Hey, some updates on the Plague Ship of #Hantavirus.

So, it wasn’t 23 people who got off the boat at St Helens, it was more than 30. Those 30 have dispersed around the globe, so fun! Thankfully, #Andean hantavirus, while still deadly, and while transmissible from human to human, is not an easy spread like flu or covid. So, this is not a lock it all down event, as far as we know from information available.

A #KLM flight attendant who was on a plane with some of the sick passengers is currently in hospital with mild symptoms, but no test result. A #Swiss man is in hospital. Two people in the US #Georgia are quarantined, two in the #UK quarantined, and some folks are floating around #Texas somewhere and they don’t know where everyone else is yet.

#Solarpunk: A Deep Dive into the Cultural Revolution #Reimagining Our Future

The Philosophy Behind the Movement: More Than Just #SolarPanels

Solarpunk represents not just an aesthetic or literary movement, but a comprehensive framework for reimagining human civilization. Its strength lies in combining practical technical solutions with radical social and cultural innovation, while remaining grounded in ecological reality and human needs. As we face cascading environmental and social crises, Solarpunk offers not just hope, but a practical pathway forward that is both revolutionary and achievable.

Excerpts: "While mainstream coverage often focuses on Solarpunk’s aesthetic elements, the movement represents a fundamental reimagining of human civilization’s relationship with technology, nature, and itself. At its core, Solarpunk challenges the dominant narratives of both techno-optimism and eco-pessimism, proposing instead a radical middle path that embraces both technological advancement and ecological wisdom.

#Decolonial Roots and #Indigenous Influence

"Often overlooked in basic Solarpunk discussions is the movement’s deep connection to #IndigenousKnowledge systems and decolonial thinking. Many Solarpunk principles mirror traditional ecological practices:

- The concept of “#SeventhGeneration” decision-making from #Haudenosaunee philosophy
- #AustralianAboriginal practices of landscape management and fire ecology
- #Andean concepts of “#BuenVivir” (good living) that emphasize harmony between human communities and natural systems
- Traditional #Asian #agricultural practices that create #ClosedLoop systems

The Political Economy of Solarpunk
Beyond #GreenCapitalism

"Solarpunk explicitly rejects the notion that market forces alone can address environmental challenges. Instead, it proposes alternative economic models:

- Commons-based peer production
- Gift economies for local exchange
- Circular economic systems that eliminate waste
- Democratic ownership of key infrastructure
- Time banking and alternative currencies
- #Degrowth economics in overdeveloped regions
#TechnologicalSovereignty

"Unlike techno-utopian visions that centralize control in #corporate hands, Solarpunk advocates for:

- #OpenSource technology development
- #CommunityOwned and maintained infrastructure
- Appropriate technology scaled to local needs
- #RightToRepair and modify equipment
- Distributed manufacturing through #makerspaces
- Knowledge sharing networks independent of #corporate control"

I never knew there is this guy/#musician of traditional #Andean #music who went all the way to #China to make a mark there. His name is Jean Atauje. This piece is called "The Last Of The Mohicans". The #Mohicans were the #aboriginal #Americans who were wiped out by #European invaders.
