Solarpunk Action Week: Spring 2020!

(Eventually you people are going to learn to stop encouraging me to do stuff)

Since the main organizer of the previous festivities has migrated to Mastodon pretty much exclusively, ya’girl is gonna go ahead and get started on the Tumblr side of 2020′s Solarpunk Action Week.  Mark your calendars for March 8th thru 14th!

“But Lyudmila,” you say, “why in the entire hell are you talking about March in November?” – Well, it’s never too early start learning and planning.

What is Solarpunk?

Solarpunk is a movement in speculative fiction, art, fashion and activism that seeks to answer and embody the question “what does a sustainable civilization look like, and how can we get there?” The aesthetics of solarpunk merge the practical with the beautiful, the well-designed with the green and wild, the bright and colorful with the earthy and solid. Solarpunk can be utopian, just optimistic, or concerned with the struggles en route to a better world — but never dystopian. As our world roils with calamity, we need solutions, not warnings. Solutions to live comfortably without fossil fuels, to equitably manage scarcity and share abundance, to be kinder to each other and to the planet we share. At once a vision of the future, a thoughtful provocation, and an achievable lifestyle.”

And what is Solarpunk Action Week?

Solarpunk Action Week is a week dedicated to taking and spreading actions–complex or simple, big or small–to build our communities, practice our skills, and make the world just a little bit better. Make a Tumblr post about whatever action(s) you take and tag me in or use the #SolarpunkActionWeek tag, and I’ll reblog them here and archive them over on @the-last-girl-scout.  No doubt many other blogs will be doing likewise!

What can I do?

Oh, so many things!  No, really, one of the reasons I’m making this post so far in advance is that the sheer number of possibilities can be pretty overwhelming.  What you do is up to you! but for instructions and inspiration, you should check out the Sunbeam City wiki, and I’ve spent the past year archiving how-to and educational posts over on @the-last-girl-scout (check out the #solarpunk [obvs], #gardening, #diy, #organizing, and #afa tags specifically), and you should also go ahead and follow the laundry list of blogs I’m gonna @ at the bottom of this post b/c they are all very good, and make sure and check the notes for anyone/anything I may have forgotten!

You could start a garden, flyer/sticker your neighborhood, share food w/ your pals and the neighborhood, do some self-education, learn how to make something instead of buying it, overthrow capitalism … the possibilities are endless!

Get out there and invent the future, space cadets.

listen i’m not saying you have to stan ray toro or that you shouldn’t stan any of the other members, but you can not tell me that its just a coincidence that the least popular member of mcr is also the only person of color in the band, or that the reason people don’t like him are bc “he’s unattractive” (which is such a shallow and toxic reason for not stanning someone especially when you consider his musical ability and talent that had a large contribution to the success of mcr) and that the reasons why he’s considered to be “unattractive” just so happen to be his physical features that are natural and unique to him and his cultural background in this essay i will-
