7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.

#BaiLan- und #TangPing-Bewegungen von Chinas jungen Generationen machen mir Hoffnung. »Rumgammeln« bzw. »Lass es verroten« als passiv-aggressive Teilnahmeverweigerung am Rattenrennen. Täte uns als große Sozialbewegung auch gut.

An experiment in slow publishing, 'Wabi-sabi: Weathering Transience' has gradually emerged – page by page, cluster by cluster. This reader from FoAM's Anarchive dwells with the transient, incomplete, and inconspicuous. It invites you to wander, to watch and wait, noticing and letting things unfold. Exploring time in its many guises, it dives into the liminality of transitions. It seeks out places of enchantment and seclusion, fostering reflection on care, repair and the often neglected art of bringing things to an end. 🍂

https://anarchive.fo.am/wabisabi/

Collated by Maja Kuzmanović, Nik Gaffney, Justin Pickard and Theun Karelse, with new and 'anarchived' contributions by Alkan Chipperfield, Anna Maria Orrù, Barbara Raes, Cat Jones, Cocky Eek, Francesca da Rimini, Ingrid Vranken, Jo Vernaillen, Martin Howse, Paul Prudence, Rachid Tahri, Rasa Alksnyte, Stephen Barrass, Stevie Wishart, Sarah Neville and Timothy Morton.

TIL about the "Lying Flat" movement in China from an article about #degrowth, which immediately made me think of that Ali Wong joke: "I don't want to lean in, I want to lie down" #tangping

China can't seem to get its young college graduates into the workforce.
Young people in China are fed up with their employment prospects, so they're becoming "full-time children," "lying flat," and sprawling on the ground like a zombie.

China's youth unemployment crisis is putting the US economy at risk

China's youth are choosing to be "full-time children" instead of entering the workforce after college. It's bad for China's economy, and the world.
