Grow, dammit (possumpat.io)
Still waiting for my newest African violet to shape up, but it was cruelly yanked from an auntie’s loving humidity cabinet and then thrown to sink or swim on my countertop.
The Solarpunk Survey 2024 (leidenuniv.eu.qualtrics.com)
Hello everyone! For my bachelor’s thesis, I am making a survey to find out what Solarpunks think of the movement, the genre and the community. I believe Solarpunks are often curious about the thoughts of others in the community, so I think this could be another instance to promote discussion and interesting conversations...

‘We did it’: Birch bark scrolls recovered from auction (minnesotareformer.com)
Some gave $5; some gave $100. In the end, more than 100 people united over a single mission to save sacred Ojibwe birch bark scrolls from falling into a black hole of private collectors of Native artifacts.
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: Debunked — The Laurie Loo (thelaurieloo.com)
Families will change dramatically over the years to come, says study (phys.org)
The number of relatives that an individual has is expected to decrease by more than 35% in the near future. At the same time, the structure of families will change. The number of cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren will decline sharply, while the number of great-grandparents and grandparents will increase significantly....
why do I keep watching this guy clean out culverts with a rake? (www.youtube.com)
IDK if this is quite solarpunk, but it’s some kind of eco-punk....
Prodigy out on Netflax and I'm happy to see Janeway done decently
sustained fangirl squeeingI’m only about eight episodes in, but gAwD, it’s amazing what studios can do when they actually do long-term planning. Consistent characterization that isn’t just smashing foils together like Tuvok and Neelix or Tom and Harry? More than 4 recycled plots? YAY BOSS BAE JANEWAY. Unfortunately,...
Earliest 'true' saddle in east Asia discovered (phys.org)
book release: Murder in the Tool Library (slrpnk.net)
My first solarpunk novel releases today. You can discover Murder in the Tool Library at eBook retailers. For a paperback like I’m holding, you’ll have to wait until next week. (Barnes and Noble did me dirty.)
Winter migration from windowsill to countertop (possumpat.io)
My gesneriad gang made the commute to the kitchen bar top. I remembered where I stored the grow light but I can only find one of the heated cat beds. Send halp, there will be hissing and flexing
Mist Showers: Sustainable Decadence? (solar.lowtechmagazine.com)
Maybe amber glass isn't the best idea (possumpat.io)
Inherited a set of these amber glass cups from my dude’s great-grandma. I like them, they make me feel a little fancy, but I absolutely cannot gauge a steep color in these. I’ve got water as hardass as a Humphrey Bogart character, and it helps to glance at the color to see if I’ve got a decent steep, especially for herbal...
New water change, new look (photos.app.goo.gl)
Because redecorating a 10g fish tank with fake plants is cheaper than redecorating my apartment. It ended up more open on top than I wanted but my betta boi still has his floating log to hide in. Gonna go blow all my money on more aquarium decor to alter it during next week’s water change.
solarpunking the educational system (www.youtube.com)
Jumping from a previous post on education. Feel free to skip the first 7:30 minutes (which mostly defines solarpunk as a concept, I think we’re good on that in this space), but this seems like this Human Restoration Project is a good thing with the wonk behind it to make it functional. (extra linky just in case:...
Possible bans on US imports/exports of fish species threatened by pet trade (possumpat.io)
Maybe I’m just a dirty tree-hugging hippie, but captive bred is better.
Why is my betta not a good eater?
This is the 3rd betta I’ve had and he’s just not food motivated like every other betta I’ve seen. We’ve tried pellets, flakes, and assorted freeze dried shit and he’ll still mostly ignore it until it sinks to the bottom, and then maybe he’ll nibble it. Bruh you are not a catfish or pleco, wtf. He’s a “samurai”...
touched grass at the local wetland reserve (possumpat.io)
midday sunlight, so only the shade pics have “proper” lighting, but I saw some lil froggo frens. (hopefully all the pics upload okay)

I was gonna make a joke about using cheap tea bags instead of almond leaves for tannins but it looks like that is actually a legit thing (bettabotanicals.com)
why tf a handful of almond leafs be fukcen 15 dollars??? Bitch you’re getting the Lipton.
I made a zen garden for my betta (possumpat.io)
Lil 10 gallon tank, fake plants because I don’t have the mental bandwidth for live plants at this point in time. I need to learn more tricks for tank photography.
