Empires burn through people and places until the ground refuses to carry them anymore.
We will break them and rebuild the world they stole.

Biking between Berlin and the Baltic Sea and reading Luise Meier's utopian post-collapse novel Hyphen. Set in this region, it imagines a near future where the breakdown of electricity gives rise to mutual aid, collective care, and a post-internet encyclopedia - all growing like mycelial threads. A moral booster in these times.

Written in German, but hopefully translations are on the horizon…

A ship from the past, oil on panel, 2018.

This was the culmination of years of reading about ecology, collapse, and low tech, + my experience sailing on historical ships 100 years old.

"what’s going to happen in 3 million years...That’s not important. But what happens tomorrow is not important either. What’s important is what happens in the first generation after 2050...That first generation after 2050 is going to determine whether or not technological humanity reemerges from an eclipse, or whether Homo sapiens becomes just another marginal primate species." https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-collapse-is-coming-will-humanity-adapt/ re: a not #postapocalyptic but #postcollapse future
The Collapse Is Coming. Will Humanity Adapt?

An evolutionary biologist and a science fiction writer walk into a bar... and mull over survival.

Some soothing work from a few years ago. Tools: Blender and Krita.

I understand that #FollowFriday is a thing.

My internet presence revolves around #poetry and #shortstories which primarily tell very personal tales about broken people in a #folklore #postcollapse setting. And once a week I write a frustrated #column.

Let’s play a game, to help some of the newcomers (like me) make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren’t in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same!

@NiwlCraft I love so much about this piece but the water rendering in particular is really wonderful
@NiwlCraft So much light! And so strong! Amazing work there!
@NiwlCraft Oh that’s gorgeous. My unconscious reaction before reading your post or studying the detail (like the fact it’s a container ship!) was “which Dutch master is this from?”.
I would like to formally endorse this utopia.
@NiwlCraft Bravo! That is some stunning oil work.
@NiwlCraft Reminds me of reading Ship Breaker and The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
This looks great, especially the water and the reflections!
