We Would Call It Solarpunk (Comic) ~ By the-lemonaut

www.tumblr.com

That's why i'm looking into Solarpunk and am thinking of taking any readers (and myself) on a little journey through a better world, and how it might work, through a series of mini-comics I'm posting here. I don't have all the answers (no one person ever does), and i don't hold any pretenses that this kind of world is going to be our future. But i often hear "You love critiquing the status quo, but what do you propose instead?" I'd like to find out too. Here's to something we can hope for, no matter how slim the chances are! Because as I said, i might just lose my mind otherwise ☠️

Sharing this here, because tumblr and reddit have login-walls and I don't want this gem to get lost.

Man, I love this. It feels of a piece with "A Psalm for the Wild-Built."
- @ilinamorato @NafiTheBear you can tag the artist, @thelemonaut ;)
  
  Ohhh I didn't know they are on mastodon I hope it was OK of me to repost it, but tumblr really started to throw me a login page recently, which hides half of the comic.

This is lovely. Thanks for sharing!

This is really beautiful! I think it's pretty common if you're switched on to the damage we're doing to our world to feel very anxious and negative, but it's important to remember that reducing climate change is not just about avoiding disaster, but building a utopia too. Thanks @NafiTheBear@pawb.social !

I like the art a lot already. Can't wait to see more.

- They've been doing a bunch of cool solarpunk art for a bit, and they've started releasing it CC-BY (I think) including on wikimedia commons, which is great because otherwise the solarpunk category over there was mostly a bunch of AI art and proposed flags. (I'd added some of my photobashes so it wasn't just AI representing the genre, but I'm very glad to have them contributing art with a lot of intent behind it.) I think a lot of the planning for their scenes comes from the solarpunk prompts podcast these days.

  I remember seeing a post on here about that podcast and added it to the list of podcasts I'm listening to.

  Huh I didn't know that. I'll make sure to keep out an eye for their work. Btw was looking through your website and I like how thought out your photobashes are.
  Also as an aside since it seems you put a lot of thought into this kind of stuff do you have any thoughts on how much of a solarpunk future can run on only renewable material? I see a lot of art that focuses on solar panels and stuff but I've recently been thinking that it might not be possible to have too many of those long term because repairing them probably would require a complex supply chain and extraction process that we probably would have to move away from as society gets transformed.
