I've been working on SLRPNK since my post yesterday popped off and it's looking a lot nicer now 💚
My goal for this is to be a rabbit hole that people can fall down every once in a while to find new ideas, media or resources, that inspire people to take action.
Keeping it simple for a while, but feedback is appreciated. Will likely keep adding new links as I find them.
Link to the course material: https://daydreambelievers.co.uk/resources/solarpunk-island/
This is so cool! Daydream Believers run interactive sessions for schools using Solarpunk as the visual and contextual backdrop to the creative, team-building activities.
Best thing? The course material is free to download so it's available for any teachers across the world to use.
Bought this domain on a whim a couple of days ago so have started compiling a load of #Solarpunk resources.
It's pretty rough at the moment, but if you have any suggestions for things to include, please do let me know! I'll be trying to tidy it up into something nice this weekend.
Futures in Draft is one of my new favourite sites 🌼

Here goes nothing!
goodneighbours is an open source community directory framework, to create:
🌼 single source of truth open data for local community support
🌼 user-friendly way for people to find and engage with organisations
First attempt at an open source project - any guidance appreciated!
Practical notes:
- Avoid brand names/obvious links to current reality - find things that happen in a space that could be in any version of the world.
- Involve real community projects - eg. style your models and then actually go and volunteer at a community garden/soup kitchen/whatever and just document it.

Stock photos suck - they limit independent media's ability to present alternative futures.
Capture visions of a solarpunk future and make them as widely, freely, and easily accessible as possible.
Building a community directory 🌼
I'm forever amazed by the sheer number and variety of free services, and good folk doing good things right under my nose that I never hear about.
I'm collecting data and building a directory website to help that, with the intention to refine it locally and then create something tried, tested and repeatable for others to take and create something similar for their own communities.
Guidance is appreciated 🌼

I've been on mastodon a few days and I like it because every time I log on I see something that feels like it has lore that I do not understand even a little bit.
