It's a calm morning over here. Getting a bit of sunrain.

There's a jade white-eye songbird that keeps pecking at a boxy metal cheese grater I have hanging in the kitchen. It's been going at it since yesterday! No idea what it thinks it's doing. It does 3 pecks/knocks then takes a break. Then 3 more. Over and over. 🤷

This morning I'm clearing some extremely overgrown garden area. Loads of vines and huge grasses and sword ferns. I actually love this kind of work. No thinking required, and at the end of it, things are clean.

Zum #AutisticPrideDay vielleicht der Stand der Dinge:

Vor Kurzem kam auch der zweite Band der #MyrieZange-Reihe in den Buchhandel (siehe pinned Tröt), eine coming-of-age #SolarPunk-Geschichte mit autistischer Hauptfigur.

Schon länger draußen ist die in sich abgeschlossene Romanze im selben Universum zwischen zwei autistischen, asexuellen Figuren: #WennEsNichtPassiert. Aus diesem Roman werde ich auf der Chaos Feminist Convention (#cfc25) ein Kapitel vorlesen! Darauf freue ich mich sehr.

🎇 Help save Philly's local solarpunk bookstore! Iffy Books, which has offered everything from books on permaculture to first aid workshops to open hours for soldering assistance, needs your help. Please share this letter widely!

I've been grateful for the opportunity this space offered me to rekindle my relationship with digital art for merch and run solar art and queer zine workshops. Iffy Books is irreplaceable in our community. To keep offering programs and resources that foster climate activism, right to repair, and skill sharing in Philly, we need to take action now.

A letter from Steve at Iffy Books
June 13, 2025

In 2021 we were pushing anti-blockchain arguments.

In 2022 we were pushing solar-powered music and encrypted mesh chat.

We’ve been against LLMs since before ChatGPT came along, and we hope we’re around to dance on its grave.

Iffy Books is the kind of place that feels like it shouldn’t exist in the center of a big city like Philly. How have we kept it going for so long? 

• With lots of help from a community of volunteers, donors, and book-buying folks.

• By skating on very thin ice money-wise.
post.lurk.orgIffy Books (@iffybooks@post.lurk.org)Attached: 4 images This is tough to talk about, but we'll need some help to keep Iffy Books going. Here's a letter we've been circulating that explains the situation: https://iffybooks.net/a-letter-from-steve-at-iffy-books-june-13-2025/

The classic circulation water pumps used in heating systems are just the best for #aquaponics. We have an #upcycled #pump that worked in our house for 20 years. It stopped this morning. I was carrying watering cans from the filter to the plants (aquaponic equivalent of cpr) until we got a replacement, a virtually identical one, the tech haven't changed. We thought the OG pump is dead, we disassembled it and it turned out it was just limescale! There's nothing to break there, this pump can work another 20 years. We removed the scale, added some vaseline and reassembled the pump. It works again like nothing ever happened! It's amazing.

El viernes pasado por fin pudimos anunciar la tienda online de @naubis y es muy emocionante ver cómo podemos ofrecer con más alcance y facilidades nuestro proyecto: tienda.naubis.com/es/ 🌿
Si os gustan las librerías alternativas que apuestan por lecturas que hacen pensar en futuros deseables e igualitarios, y que además hacen actividades culturales, podéis comprarnos un libro, que estamos con oferta hasta el 31 de agosto.
Y si no, un impulso es muy bienvenido 💜

El movimiento Hope! lo está petando bastante fuerte. Si lo empujamos podría ser la chispa que prende algo grande.

En Alcalá de Henares nos hemos subido al carro. Estamos progamando una serie de videofórums basados en la serie, para intentar crear movimiento local que aproveche el impulso para juntar a la gente que ya está haciendo cositas por aquí y sacar proyectos nuevos.

¿Os imaginais construir el #Solarpunk en real?

Replied in thread

Yes @pluralistic I've read both WALKAWAY and LOST CAUSE. Love them both. (They are on the Great Reads section of my website)

Plus, after hearing you talk in Doylestown recently, I read Picks & Shovels and Red Team Blues! Even if not quite solarpunk, attempting to defy technofascists and profit mongers is #solarpunk adjacent! And aligned with @eff !

@acid

What if we ran revolution like a business?
