SOLARPUNK FILM FESTIVAL
Ok who would like to turn one of my #solarpunk short stories into a #short #film for this?
I love to see it! @gristnews.bsky.social and Milkweed Editions published the #solarpunk short story collection METAMORPHOSIS (contains my story Seven Sisters!) and here it is at my local library alllll checked out, 4 copies, thankyouverymuch.
In my solarpunk novel series, I have a Trillionaires Exclusion Act that basically outlaws trillionaires because the world got fed up with their bullshit sometime in the 2030's (novel set in 2050). Musk might single-handedly accelerate that timetable.
Just kickstarted this solutions-based #climatefiction #mystery #kickstarter and it looks really cool!

The fascist firehose is meant to terrify & disable & leave you hopeless & helpless.
You are not.
The podcast I just released talks about how to stay out of that trap & reclaim your bandwidth and joy (and how hopeful #climatefiction can be a powerful tool in your survival toolkit).

In the new podcast ep of BRIGHT GREEN FUTURES, I talk about the #fascism #climatechange doom loop, how the real trap is #doomerism, and how hopeful #climatefiction can help lead the way out.
(with also some Real Talk about strategic denial, staying in your lane, #resistance & #joy)

This is going to be an amazing conversation from the #climate solutions people at @gristnews.bsky.social w/ #writers from their Imagine 2200 hopeful #climatefiction collection Metamorphosis.
The talk is virtual & free & it's tomorrow (1.30)! https://thegreatnorthernfestival.com/2025/role-of-sci-fi-imagination-in-climate-solutions

@toddmedema thanks for the shout out!
@desertgoalie I love me some Becky Chambers too — her Monk & Robot series is on my list of recommended reads on my BRIGHT GREEN FUTURES podcast, where you'll find a bunch more with that vibe, which I call #hopepunk or #solarpunk or hopeful #climateFiction. Cheers!
(ps I also write it)

If you need a bit of uplift, check out Future Mending podcast (just in general) but also this episode where I was a guest was *such a joy* to do.

I was a guest on the Future Mending pod, which y'all should absolutely check out — very #solarpunk and lots of cool topics — and we had a great discussion about how everyone can be part of building a better world.

Do you want to see more #solarpunk and hopeful #climatefiction in the world? Vote for Tory and Imagine2200 — we need to fund these stories and it's a tiny amount of money that pays off so much. Tory's done amazing work so far with the contest, gotten so many new voices out there, this would really help to keep it going.

The new #Imagine2200 stories are now available! I worked with Grist last summer to help choose these stories, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of them. Give them a read and let me know!

This is pretty cool: "Solarpunk and Alternative Social Imaginaries: Sarena Ulibarri’s Narratives of Radical Hope."
A couple of scholars in India wrote about two of my short stories! I've seen my name cited in quite a few journal articles about solarpunk, but it's usually in reference to the anthologies I edited, rather than the stories I’ve written.

@vlrny I need to make a list of #solarpunk and hopeful #climatefiction video explainers and this one needs to be near the top of the list.
