I've reactivated this account for times when I want to be a different me, so here's a new #introduction.

Hi, my name is KM Herkes, and I'm a neurodivergent creative who writes #hopepunk & #fantasy novels I'm also a gardener, a baker,, & a collector of shiny things. Sometimes I work at a public library.

I live in the Midwest w/ 3 cats & one spouse in a big old house with a small yard full of native plants & pollinators. I love bad movies, good food and non sequiturs.

A New Faith

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/us/billionaires-federal-campaign-contributions-takeaways.html

This ain't a #democracy any more if these folks keep subverting it with cash. Make #billionaires obsolete through #tax - support the laws that do so #California #US #Europe #UK #Canada everywhere.

In my #book, "A New Faith", the bad guys are #plutocrats who are trying to keep control of the world, democracy be damned.

I had made peace with dropping the Epilogue from "A New Faith" because of early feedback about it being too unrealistic. But when I see the real life #billionaires #plutocrats #oligarchs then I feel that it was too tame. Anyway... here it is in case anyone is interested.

7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.

Este es para mí el mejor libro sobre cómo aplicar la #permacultura para tener ecosistemas productivos y sostenibles con un mínimo uso energético. Sabiendo que no vamos a tener #robots que nos recogen las cosechas, esto es para mí el #SolarPunk, humanos q saben interpretar la gravedad para la gestión del #agua, expertas en reproducir variedades infinitas de #árboles, tb expertas en #regenerar #suelos..

imaginemos futuros posibles pero tb leamos y apliquemos los manuales que ya sabemos que funcionan.

S2.3 now on YouTube!

The situation in Lebanon today is bleak. Carved out of the remains of the Ottoman Empire and subjected to years of colonialism-lite administration by France, its economy and infrastructure have been devastated by a long civil war, overlapping occupations by Syria and Israel, and corruption on a massive scale. Since 2019, Lebanon has been in the midst of a severe financial crisis, with widespread unemployment and hyperinflation. Now 80% of the population is poor and Lebanon is on the brink of becoming a failed state.

And yet, JD Harlock, Poetry Editor at Solarpunk Magazine, who lives in Beirut, believes in solarpunk. Join us for this episode to find out how that can be and what day to day life is like in Beirut right now.
