In 2025, with the world descending into madness and anarchy, one woman begins a fateful …
This is such a strong story and great storytelling. I frequently found myself inspired by it to reflect on how we as individuals and communities may cope with our world. Can wholeheartedly recommend! #FediBooks #Solarpunk

Looking to replace Duolingo?
Your library might provide you free access to Language Learning Apps.
No, not CDs or cassette tapes (when was the last time you were at the library? ).
Actual apps. That you download onto your phone.
My library provides me access to TWO language learning apps that compete directly with Duolingo. Mango Language App and Transparent Language App.
What apps does your library provide?
Os dejo un regalo nocturno. Un PDF descargable con el juego de rol que hice para hablar de sostenibilidad con niñes de primaria, que describo en uno de los programas de @PostApocalipsisNau

Yesterday I watched a talk that quoted "Move quietly and plant things" as a #solarpunk principle and I love that a lot.

Seeing how a lot of #solarpunk #illustration used by magazines, portals and even researchers tends to be #AI generated bullshit I'd like to start a gallery with curated, intentional and human-made #creativeCommons #art for anyone to use.
I'd also like it to be a place with #solarpunkPrompts available in multiple languages - as we have them in Polish, English and Italian - potentially cross-linked and tagged by themes.
Introducing the Tinker WriterDeck OS!
Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck: A device designed solely for writing.
No distractions.
No internet.
No apps. No games. No social media.
Just writing.
The Tinker WriterDeck is very light weight and specifically seeks to lower the barrier of entry to creating writer decks. It converts older, reused, refurbished, or inexpensive laptops into a dedicated writing machine.
A digital typewriter.
The Tinker WriterDeck sits on top of a "headless" Debian Linux image and boots directly into a console based text editor.
We're using the Tilde Text Editor because it is a simple text editor, has an intuitive User Interface, and allows for customized color schemes for light and dark modes.
Operating System download and instructions on how to convert your laptop into a dedicated writer deck for free are found here: https://tinker.sh

I made a zine about why we lift up hopeful climate fiction stories on the Bright Green Futures podcast! (plus my prior one about solarpunk)
You can download/print/share them (plus I have a handy video on the trick of folding them): https://brightgreenfutures.substack.com/p/bgf-anthology-and-zines
Ep of the pod about how the resurgence of zines is an indicator of cultural change: https://brightgreenfutures.substack.com/p/episode-27-zines-cultural-change
Must say there is something so beautiful and healing about seeing a bunch of strangers in a #repairCafe helping each other fix their rice cookers, format their laptops, sew their teddy bears, patch up their clothes, figure out ways to solve problems with what they've got right there and each other.
Highly recommended activity to restore faith in ordinary people when we see so much cruelty from the top.

Need a hopeful story? 22 students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, 4 years ago, set out to "really inspire people and the market and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future. What we’re trying to do is to show people and show companies what’s already possible.”
So they made a #solarpunk campervan fully equipped with living essentials including a double bed, sofa, kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. It can fit two people, who can drive, cook breakfast and watch television using just the vehicle’s solar-charged battery.
Then they took it on a tour of Europe driving 1,200 miles without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/stella-vita-solar-campervan-netherlands-spc-intl/index.html

Went to the community garden with the kids to do some annual maintenance and help install some accessible raised gardens.
These are high enough that you can plant without stooping so low to the ground. It also allows wheelchair users to roll up to them and plant without having to get out of their chair.
Came across some wild daffodils in the forest.
