So, as someone who follows a lot of Solarpunk stuff, I would like to take a minute to address the increasingly widespread notion that Solarpunk is apolitical. All aesthetics are political, as they all make comments on materialism and traditionalism, deliberately or not. Additionally, Solarpunk is a genre of speculative fiction. Speculative fiction, by definition, presents a vision of the future. It makes statements about the values of that future. Solarpunk's character is decidedly inclusive, environmentalist, and, as is often overlooked, anti-capitalist, and the image of the future it presents reflects that.

We'll discuss the new format, go into why we had a hiatus, and cover some interesting news of the day, including coverage of the Amazon and Indian strikes, the Mysterious Monolith, and the continued bombing of the middle east.

Hey everyone it’s time for my yearly reminder. I didn’t wanna sound like a dick, but... don’t donate to the Salvation Army this Holliday season. the Salvation Army still, as a church, do the whole gay conversion thing. And a bunch of other shady shit. If you’re gonna donate to a charity this Christmas, I’d recommend one that cares about everyone. Or go out and volunteer.
I grew up always asking my mom or aunt for quarters to donate. It was a big part of Christmas for me to donate. And I was heartbroken when I learned this.

reminder that salvation army is a for-profit organisation that kicks out lgbt+ people and steals residents' possessions to sell at their stores. Please do NOT donate.

The Last Thing We Need Is To “Go Back To Normal”
After four years of having a xenophobic reality TV host in the White House, the desire to just “go back to normal” is understandable. But a return to normalcy would be disastrous, shoring up the plutocratic status quo that gave us Trump in the first place.
