Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

And after a while you just stop. You stop watering your plants. You stop watching netflix. You stop reading. You stop replying to your friends as fast as you used to. You stop buying yourself nice things. You stop putting an effort into how you look. You stop taking care of yourself like you used to. You stop sleeping. You stop eating healthy foods. You stop petting your dog. You stop socializing.

You stop with everything. You find yourself sitting in your room for hours on end, without doing a single thing. Days feel like years. And you think you can’t do it for much longer.

as always this doesn't apply to every country but the stigma against sleeping in public - which is definitely based in anti homeless ideology - ends up harming disabled people. like you can't go somewhere safe or quiet, even places you pay for, and take a 20 minute nap because it's "unsightly". but if you're too exhausted to move it's also pretty unsafe to tell you to just get out and have you stumbling around traffic or isolated and dangerous places instead. someone napping ot their café table or in the library or on the sun loungers on the beach are doing you no harm

Maybe controversial opinion but my favorite trope in solarpunk is the “building a better world with or without your permission” rather than stories focusing on the end goal of solarpunk.

My first solarpunk collection I read was Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation and The Boston Hearth Project by T.X. Watson is not only my favorite story in that book specifically, but probably my favorite solarpunk story of all time. (So far)

It’s told in an essay style, beginning with email correspondence about a college essay and the security of information sent to the college, due to the illegal nature of the story. In the essay part, the writer discusses how they use tech to break into The Hale Center, a self supported smart building that houses its own closed ecosystem. It’s supposed to be used for wealthy business men, but the main characters have a better use for it. The story is set in Massachusetts, and it discusses the deaths of homeless people due to polar vortices caused by climate change, and basically the story is about them taking over the building to house the homeless population.

It’s a really great read and obviously i recommend it. I don’t want to reveal too much, but I really think it embodies solarpunk perfectly with both the high tech part of the building (and the tech used by the characters) and the -punk part of repurposing a building meant for the wealthy for the people who need it most.

A dragon sticks with his hoard no matter what! Not that Swordfish isn’t enjoying this. He’s having the time of his life there!

Also, his and Hopper’s enamel pins are still here for 6 days, after which they will disappear permanently.

Here, if you’d like to check them out!

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?
