I keep seeing people asking ‘is solarpunk really punk?’ because it’s too happy and optimistic and stuff

and I’m picturing a perfect moment in a solarpunk community — the neighbourhood mayor standing with a shit-eating grin on her face when the cops come and cut them off from city power, and nothing turns off

the ananke society; book trailer

hello all, it’s been quite some time since i have uploaded anything! I come back bearing the gifts of a book trailer for the ananke society, a WIP of mine. 

A lot of you are probably familiar with the ananke society, but it has gotten an overhaul since the last you’ve heard from me, and a proper reintroduction will be coming soon. 

clips used in the making of this trailer come from the movies Kill Your Darlings, the Riot Club, Ginger & Rosa, Dead Poets Society, and Nowhere Boy. song used is September Song by Agnes Obel.

So I’m trying to prove a point to my cousin, who thinks that it’s weird for boys to be in a ballet class.

Reblog if you think boys can be in ballet, like if you think they can’t.

Don’t bother following me if you think they can’t.

Ko-Fi & Other Support

If you enjoy my posts and can afford it, I would greatly appreciate it if you donated to my new ko-fi page! Each of these posts represents multiple hours of unpaid labor. I love writing for this blog, but I’m also an underpaid 20-something trying to stay afloat. I’ve made this master post of every essay I’ve written for this blog as a way to show my appreciation in advance of any support. If you donate, to further show my gratitude and appreciation, I’ll take requests for essay topics in the ‘messages of support.’ 

If you can’t afford to donate via ko-fi, another great way to show your support is simply by reblogging posts that you find useful and helping my blog reach new writers. 

Thanks so much!
