I've been trying to get a newsletter out for months. I finally finished it! Yeah, me!

It goes out tomorrow.

"Maybe dystopia isn't so bad." << pun?

Some musing on this, plus a bit about potent magic and updates to my recommended #reading list.

I'm very taken with Proud Pink Sky by @redfern . And, Refern, I'm wondering if it would not only be what you call Ambitopia, but also what my friend Cameron Roberson calls #solarpunk noir.

I haven't yet finished the novel--about 75% in. No spoilers!!!

The City is Breathing: Solarpunk Noir. Please Don't Call it Cyberpunk

Solarpunk noir is not a direct critique of cyberpunk, so writing at length in opposition is counterproductive.

I newslettered.

โ€œIf life is a cloud, and a story is a face in the cloud, then a storyteller is one who feels compelled to stare at the cloud until they find a face.โ€

I'll be on 3 panels at Philcon this weekend. Two adjacent to #climate fiction and #solarpunk , which are my jam. If you're in the Philly (US) area, join us.

ps After 2 Witchcamps and Quasar this Fall, I'm looking forward to a few months without events! This is last one of the season for me.

I love bringing #solarpunk to #Witches.

This weekend I'm teaching at Worldwide Witchcamp (an online camp in the #activist Reclaiming Tradition). Some knew of solarpunk. Most didn't. We have folx from Turtle Island and so-called Australia in the class.

Last week I was at an in-person Witchcamp in Texas (Turtle Island) offering the same delicious work.

Reclaiming Trad is so solarpunk anyway, I'm just making the connections.

Since THE WORKING was recently selected by @sarenaulibarri as one of the five "best" (worth reading) #solarpunk books, thought I'd remind everyone that the novel contains tools for #resilience & agency, and I donate all royalties to #climate #justice organizations.

@fivebooks I'm delighted that @sarenaulibarri includes THE WORKING among the 5 best #solarpunk books. โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜Š

>>> It's next to @pluralistic 's The Lost Cause = triple delighted!

I also loved @r_emrys A Half-Built Garden and look forward to reading Implanted by Lauren Teffeau and Neon Riders by @AEMarling
