Act with intent.
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

The corporations and industrialists can't be allowed to win unopposed.

A list of some #HopePunk books. I've read some, some I haven't.

What are your favorites?

Gandalf quote (from the movie, not the book) that I find very #HopePunk indeed.

"Some believe that it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I've found. I found it is the small things. Every day deeds by ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay."

#noAI
AI should be used for stuff like finding cancer cells, not stuff like making art.

#CyberPunk vs #SolarPunk

It's a simplified meme but they got the right idea!

#SolarPunk, #EcoPunk, and #HopePunk are all 100% about fighting to make the world a better place. Weaponized kindness. Energized caring for each other. Active support of community and the planet.

And fuck greedy capitalists and those who think they're capitalists when all they are is exploited workers looking to shit on others so they feel better about their misery.

I'm looking into cargo bikes for urban areas so I can reduce my footprint.
Any suggestions?

Priority is ability to transport a few groceries, ease of lockup, and lack of ridiculous cost. I don't need electric or anything, but I do need it to be there when I get out of the store...

Small success - even in a tiny place in a city, I have my own little garden started.
I mean, it's small enough that it fits on a windowsill, but it's a start.
It gives me some hope :)

Even a small raised garden, if you have the space for it, can be a very hopeful thing.

Always nice to see when someone designs a modern device with repairability and long life in mind:

Is this #SolarPunk? Not sure what 'repairable by design' tech is. Obviously, it should be commonplace but... it's not

One of the things I really enjoy about the fedi is that when you post a meme with an article, you get actually useful discussion about it.

Social media in action, right there.

We definitely need a future that involves more than just parking lots and heat islands. It's awesome to see successes like in Düsseldorf

Cyberpunk dystopia?
No thanks.
I like my sci-fi #SolarPunk flavored.

America's first sustainable urban agrihood in Detroit.
"The three-acre development has vacant land, along with occupied and abandoned homes centered around a two-acre urban garden, with more than 300 organic vegetable varieties, like lettuce, kale, and carrots, as well as a 200-tree fruit orchard, with apples, pears, plums, and cherries, a children’s sensory garden, and more."

"She still thought her future looked bleak," Murdoch said. "And I couldn't understand that. And she said, well, look at all the young adult books [that] are about dystopias. Look at the television shows. Look at the films. Everything about the future is dystopian."

No shit. We live in a dystopia under the heel of people who want to make it worse.

We have to imagine a better future so that we can fight for a better future.
