7.7: Ariel & Christina Discuss Living with a Disability as a Solarpunk

Today Christina talks to Ariel about what it's been like to live as a solarpunk with a visible - and then invisible - disability. Science fiction has spent decades dreaming of how future tech will make disabled people able to function as if they were fully abled. Now solarpunk has arrived on the scene to ask why should disabled bodies have to always be the ones to adapt? It can be uncomfortable, intrusive - not to mention expensive. Solarpunk wonders why can't cities, society, workplaces, and the like be the ones to use the tech to make themselves more accessible to and inclusive of disabled people?

Tune in as Ariel and Christina discuss the portrayal of disability in science fiction and solarpunk and how having to suddenly live with a disability opens your eyes to many of the ways cities fail people with disabilities.

Tonight! #solarpunkPresentsPodcast is hosting the May #solarpunk hangout at 8pm EST. Our topic (should you choose to pursue it) is public #transit - what's it like where you are? What could it be like? What are the steps from where we are now to where you'd like to be?

Link to the video chat will be posted on our Patreon later today. Hope to see you there!

DATE CHANGE for solarpunk hangout! Instead of Thursday May 29, it will be Friday May 30 at 8pm EST / 5pm PST / 2am in Berlin (sorry Christina...) My apologies for the eleventh-hour switch; I hope this doesn't put anyone out.

Solarpunk topic this time is public transit - what's it like where you are? what do you wish it was like? do you have any fave places for public transit and what makes them so great? what would it take to make it great in your neck of the woods, do you think?

Again, no pressure to answer any of the above q's; they're there for topics of convo if you'd like to use them or not.

I'll be posting a link a bit before the hangout on our Patreon, which you can join for as little as $1USD per month at https://www.patreon.com/solarpunkpresents. The hangout is available to all supporters 😀 Hope to see some of you there!
