A ship from the past, oil on panel, 2018.
This was the culmination of years of reading about ecology, collapse, and low tech, + my experience sailing on historical ships 100 years old.

A #SolarPunk#Camp is taking place this week.
solpunk.ukrudt.net
Unfortunately due to healthy issues I cannot attend.
But I wish good luk!
So my local library's makerspace offered a free event where they brought in a bunch of old tower computers, printers, game consoles, etc., - laid out a bunch of iFixit toolkits - and let everyone (kids and adults alike) take everything apart!!!
One kid was hesitant because they didn't want to break anything and the library staff were like, none of it works. We're recycling and throwing everything out afterwards! Go hog wild, you won't get in trouble! You're meant to break it and take it apart!
The kid was absolutely enthusiastic and went to town!
I got to be a kid again and go into detail about all the computer parts and what each of the hardware did. It was awesome watching my children and other kids and adults interact, share tools, show off what they found.
I spoke with the organizer afterwards and asked if this was a regular thing and he said that he didn't have enough old equipment to make it regular. I laughed and said all of my friends have CLOSETS FULL OF THIS STUFF and the idea of giving it to a bunch of kids and adults to play with would bring joy and meaning to their life, lol!
I gave him the time to meet up with @fxbghackers and told him to make a community announcement about needing old electronics for donation to take apart and he'd get truck loads.
Just another way community helps each other out. This is post scarcity education.

My "Single-Unit Hydroponic Grow Bin" 2.0
This thread will show how to build the grow bin and then follow along for six weeks as the example veggies grows.
(This is an upgrade from my proof of concept found here: infosec.exchange/@tinker/11132…)
The goal of this grow bin is:
- To be small enough to fit in most places (the diameter of the base is 7 inches).
- To be self contained with everything needed to grow a plant.
- To be passive / automated / hands off - plant the seed, wait six weeks, harvest.
- To be exceedingly cheap (with bulk supplies, the individual unit cost comes out to about $10)
- Not require a lot of maintenance.
- To be simple to make.
- To be powered by a wall socket or USB battery (for folks charging batteries using one off solar panels).
This answers the obstacles of hydroponics being portrayed as requiring an expensive startup cost, having dedicated or expansive space for hydroponic growing, require special or complex equipment, or special knowledge and skills.
IT'S ADHD FRIENDLY!!!!
Start growing whenever you get around to it. Doesn't require following growing seasons.
Once you start growing, you can forget about it until it's done growing.
This grow bin utilizes the Kratky method of hydroponics.
(See how-to build in following thread.)

On this #TransDayOfVisiblity, I want to specifically highlight Bernie Wagenblast.
She is one of the famous announcer voices for New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority! (See video for demonstration)
From her wikipedia page: Bernie Wagenblast is a transportation journalist, radio personality and voice-over artist. She is the founder and editor of the Transportation Communications Newsletter. She also edits The AASHTO Daily Transportation Update, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and hosts AASHTO's ETAP Podcast and the ITE Talks Transportation podcast for the Institute of Transportation Engineers.
Trans folks putting the 'trans' in public transit!

Inovativní přístup jordánských a katarských vědců spočíval v umístění sekundární věže na vnější stranu stoupací věže a skrápění suchého horkého vzduchu, který již jednou prošel turbínou, vodní mlhou.

Stačí přidat vodu. Dvojitá solární věž vyrobí dvojnásobek energie, funguje ve dne i v noci
Dvojitá solární věž, kterou vyvinuli vědci z univerzit v Jordánsku a Kataru, dokáže nepřetržitě vyrábět elektrickou energii – ve dne i v noci. Podle výsledků výzkumu tato inovace funguje účinně v horkých a suchých oblastech a nepotřebujeKarel Kilián (VTM.cz)
Letošní #solarbike #solarpunk experiment sice začal zatím nejefektivnější solární nástavbou z hlediska jízdních vlastností a hmotnosti, ale taky zkratem step-up modulu... protože plastová krabička, do které jsme s kolegou dali druhý modul pro step-down na napětí USB, byla ve skutečnosti pokovená a tudíž vodivá - což nás mělo napadnout... Takže změna plánu z dálkové cykloturistiky na vlak a baťoh...
Ale dlouhodobě bych solární #bikepacking viděl jako perspektivní. Správně umístěné panely za jezdcem, které nezasahují do proudu vzduchu aerodynamiku klasického kola zlepšují, ne zhoršují (vypozorováno při jízdě z kopce). Tohle konkrétní uspořádání navíc vypadá trochu jako TIE fighter 😉
I never really feel as unflappably positive and optimistic as SolarPunk postulates. I am much more into being a (non-cannibalist) Morlock of sorts. And now I have a name for it: #LunarPunk.

I'm Allison, a freelance copyeditor (and sometimes writer & artist) hoping to connect with international comrades who share my enthusiasm for speculative fiction, mountains, disability justice, and ecosocialism.
We might get along if
- you're still wearing PPE,
- you have a favorite plant (bonus points if you wear it as a tattoo),
- you like The Expanse despite its being on Amazon, and/or
- Bernie 2016 broke your heart.
Hope to meet a lot of new folks soon. Glad to be here!
P.S. I'm also going to keep an eye out for

Hi everyone, I'm Paul Czege. I make roleplaying and storytelling games. Sometimes I make board games to play with my ten-year-old son. If you know any of my games it's probably My Life with Master. Though someone shared one of my checklist NPCs to Reddit a few weeks ago:
