying it so far, it's got a big backlog and appears to still be going (www.kamikazeanimated.com)
The last webcomic I recommended was Black and Blue. This one has a lighter tone, and has got some superhero influences, though I think it still falls under cyberpunk....
A little green friend (slrpnk.net)
A simple figure drawn on a green painted surface in florescent yellow-green paint. It kind of looks like a seriffed number ‘1’ with feet, an eye, and a little hat(?)
solar concrete kiln design questions (slrpnk.net)
This might be a bit of a reach but I’m wondering if anyone here knows enough about concrete production to help me plan the layout of my next photobash. I’d like to do a scene of a solar-thermal concrete factory – there are several supposedly in the works, like Synhelion’s new partnership with Cemex, funded by the US DoE,...
The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted has more in common with FA! and similar works than I remembered
I just finished re-reading Harry Harrison’s The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted which was my favorite from the first time I read the books awhile back....

A flower with a smiley face has been drawn with black crayon(? charcoal?) on a granite wall.

Scrappy Capy Distro has released the first issue of Harbour, an anarchist literary journal. It has 7 pieces from 6 authors, poets, and artists. You can download it for free online, or get it on paper if you happen to live in Berlin and know the anarchist scene there....

Last one for now, I think I’m done with trains for a bit, thanks for letting me share these here!...

This is the only other train art I’ve done that would fit this community, but I’m hoping to make one more somewhat soon. I hope it fits okay!...
Caustic Soda Locomotive at a Drying Station by me (slrpnk.net)
cross-posted from: slrpnk.net/post/8409948...
Question: what would infrastructure for caustic soda locomotives look like if they had seen mainstream use?
Soda locomotives saw very limited use, and though I’ve found some awesome photos and descriptions thanks to the research of enthusiasts online, I haven’t really found anything describing what exactly the process of draining the probably-boiling-hot caustic slop from the locomotive and refilling it with water and fresh...

I made some new art for the game – sort of a recruiting poster for the Civil Defense. (slrpnk.net)
I’m not sure why but I’ve always found the Civil Defense to be really cool, and I often try to work it into my stories in one form or another (though none of those have been published yet). When I was helping with reorganizing FA!’s box text on the military, I thought it’d be a good addition....
