Sounds like a cool place to work. Cheers!

Does feel like this is a step in the right direction. The wealthy have way too much power, and philanthropy is a part of that. Making nonprofits beholden to the rich is sinister.

Thank you! Wishing you a high-speed reading adventure.

That is right. Thank you for posting the link. I sought out him because of his use of vibrant color.

You found it. 💚

Wishing you a smooth reading ride with a fair breeze at your back.

Bicycles also allow for creative expression, as you can see all this brilliant customization.

Wishing you a swimmingly good tale.

Awesome! Thank you.

As long as AI uses unsustainable amounts of energy and water, it is not neutral. It is awful.

Great! Wishing you a reading adventure that is wild and fluorescent ride.

I appreciate the broad view of the past decade and solarpunk. Andrew challenges us to put those ideas and ideals into practice and build a more connected and sustainable community.

💚💚💚

Wishing you a reading adventure that is all downhill, no brakes.

Here is a new link, only thirteen days too late. https://discord.gg/ZyqyaQDp

Illustrator Bochica uses knowledge to make the world a better place, to help people express the utopia inside them. He is a social muralist, who supports war-victims communities in Colombia. Concerning the cover art, he wrote the following:

*The technique used was mixed, acrylic and ink on canvas. Painting this piece was a real challenge—synthesizing and imagining a culture made of many ancestral cultures. The arch was inspired by art nouveau but also by Hindu art, while the figures reference both southern and northern Native American cultures. The pillars are like “totems” of Native American origin, but the figures are inspired by Indigenous peoples of South America and the South Pacific, from Easter Island, the Maori, through the Incas to the Mayans and Aztecs. These columns also reference the legend of “Huitaca” from the muysca people, which speaks of a demon who ascended and became the owl—a symbol of wisdom and knowledge in many cultures. In this case, I wanted to refer to the novel’s great library. The circles are inspired by the sun but are also inspired by speakers, referencing the “voice of the people” and social organization within solarpunk.

At the top, there’s a kind of staircase inspired by the “chakana,” an Incan symbol representing the connection between the human world and higher realms.

The mermaid is inspired by “Yemaya,” who is an Orisha or goddess in the Yoruba culture from Haiti.*

Thank you. I will reply with more info about the illustration.

Some of the characters continue, but I would recommend starting with this novel.

Thanks! Added it. And now I’m aware where to input the alt text for the future.

Yeah, most often when I need a tool it is to fix my house or to maintain the trees. For that I would want a tool library.

Love that. Thanks for sharing. I can also say they sometimes light up this Ferry Building in Christmas colors, which happen to be the colors of the Palestinian flag. When I project Free Palestine then, it is color coordinated and makes it seem the city is in on it.

Also trying to speak to homelessness here.
