  2. #Solarpunk: Visions of a #Just, #NaturePositive world

    What does a sustainable civilisation look like and how do we get there? A burgeoning movement of #artists and #activists is seeking answers.

    by Joe Coroneo-Seaman, January 21, 2022

    Excerpt: "The concept of solarpunk originally emerged in the late 2000s, when a handful of artists on the social media platform Tumblr began sharing drawings of futuristic green cities. Over time, the aesthetic and ethos evolved into a more robust vision for the world, and in the process has been embraced by other art forms. There are now published collections of solarpunk literature, subgenres of music, movements within architecture and even tabletop role-playing games [#RPGs].

    "At the core of this vision is the idea that humans can coexist in harmony with the rest of nature. A solarpunk world is one where vast swathes of land have been returned to #wilderness, rooftop gardens dot the skylines of high-tech cities and vertical farms provide food to their residents.

    "Responsible use of #technology is also a prominent theme. #Solar, #wind and #wave power have entirely replaced #FossilFuels as sources of energy, while widespread #3DPrinting has made it much easier to produce things #locally, creating #resilient, #SelfSufficient #communities.

    "Increasingly, artists and writers in the solarpunk movement also describe a world that is just and safe for #MarginalisedGroups – especially those facing the brunt of the #climate and #ecological crisis today. '#BIPOC [#Black, #Indigenous and #PeopleOfColour] and #QueerPeople are safe in solarpunk futures,' says Brianna Castagnozzi, co-editor-in-chief of Solarpunk Magazine.

    "Although it may seem utopian and idealistic, solarpunk attempts to answer real questions being asked more and more often in light of the unfolding climate and ecological crisis. What can be saved? What does a truly #sustainable civilisation look like? How do we get there?

    "It may be a big ask, but it’s now clear that the scale of the environmental crises facing humanity demands #TransformationalChanges to the way we live, as well as the way we think. Art has the power to shape our attitudes, so perhaps it’s time – as Nigerian poet #BenOkri said recently – for artists of all kinds to 'dedicate our lives to nothing short of re-dreaming society'."

  11. To other #Brits who, like me, are categorised as so called 'white':

    If it weren't for Asia, Africa, the Carribbean, the Middle East and Central Asia, there would...be...no...BRITAIN!

    #BRITAIN was built on the expropriation from and on the backs of #peopleofcolour including the #Windbrush generation, Celts, Jews, and #workingclass whites.

    if anyone is #BRITISH, it's people of colour affected by #UKforeignpolicy and #BritishEmpire

  12. Um dem Rassismus im Sehnsuchtsort Kalifornien zumindest in der Freizeit zu entgehen, gründeten Schwarze ihre eigenen Erholungsorte. Eine Ausstellung in Los Angeles erzählt die Geschichte der bisher wenig bekannten Pioniere. Kerstin Zilm hat sie besucht: (€)

  13. Watching "Saving Our #WildIsles" which BBC has released as an extra only available via iPlayer
    saveourwildisles.org.uk/about/

    It is not just the re-wilding environmentalism practised by farmers that the rightwing would have found too "woke". They would have objected to the accusations of racial exclusion implied by the Flock Together segment.

  14. '#Black individuals are continuing to face #disparities within the #healthcare system, regardless of how universal our healthcare coverage may be 

    I believe the #Canadian healthcare system was not designed in a way that allows for #patients to be treated #equally . Numerous times, it has been discussed that #PeopleOfColour are not receiving adequate care compared to their European counterparts.'

  15. This week I've been mainly reading, No.46:

    Mithu Sanyal,'s Identitti (2022) offers a riff on Roth's Human Stain (alluded to once elliptically), telling a story of one student's response when a high profile scholar of colour is outed by her brother (plot spoiler) as white; which she defends as exhibiting transracialism. Its effectively a politically sophisticated campus novel, which at times feels a little didactic, but remans very readable

  16. PSA: if you are interested in working in cyber/information security but don’t currently have “the experience”, apply anyway.

    Especially if you are working in an adjacent field like governance, legal, developer, training and education etc etc. the list goes on.

    The competition is tough…. To find enough people to fill the roles and diversity of thought and diverse skillsets are very valuable.

    Literally no one in our cybersecurity department started work in the cybersecurity department

    Go on. You can do this.
