Some days the news cycle is exhausting. Luckily, our baby chick Runa is there to remind me what matters: Caring for our families, our communities, and our landscapes. Take a break. Come back energized.

Seems like a good time to tax excess corporate profits. Let the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire. It exacerbates tax advantages large corporations have over small businesses. We need leaders, we elect, that will put our families, communities, and landscapes first - not last.

Solarpunk appreciates the potential of current and future technologies to create a better world. "The Middle Coast" is an AI podcast we generated. Verify what it tells us. Otherwise, technology enchants us into thinking it is magical. What's one thing you want to learn going forward?

Powerful stories provide a concrete vision for what it means to live in abundance. Let's hold on to meaningful metaphors of the future as we prepare to resist the present.

What is in a name? Solarpunk might seem unconventional for a political entity, so I wanted to share what it means to us.
Solarpunk envisions a future where humanity thrives in harmony with the environment, utilizing technology to create resilient and sustainable communities.
