Change is possible if you fight for it. Just because we're stuck in a dystopia doesn't mean we can't fight. It means we must fight.
Solid work by @ProPublica as usual.
#HopePunk, #SolarPunk, #EcoPunk are all ways to say "Hey, you know, what if we started talking and thinking about things we could do to MAYBE make the world a better place."
NEW PODCAST! Bright Green Futures is a podcast & substack where we lift up stories that imagine a more just & sustainable world & talk about the struggle to get there.
The purpose is to collect up hopeful cli-fi stories and writers in one place, so we can build community and work together to surface these stories & grow the genre.
Subscribing to the Bright Green Futures substack gets you the pod & the newsletter & a list of recommended #hopepunk and #solarpunk stories
Thanks everyone for the huge welcome, that was unexpected, and I am grateful!
Together maybe we can make a little difference, provide a little encouragement.
#HopePunk isn't about saying everything is ok. It's about saying "well, I guess everything is pretty damn far from OK, and somebody better fix it" and realizing that you're somebody. It's high time to start trying to fix it.
Wanting the make the world a better, kinder place isn't easy, but it's right.

(Halfway to Better 2)
A cute technician keeps breaking things in her too-shiny lab, then calling a fixer in for repairs. Zita’s a certified member of the International Guild of Repair Workers, Local 772, and she’s certain this hot girl is breaking her toys on purpose. But why? Something very sexy but very weird is going on…
It’s morning in Australia, which means The Heart of the Labyrinth and Other Stories is out today! Huge thanks to my family and friends for all their encouragement and support. I’m so excited to see these stories collected together and out in the world!
I was wandering around a nearby town and found a lovely little used bookstore. After slowly perusing the shelves I settled on copies of #Starhawk’s Fifth Sacred Thing and City of Refuge - grandmothers of #hopepunk.
The bookseller and I chatted about my time working in a used bookstore in #Butte#Montana and the #LaborHistory there.
It was a good day 🌟 @bookstodon

Ich bin mal wieder zum Prototypen-Testen unterwegs. Am SA und SO geht's zu den #BremerSpieletage. Unser Spiel #HopePunk hat viel Fortschritt gemacht: die Regeln sind final. Jetzt geht es ums Balancing und neue Inhalte zu testen.
Does anyone have sci-fi book suggestions that are more sci-fi utopia and world building?
I have grown up on sci-fi dystopia and I love it but since we're currently living in one I want to read something uplifting. Collection of short stories would be awesome too!
