Hi friends and comrades! What are you working on these days? I’m really interested in praxis and in new ideas of what to do in real life to advance towards a solarpunk future.

Hope you’re all well!

    Not solarpunk, per say, but defiantly community minded and aligned.

    I’ve started cooking double/triple on some meals and stocking my community fridge. I’m limited by containers, but the containers from my pasta place are fantastic as reusables; plus I get to eat more fresh pasta.

    Actively participating in FOSS software. I’ve been a project manager for years, so even though I can’t code, I’ve found some niches of work that can protect time of those who can code. Plus I’m starting to figure out coding through helping others troubleshoot.

    Continuously hounding my burrough to improve pedestrianation and remove cars. I think I’ve cracked the code on targeting specific levels/areas of municipal government regarding outcomes I’m looking for. Big tip for everyone: invite your representative and a roads planner for coffee, then walk to a destination in the problem area. The planner gets to experience the user story first hand, and the representative can push the right levers.
