A brief look at what defines #naturecore #forestcore and #solarpunk has me still wondering what label I should be using. I'm on #CortexImplant because I'm a geek who has worked in software development my whole corpo life, but I'm a child of the countryside at heart.

I grew up in rural England wandering day and night through ancient woodland and hillsides dotted with sheep. Now my house is a Florida bungalow surrounded by tropical flora and fauna and not the Cotswold cottage that my teenage self had planned. Global/local rural/virtual social/introvert the paradoxes run deep.

Ah well, guess I'm not going to find a neat label, and I'm not looking for a design aesthetic. I'm a messy human who loves trees and cats and birds and command line interfaces...

Oh, and rambling on for no good reason. I'm all about that!

@Herne I've enjoyed encountering some of these various categories also- thought solarpunk might fit me at first, but then realised it seems much more techy than I'm actually interested in (I'd like my characters embedded in a sustainable infrastructure, but mostly not to a level modern urbanites might be comfortable with..lol). Plus I'll usually want to mix in some bit of spirituality or magic etc..lol hadn't yet run into naturecore and forestcore- will have to check them out.
@Herne Welcome! Sounds like the same paradoxes that many of us wrestle with here - you're in good company. And those labels? We're all still figuring out what they mean too - help us define them!
