Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Where my #Solarpunk folks at?

I've been wanting to create some sort of Solarpunk software that allows people to reimagine their city as a walkable, sustainable, post capitalist utopia. Then provide resources and ideas on how they may be able to get there.

Any takers?

What actually IS #hopepunk? How do we define #solarpunk, and what are some good examples? Let's talk about it!

There have been several relevant discussion threads here on Bluesky before.

Writers' fraught relationships with hope ⋆ BrightFlame Why are authors reticent to write hopeful fiction? So many write dystopian, grim, and horror stories. Where is the hope?

Check out my latest blog that notes many #writers would rather write #horror #grim #dystopian works than #hope these days. (Is that what you all prefer to read?)

Hope you'll take a look: brightflame.com/writers-frau...

Love this video of the first young tribe members paddling their #salmon-spawning river after 107 years, after 4 dams were removed.

#Klamath #hope #healing

screenshot of video and comments on TikTok comments include: "This shows that there is room in our broken world for healing Let's keep the momentum." "May Mother Earth and all the lands stolen and abused be returned to the original Earth Keepers" "Salmon were seen north of the Elwah dam weeks after removal. So happy for our tribes"

May this land heal
May these waters run free
May the animals and plants be free to live

A post from "sarasyms" stating "This is why I love Portland", with an attached image of a Police unit of some sort standing together in a couple of rows, with two people dressed as military clowns also standing in the rows with the officers as another group of clowns stands nearby.

This is the way.

Jane Goodall’s legacy of empathy, curiosity, and courage As the iconic scientist and activist celebrates her 90th birthday, her message for younger generations is one of hope — and not fearing the next adventure.

"Every single one of you has that indomitable spirit. But so many people don’t let it out. They don’t realize the power they have to influence and change the world. And so I’m saying to you, let your indomitable spirit make a difference."
— Jane Goodall, March 30, 2024,

The wilds were an ever interconnected web of interactions. If you wanted fish in your lake or rivers, then the fish needed plants or insects or both to feed it and shade it, shelter it and nurture it, all of which had their own needs to fill.

The context for "A New Faith" is #migration (as one way #adaptation to #climatechange could happen).

It is, of course, fiction!

This article spells out the current state of the climate adaptation field quite well.

From solarpunk to the metaverse: The way we think about the future needs to change Though over half of us think humanity is doomed, if we can imagine a better future, we can start to move towards it.

💥 Doom sells, but it’s not destiny. Sarah Housley shows how solarpunk, degrowth & more-than-human futures offer blueprints beyond dystopia. Why let billionaires script our tomorrow when we can imagine and build our own? #Solarpunk #FutureVisions

What hope is there after it all crumbles?

Surrender and flow into the rivers whose paths we may not be known, but will go beyond perceived obstacles.

Journey the road that burns safety blankets, but liberates.

Then rise from the ashes.
