go raibh míle maith agat!

fuair mé botún 404 :(

eep, that’s devastating! but fair play to you for keeping at it! 🙌

grúpa ar bith ag an am sin! ní dhearna mé dadaidh anuraidh seachas cúpla agóidí a fhreastal ar son na palaistíne ⁊ ar son na gaeilge 🫣

urban foraging is cool as hell! 🙌

bonus points if the seeds of edible plants are also being thrown into unused spaces in towns/cities, to allow more people to forage :D

it really depends, there are people who use solar power who aren’t solarpunk at all, and people who don’t use solar power at all who are very solarpunk!

i’d recommend a quick read of the solarpunk manifesto to give you an overview of what it’s like: https://slrpnk.net/post/350429

there’s the artistic side of solarpunk, because being able to imagine a better world in the first place is vital. then there’s the more practical side of solarpunk, where people are focused on making that better world happen here & now, on a global & local scale.

as you can imagine, the practical side of solarpunk would be pretty far-reaching, so it’s hard to know what resources to share, but there are a load of cool resources already in various communities on the solarpunk instance, so you might want to check out any that take your fancy. there’re resources on everything from foraging your own plants to prison abolition and landback!

thanks a million, here’s to more in-person activism in 2026! 🥂🍻

i wouldn’t mind being a moderator for !inperson@slrpnk.net ! in-person activism is something that i’m trying to focus more on these days myself :)

i’m always trying to take notes & inspiration from solarpunk stories about what can be done here & now, so for me, if a story’s setting is post-apocalyptic or society only improved after some extinction event getting rid of most humans, i tend to skip it.

most of us have been consuming (or at least couldn’t avoid hearing about) apocalypse-themed media for our whole lives. i think it’s really important for us as a society to work on imagining a non-apocalyptic world, because we need to imagine something before we can make it reality. 🙌

clay/earthen/cob houses might be the way to go in your neck of the woods! they used to be the go-to house here in central & eastern ireland, which isn’t a million miles away, climate-wise.

they’re surprisingly warm in winter & keep out the damp easily (i assume because they’re more porous than bricks-and-mortar).

the main obstacle here in ireland is getting planning permission to build anything that’s even slightly out of the norm. 😅

land back! the sooner, the better
