    "A bit of background about #BigTree

    Around 2018, I started developing Big Tree (original title is #YatMadit), which is set in a world where every village is autonomous and enjoys a high level of self-sufficiency, manufacturing any tool or device in their backyard. I recently learned that this is #solarpunk! This idea came after years of intense daydreams about a future without central governments or politicians, where thousands of people are co-presidents and every citizen is a parliamentarian, and they govern themselves using a digital technology modeled on decentralized social media. After recent events in Nepal, where protests led to Nepali using Discord to elect a new prime minister, well, it validates my imagination and makes me believe that direct democracy can thrive in our world.

    I’ve written two short stories set in this universe, and you can read both online for free. Yat Madit, published in #Africanfuturism Anthology and The Gray Girl, published in Lowle Magazine. A couple of months ago, I finished a novella, as yet unpublished, and it nicely fits the solarpunk genre. If you are the reading type and donate $20 or more, I’ll send you a copy! The novella helped me clarify the world of the film, but of course to depict such a future needs a lot of visual effects. So I made many short films to learn CGI, including Little Red Eve (2025), which revolves around the villain in Big Tree, and it helped me figure out how a key visual effect that will drive the plot. You can watch the trailer here (everyone who donates gets a link to watch it). In 2019, I made Akoota, but failed to depict a futuristic village. So Wind will enable me figure out how to transform a present day village into a futuristic dream."

  6. 🌲 The biggest “wild” old growth Douglas Fir (not in a park, not on a big tree registry) I’ve ever found. On Vancouver Island. Not on any trails. The mystery: Why did the loggers leave this one standing? There are stumps nearby from other, smaller original trees.

  11. My fave #BigTree yesterday, was this large #HorseChestnut #tree on a side road beside Wark Street Commons Community Park in #VictoriaBC in #QuadraVillage.

    In Britain & Ireland, their seeds are used for the popular children's game conkers. During WWI there was a campaign asking everyone to collect the seeds & donate to the government. The #conkers were used as a source of #starch for #fermentation using the Clostridium acetobutylicum method devised by Chaim Weizmann to produce #acetone for use as a solvent for the production of #cordite, which was then used in #MilitaryArmaments. Weizmann's process could use any source of starch, but the government chose to ask for conkers to avoid causing starvation by depleting food sources. But conkers were found to be a poor source & the factory only produced acetone for 3 months; however, they were collected again in WWII for the same reason.
