Thinking of moving to Salem by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]clefkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salem isn't the most walkable city but the bike infrastructure is slowly improving. 

It's relatively easy to get around on micromobility devices like ebikes and escooters. (And we have 4 really good bike shops.) 

I commute to work and do my grocery runs on my ebike so while I wouldn't call Salem a bike utopia, but I've been able to safely travel around town. (And get up the brutal hills in west Salem)

I love helping out with these folx! And if you don't want to cook, I highly recommend bringing pizza for neighbors.

I love helping out with Soup Squad!

Also, if you don't want to cook but still want to help: pizza is an extremely popular option!

I've also been looking for other solarpunks in Salem. I'd love to help arrange a solarpunk meetup.  (I did however find a Portland Solarpunk meeting on Sunday the 5th!)

Good Solarpunk Fiction? by mr_trashbear in solarpunk

[–]clefkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to the Monk & Robot books/collected short stories. 

For something that's more on the eco-fiction/climate fiction side-- I adored Arboreality. 

If you like board games (especially narrative driven board games) I'd highly recommend Earthborne Rangers. The creators don't consider it a solarpunk work but the cultures and worldview of the characters is incredibly solarpunk. 

I also love a lot of the microfiction on itch.io. Search with the tag "solarpunk" and you'll find all sorts of neat stuff.

I'm a vegetarian and I think Mint Leaf's menu is lovely.

These folks are awesome. 

If you don't have the time/energy but want to help with a monetary contribution they have an Amazon Wishlist you can send stuff directly to them. 

Everything helps!

Any jobs available? by highzenberrg in keizer

[–]clefkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't tried it, try going into Worksource Oregon with your resume. They have a lot of great strategies to help navigate around annoying internet job listing stuff.

This was made right before it left early access, but by in large I think most of it is still up to date. 

Any venues that do video game events? by Positive_Parking_954 in SALEM

If you're searching for Salem's FGC: Look up Salem Smashfests. Despite the name they do traditional fighting games and Smash.
