I wrote an article on hopepunk but solarpunk is mostly these same principles applied specifically to the climate/eco part of the polycrisis. If you're interested in more about the craft of writing these stories, it's a good overview: dreamforgemagazine.com/story/rewrit...

I can’t believe this is happening. But then again I had a copy editor tell me they were using Google AI for fact checking. *Fact checking*

Glad you are making noise about this, it’s a depressing trend.

OK but this does sound like my version of Utopia 😂

Had a serious talk with a pal about how solarpunk may never take off as a genre because it's just too...*nice.* "What tension can exist in utopia?"

Curious for people's thoughts on plots for a Solarpunk setting (Beyond "we had paradise and now we have to get it back?")

This isn't totally true. Bereft of other options, undocumented immigrants often use the ER for simple needs, and Medicare pays the ER for the care.

If immigrants had access to better healthcare options, Medicare wouldn't be paying $300 for baby Tylenol in the ER. That's the actual problem.

Seriously. I am exhausted with poll after poll now showing the Dems lost support over Gaza. But journalists are still tearing their hair out over how Dems are losing steam. It is not complicated. People reject the binary "support a genocide or get fascism (that also supports genocide)"

fuckin THANK YOU
