Also, it has good examples of nonviolent bravery.

As much as I love bioluminescence, it is too dim to do more than mark paths.
I take it LED’s have trouble producing a single wavelength?
Thanks! Feels like they recommend something closest to option two. https://darksky.org/resources/guides-and-how-tos/lighting-principles/
I do not have much faith in motion sensors differentiating between animals and humans. Also, if they only turn on when your close, that might not help with perceived danger.
I only read the solarpunk specific posts, and it is very positive. (I get more negative news when I’m ready for it on Bluesky.)
Not very topical, but hilarious nonetheless.
Well, it is a legit question for solarpunks whether or not they should engage in a dead-end system, so I wanted to talk about it.
If you can’t be bothered to spend half a day voting when it could save the lives of people in your community, you are too far gone to reason with. Or just a fascist shill.
You can burn down the system any day. Voting comes only once every few years.
It can be two things. One, a person can be viscerally repulsed from voting for soulless politicians like Harris. That is understandable, though I do my best to urge people to vote for her anyway.
Two, it could be a paid shill only pretending to care for Palestinian lives, trying to prevent anyone from voting who isn’t a Trump cultist.
And if you read the post or watch the video instead of trying to discourage people from voting, you will see I have considered this and speak to it.
If you read more than the post title or watch the video, you will see that I talk about this critical issue.
Yes, solarpunk is political. And while capitalist would-be-lords try to buy out elections, it is important you oppose them by voting. Locally, vote for candidates who support solarpunk values such as public transit and green infrastructure.
If you, like me, have the misfortune of living in the USA with its death economy, we need to vote and register others to vote for a candidate who is part of that bad system: Kamala Harris. A corporate Dem is at best a bandage for the open wound of fascism. Harris is not a solution. But if you don’t vote for her, that wound is going to get even more rotten.
