We've added a new page on phytoremediation, mycoremediation, and bioremediation to the slrpnk.net/c/writing solarpunk worldbuilding resource wiki: https://wiki.slrpnk.net/writing:phytoremediation_bioremediation_mycoremediation

It's very much a work in progress so if you'd like to make additions or corrections feel free to reach out!

Similarly, if you have your own writing research to share, or you'd like to put together an introduction to your special interest so writers get it right, we'd love to hear from you!

I want to highlight something as it relates to starting up new community groups - whether it be this Linux Install Party or a Food group or whatever...

Folks often worry that they will have to do it all on their own. But I've found that once you get something going, other folks in town will come help out. If you do the work of getting a place, loosely organizing it, and providing the basic tools needed, plenty of folks will show up to lend a hand.

To put it another way, many people are looking for ways to help or to hang out or to just make their town better. And they're just waiting at home for someone to give them something to do.

If you do the part of giving them something to do, they'll help you out.

For example, look at this screenshot. I just posted the Linux Install Party in the town's sub reddit. It was NOT a call for volunteers. It was just a posting about the event and welcoming folks to come hang out.

And someone posted up wanting to help out with the event.

This happens all the time, no matter what type of event. Just put something together. Have a place, a time, and the things you want to do. And others will help you out.

If you know (or are!) someone who can work in the sort of painterly, exaggerated but realistic-ish style frequently used by pulp adventure books and magazines in the 50s and 60s we'd love to talk!

We've still got most of the funds from the first commission attempt available, and can flex a bit to get this made.

For a bit of an idea what we're looking for, I've attached a sketch from when we were talking things out with our first artist.

For the last couple years I've been working on a #solarpunk TTRPG treasure hunting adventure where the players search a mostly-abandoned town (undergoing deconstruction and rewilding) for industrial waste illegally dumped there decades before.

I had hired an artist to paint the cover art in the style of pulp adventure novels, as the campaign inverts and riffs on those sort of lost city tropes. Unfortunately they had to drop out for life-happened reasons. So we're looking for an artist!

2. If it is "nuts" to dismiss this experience, then it would be "nuts" to dismiss mine: I have seen many, many high profile people in tech, who I have respect for, take *absolutely unhinged* risks with LLM technology that they have never, in decades-long careers, taken with any other tool or technology. It reads like a kind of cognitive decline. It's scary. And many of these people are *leaders* who use their influence to steamroll objections to these tools because they're "obviously" so good

We've been continuing to add resources to the worldbuilding wiki hosted by slrpnk.net's writing community!

In addition to adding a bunch of new information to almost every existing page, we've added pages for landfill mining and rough mounding (a system for habitat restoration in drastically damaged sites).

If you have a solarpunk special interest you want writers to know about or get right in their stories, feel free to reach out!

Just gonna say that if you lock your zines up behind intellectual property and never release the PDFs then I actually can't do shit to save your work and keep it in circulation.

(It's also on Steam, but I finally made a page on itch.io and uploaded the latest version of the demo there too. Maybe a little backwards but doing my best, hoping to reach indie game lovers one way or another!)
