I am trying to read more climate fiction and solar punk this year, so I welcome recommendations. So far I've read Cory Doctorow's The Lost Cause and Annalee Newitz's Terraformers.

On my list to read is:
Kim Stanley Robinson -The Ministry For The Future and
Omar El Akkad - American War

I could use a few more.

Can you spot the difference? Yes, the day is finally here (well, technically it's not yet, the electrician is coming out to do the interconnect with Georgia Power tomorrow)! I'm so excited that GeorgiaBright (free loans for solar installs if you're below a certain income threshold so you don't have any upfront payment) made this possible for me, I never thought I'd be able to do it!

The same small white house, but now the right half of the roof is covered in solar panels.

It makes me happy that there are academics studying hopeful climate storytelling. (I'm setting up an interview for my participation in the second study of this type)

Question for all my peeps:
My library has recently opened recording booths, which I've been using for music (still learning production stuff tho). But I've had another idea: Would there be interest if I started a podcast reading Solarpunk short stories? Like unofficial audio versions of independent stuff that doesn't necessarily have the budget to hire professionals? I also want permission from authors cause I would be trying to make $$ doing it.
Suggestions? Thoughts?

Beschreibe deine liebste Nebenfigur. Warum ist es deine liebste?

Ich schreibe Kurzgeschichten; die sind von ihrer Handlung und von der Figurenzahl auf das Notwendigste reduziert. Manchmal gibt es gar keine Nebenfiguren wie in »Die alte Tapete«; vielfach sind fast alle Figuren außer der Hauptfigur Antagonisten wie in »Die Parabel vom müden Wanderer« oder »Die Saat des Zorns«.

Sophie Petrović in »Devide et non impera«, der -Geschichte, hat wohl das größte Potential. Sie ist eine alleinerziehende Mutter von zwei Kindern, die ihren Lebensunterhalt verdient, indem sie auf weitere Kinder aufpasst und den Gemeinschaftsgarten bewirtschaftet. Sie fühlt sich für mich nach einer warmen Person an.

Damit ist sie in dieser Geschichte aber nicht die Einzige. Leider haben die Nebenfiguren in dieser Geschichte kaum Platz, weil sie so kurz sein muss.

I’ve always been a bit confused about people pushing for more nuclear, especially folks that have historically been climate change deniers. I gotta say that I almost conceded to the idea that it might be needed to curb emissions, but @srslywrong effectively shattered that. https://srslywrong.com/podcast/308-the-case-for-100-wind-water-solar-to-combat-climate-change-w-mark-z-jacobson-2/

Did you know that you can purchase an electric vehicle for as little as $1,000?

Not only that, these vehicles also:

  • Can skip traffic jams
  • Be parked virtually anywhere
  • Get over 1,000 mpge
  • Emits no harmful air pollution
  • Don't require a government permit or expensive insurance
  • Can easily be repaired by yourself, and don't require long waits at expensive dealerships
  • Include optional exercise equipment, allowing you to choose to get exercise while in transit (if you want) and skip the gym membership
  • Can be operated by people of almost any age, so your kids can now transport themselves

What is this vehicle I'm describing? Some sort of newfangled flying car? A quantum teleporter?

No: It is the humble electric bicycle.

Spread the word.

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.

Deswegen fiel es mir so leicht, die Geschichte in der -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 »« 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 (or lunarpunk) aspects of and 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 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.

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.

In case you missed it, my short story collection is now available in print and ebook!

These hopeful 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
