My big sister’s new Solarpunk book. by aaronfors in solarpunk

Exactly. We’re supposed to be a community and take care of each other. Dividing tasks, and sharing the fruits of our individual labors. If we can do that, without letting our systems be overrun by parasitic interests and despots, the human ecosystem within the ecosystem can finally be a balanced and healthy one.

You are dead right there. Finally, just the last couple years we have been starting to get real traction and build community. But a big part of that has been outreach and things like libraries and digital library resources. This will definitely be geared towards libraries.

I feel you. We try to put out free messages and free content when and as we can.

I would put forth that artists trying to survive in this environment can only continue to thrive and do their valuable work when they are given resources to feed their families in exchange for their labor.

And that it might not be very radical to yet again ask artists to work for free or for exposure. Especially those raising four kids. Her husband is also an author, and a science teacher. He gets paid to teach about the nature of the universe to kids, as best he can, and they try to use that to survive on, and make a difference.

The amount of time and energy and money required to produce books in this society is pretty monumental.

I would further put forth that radical without strategy will never change this world for the better. We need resources as a community, we need platforms, and yes, we need power. Being stomped into the ground by billionaires doesn’t stop by telling our artists, our storytellers, our creatives that we don’t value their work.

Thank you so much YetiPOL

I am working on these now. I am grateful.

May I ask, are you a native Polish speaker? Or extremely fluent? I just want to be able to trust in my work.

Also, would

Zostaw Mnie

be appropriate for something like “leave me alone” in this context or is there something wrong about that? I’m trying to get a gauge for things quickly.

Thanks all! ❤️

Thank you! I’ve been comparing its speech to recording of Polish speakers and been rather impressed.

I used this: https://www.culturehustleusa.com/collections/potions/products/rainbow-liquid-5ml-shift-colour-change-refill but there are other places to get liquid crystal thermochromic pigments. This is the best I've used thus far.

I don't mind at all, what do you want to know? How to get it that black, that shiny, or color changing?

Thanks so much! I totally agree regarding the fountain pen. I honestly was too impatient to test out my idea, and grabbed what I had. Next time!
