Correction: Lee Kalliroi Buchanan identifies as #NonBinary!
I hardly ever go out anymore, but hubby took me to see #NickOfferman. Wow! In addition to hearing him rant against #AI and #ElonMusk, he also praised #ToolLibraries and #MakerSpaces and #DIY! And the best part? Live #woodworking with his very cool associate, #LeeKalliroiBuchanan (I loved seeing them in action)!

#introduction
Hi this is Cookie! I have worked as a technician in various art studios and #makerspaces for the past ten years. For longer than that I have made art and music. I have also done a lot of work in #ArtEducation including performative workshops. I run an Open Source #ComputerClub at u of toronto.Currently I am working on a #webart project called “Exodus Big Techius: Root to leaving Google/Apple/Microsoft for the Collective Open Source”. My other current focus is prepping for #OHS2026 where I will be exhibiting a sound #sculpture and a new art book.
For fun, I'm very into #knitting and am a member of the local spinner and weavers guild. I love hiking and native pollinator gardening. I am planning to learn #bikepacking and the bass clarinet this summer. I love anachronisms, synchronicities, and #esoterica. I wonder about becoming a shepherd or lighthouse keeper.
Here's a photo of something swampy I knit that I feel speaks to my personality :)

#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.
by NickyCammarata
Nov 24, 2024Excerpts: "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 systemsThe 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"#SolarPunkSunday #PostCapitalism #Capitalism #CircularEconomy #SmallScale #BuildingCommunity #SustainableAgriculture

Call to #hackerspaces & #makerspaces around the world, lets join forces!
Hi. 👋 I make #OpenSource smart #thermostats that don't spy on you. I don't ship internationally for two reasons: financial cost and environmental cost. I'd like to join a network of Makerspaces to have them be produced regionally so people outside of America can get a pre-made unit.
Does this network already exist? If so, how do I join? If it doesn't exist, would you like to help build it?
