god i love solarpunk. Shout out to solarpunk.
Sometimes it gets criticism for being just an art aesthetic, and i get that, fair enough, but for me thats the whole point.
I can’t always picture a future worth fighting for on my own. It would be so much harder to hope for and work towards a better future without the images others have crafted of what that better world might look like. Sometimes what keeps me going is pretty imaginings of a beautiful, flawed, near-utopia that’s mostly just vibes and sunshine and plants growing regardless of whether the conditions are well suited to it, and humans who continue and endure and care for their world and community.
Its impossible to build a future you cant imagene first.
that’s why I hate late stage cyberpunk, its why depression makes planning so much harder, and its why I positavely cherish solarpunk.
