It does feel like #China is probably gonna be the lynchpin of a #solarpunk #future in many of the poorest parts of the world #Africa #Asia #SouthAmerica

The veritable flood of #solar and #batteries and #EV along with cheap #communication #technology is laying the foundation of all the cool things #solarpunk usually dreams about.

The local library is doing the Repair Cafe!!! This is an initial event. Im hoping we can do something like this monthly once we get it going!!!

Repair Cafes are community events where people bring things to get fixed and maintained for free. Volunteers come to hang out, talk shop, and work on folks' items.

This is a mutual-aid event - So folks might be good at fixing bicycles but arent as good at mending jeans. So they might bring their jeans to get patched and then help tune a bicycle!

While my library has asked if I can help with desktop support (which I'm more than willing to do), I actually really like working on bicycles! So I let them know I could do that, too.

I'm at my bandwidth with creating and organizing things with the Free Fridges and Food Rescue, but I absolutely can join an volunteer on the days of if all I have to do is show up, hang out, and tinker on some repairs!

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!

Check out these awesome stickers from my friend @stetstudio.bsky.social! I also have one that says "solar-powered punk" on my laptop. LOVE IT.

We are seeing the first Solar Panels, made from Recycled Solar Panels,
in factories powered by Solar Panels.
These are early steps in a closed loop system which should power humanity for centuries to come with minimal environmental impacts and with doubtless more improvements to come. #SolarPunk

This is your seasonal reminder that all acorns are edible. Many acorns require leaching. For instructions on how to leach acorns and recipe ideas, see the thread below.

I can't find it now, but I remember a video of a remote community getting power for the first time. The people of the village are unloading solar panels from a small boat, and carrying them up to the village on foot. Electric lighting, refrigeration, communication. The possibilities that even a small solar install can have are incredible.

Seattle Worldcon 2025 was an incredible experience! A huge shout-out to everyone who came to every panel with the word "solarpunk" in it like it was their job.

My big takeaway is that we're all looking for hopeful visions of the future - the people want solarpunk! So honored to be able to present my research and network with amazing authors & organizers in such a beautiful city.
