Man, assuming they have the money, indigenous tribes also in the US could do some amazing solarpunk shit. Renewable energy like this, rewilding and traditional sustainable land management, maybe even guaranteed housing in a communal setting. But they have a hard time getting the feds to give them the funding for the treaty-mandated healthcare shit as it is.

Black Forager, whom I mostly follow on F-book.

I got into solarpunk mostly because I'm too butch for cottagecore, but I might be too granny to satisfy the punk requirements. I wanna stay on my couch and knit, you guys, I'm so tired.

 

IDK if this is quite solarpunk, but it's some kind of eco-punk.

This guy films himself cleaning up culverts and street drains, mostly in the New England region of the US, with a rake and hip waders. He bitches about beavers and idiots with excavators and has a lot of technical opinions on road engineering that I find interesting for no good gawddamn reason.

Props to him if he makes a decent amount on these videos. Better than customer service work.

maybe too this will offset all my Kindle recommendations from the trash romance novels I borrowed via Kindle on my library's ebook app. I don't actually want to purchase trash romance novels, thank you, just trash slice-of-life isekai manga

As ironic as it is to purchase yon library-economy-promoting book, our comrades still need that cash money to function in real life. And this indie ebook is significant cheaper than the last mainstream ebook I bought.

Yeah, the sticky thing is that money is a useful, often convenient social construct, but I am not educated enough to know if it's possible to effectively uncouple it from the baggage of capitalism.

Like how marriage can be a useful legal construct, buuuuuuut most of that is about property rights, and originates from when women WERE the property to be regulated. :/

I don't like that, but I am a card-carrying member of the Cult of Baths. I want to be inundated, stewed, and marinated

Well damn, maybe I need to git gud at Spanish so I can read the public domain punk shit instead of needing to buy the translation.

 

Jumping from a previous post on education. Feel free to skip the first 7:30 minutes (which mostly defines solarpunk as a concept, I think we're good on that in this space), but this seems like this Human Restoration Project is a good thing with the wonk behind it to make it functional.

I have mixed feelings about it because I am fairly familiar with educational neglect, having been trapped in an strongly underfunded rural Midwest high school where the football coach was also the history teacher and the science teacher and the music teacher (and from secondhand info, the agriculture science teacher) just gave the fuck up on us (we only had one of each of those).

But I'm already convinced that most testing and grading are, in fact, bullshit, as per yootube attached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe-SZ_FPZew&t=3s

Maybe it's just 'cause I have a useless literature degree, but reading AI text feels uncanny-valley. Factual impossibilities aside, it does not flow like how amateur or bad writers write, let alone good writing.

On the one hand, it seems more practical, but on the other hand, infrastructure takes FOREVER to put in place and my lifeblood is gushing out of my wallet in the current time.
