Viele liebe Menschen klammern sich noch immer an #Marx und dessen fossilen #Sozialismus oder an eine marktradikale Lesart von #Smith.
Dabei hat die #Wirtschaftswissenschaft doch nicht im 19. Jahrhundert geendet und faszinierende Forscherinnen & Forscher hervorgebracht. Für das Überleben der #Klimakatastrophe und #Wasserkrise sowie den #Solarpunk empfehle ich Elinor #Ostrom - die erste Frau, die 1 sog. Wirtschaftsnobelpreis erhielt.
#PhantastikPrompts 02.05.
Was war die erste Idee, die zu deinem aktuellen Projekt geführt hat? (Vielleicht eine Figur, eine Handlung, ein Ort, Gegenstand, Thema …)
Diese Frage habe ich mir ausgedacht, weil mir aufgefallen ist, dass mir immer Folgendes passiert: Wenn ich versuche, mir eine Geschichte auszudenken, und mit einer Figur, Handlung oder Ort beginne, stellt sich mir sofort die Frage nach dem Thema. Und solange ich mir die nicht beantworten kann, komme ich nicht weiter.
#PhantastikPrompts 2/2
Deswegen fiel es mir so leicht, die Geschichte in der #Solarpunk-Welt zu schreiben: Ich fragte mich einfach, wie man das größte Hindernis auf dem Weg dorthin überwinden kann. Damit war das Thema klar. Daraus entstanden dann Handlung und die Szenen.
Für »#Neuropunk« wusste ich, dass neurodivergenten Menschen Hürden in den Weg gestellt werden, die ihre Fähigkeiten missachten und entwerten (Thema). Voilà ein altes Zitat: »Leed you pigs into the slaughter« wörtlich umgesetzt.
In the recently resurfaced debate about #solarpunk (or lunarpunk) aspects of #web3 and #blockchain I'm intrigued by one aspect:
Why do we accept being given a solution without outlining the problem in the first place?
Why don't we listen to #DAO pitches instead of asking ourselves how we want to run our communities, how do we want to make decisions, vote, discuss things?
Just stating the problem first would make it very clear that there are multiple technical solutions, not just the Web3.
Gdyby ktoś chciał się podzielić wrażeniami (luźno i online) z czytania "Psalmu dla zbudowanych w dziczy", to za trzy tygodnie będzie okazja (tzn. znając poziom dygresyjności tych spotkań, co najmniej połowa rozmowy będzie o czymkolwiek tylko nie o książce - żeby nie było, że nie ostrzegałem).
Jest takie fajne miejsce niedaleko, które mogłoby się stać żywą wioską edukacyjną, pokazującą możliwości regeneracji porzuconych terenów przemysłowych (w środku tej gęstwiny jest stary plac przeładunkowy, utwardzony i z własną bocznicą). #permakultura#low-tech #regeneracja#koleje#IRL#Solarpunk może.
Jak zwykle będę badał temat niezależnie od odzewu, ale jak ktoś chciałby pomóc, to będzie mile widziane.
"Benjamín Maldonado is a 21 year old Chilean doing his BA Cultural Anthropology thesis on solarpunk. He’s created a really interesting survey to try and take the temperature of the scene. It only takes about 5 minutes to complete and he’s said he’ll share the findings.
In case you missed it, my #solarpunk short story collection is now available in print and ebook!
These hopeful #climatefiction stories take you from the bottom of the sea to the towers of a bot-filled city, from sparkling labs to flooded lighthouses, all imagining futures halfway to a better world.
"You are my Sunshine" is a song that hums with all the notes of clifi, from the horrifying to the hopeful. Its titular novelette is a bone-chilling plunge into the terrifying depths of our climate reality. Octavia Cade @octaviacade weaves the same spell of sobering disquiet found in her novella, THE IMPOSSIBLE RESURRECTION OF GRIEF, to this collection of sunflowers, starfish & submarine paths to reworlding. A magnificent read. @StelliformPress #clifi#climatefiction#solarpunk#bookreview#sff
We wanted to have a quiet afternoon and so we went to go to Kapej Coffee on the Brown Line. It is one of our favorite places in #Chicago with some of the best #coffee in the city. In fact, the owner was roasting coffee fresh in a little alcove off the counter.
Is there anything you could recommend for him to see, any place to visit, people to meet? Do you know anyone from #freifunk who could show him how the network works?
He might not be into software or hardware enough to appreciate cBase, he is more interested in city scale transport systems, urban planning and so on.
Before, the articles mainly had skyscrapers with shrubs on them and pictures of the singapore gardens, which, you know, look solarpunk but don't quite carry the spirit as much as this one does.
Hidden Lotus Herbs is getting ready to move to our new #farm site and really ramp up our operations!
For some backstory,
I was the recipient of a fund from @coop to start a worker-owned #cooperative and decided to make it an herbal apothecary!
We've been operational for around six months and are now starting our regenerative agroecological farm and increasing the capacity of our free clinic.
However, the #renewableenergy systems we're building are more expensive than we budgeted for, and we could use some help getting the farm and clinic going financially.
We're really needing help from our community to make all this cool stuff happen!
If you can spare some $, please consider supporting our transition and future. If you can't, please share far and wide!
"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality."
Been on this #solarpunk binge lately so I'm reading and watching all about earthship construction, packed dirt tyre and earthbag walling, thermal mass air conditioning, water retention earthworks and permaculture berms and swales... all without need for electricity.
I'm familiar with passive house engineering but this stuff is fascinating. Rather surprisingly... why aren't we doing it more? That needs to change!
I'm going to sew some more of my seeds today which means I need to find some pots or other weird and wonderful things to plant them in!
Can't wait until we move and I can sort out a proper garden rather than planting into pots and wellies and who knows what else to grow stuff (not that there's anything wrong with that and it's definitely a good started for me as I have no idea what I'm doing - I just prefer to be able to design and plan everything).
