Fight for the Future

Evergreen sentiment :) #OSHWA did an excellent riff on the subject last year (psssst, y'all should make lots more of these!!):

I just finished reading Neon Riders by @AEMarling and what a ride (pun intended)! Imagining a #SolarPunk future is difficult, and one of the most difficult aspects of that future to imagine is how we conceptualize justice and how we treat those who do harm. While there are a lot of positive aspects to the San Francisco in the story, the characters are still human, still flawed, and still wrestle with the conflicts that will arise between those who wish to participate and those who wish to exploit. There's no easy and obvious solution, and I think the story does a good job of reflecting the necessarily messy process of a community and its individuals trying to work that out. I loved the 24-hour library, replacing car infrastructure with gardens, and the description of the NT. The descriptions of violence were difficult for me at times because of my trauma history, and I'm not sure I would have picked this up if I'd known the extent of it; that's not a shortcoming of the book, just a reflection of my experience. Violence and injustice and conflict are things we need to understand, dream about, and talk about if we're going to make a better world, and I think this story is a good step on that journey.

Fully Automated! Solarpunk Tabletop RPG

Get ready for adventures in a world both alien and familiar! Fully Automated is a complete, open-source tabletop RPG set on a recovering earth in our post-capitalist future! Overwhelmed by war, poverty, and climate collapse, many humans expected the twenty-first century to be humanity's last. But in the face of a global meltdown, the Gaiean civilization underwent a global revolution. Now food is free and workers run the world. But a permanent weekend doesn't guarantee that things are always easy: sometimes... anarchy can be a little chaotic. Fully Automated is by and for fans of cyberpunk, space opera, and classic sci-fi who've grown bored of the doomerism inherent in most futures on offer. The result is a scientificially and politically informed post-scarcity setting of endless possibility! Create the characters of your dreams! Adventure across wild environments! Whether you're already a fan of optimistic futures or about to become one, Fully Automated is a great place to find ready-to-run games and interesting bits and pieces to spice up your homebrew work and creative writing. And when you do, share freely with a growing fan community on Discord and Lemmy, where you don't need to wait to get pre-release drafts of upcoming playable adventures!

I really enjoy the combination of technical and conceptual prefiguring in this project description #reticulum #solarpunk

"The future of this technology is a construction project... You have the tools. You have the philosophy. The noise of the old world has fallen away, leaving you with the quiet clarity of the open spectrum"

Using Every Part Of The Car – A Resource For Solarpunk Writers And Artists

One of my ongoing goals is to emphasize reuse in solarpunk media – both through my own projects and whenever I get the chance while helping others through suggestions or editing. There’…

This one is a little more editorial than some of the other pages, (which are closer to being lists of links) but it’s a complicated topic which needs some introduction.

And to be honest I think about this topic a lot, as someone who always has more projects going than he can finish, and because I really hate this (capitalist) idea that people are inherently lazy and won’t work unless compelled to with the threat of poverty, starvation, homelessness etc

Added a new page on work in #solarpunk settings to the slrpnk.net/c/writing worldbuilding resource wiki:

Like all the other pages in the wiki it's an ongoing project so if you want to add anything please reach out!
