Everyone who wants to tickle their utopian eco-futuristic imagination from the point of view of a reclaim-the-streets wing of the autonomous movement and a fight-for-the-rural-periphery wing of the eco-feminist tradition, go follow one of my favorite poets @askkatzeff , who just joined the Fediverse. #fedifollow #solarpunk #ecofeminism #clifi #halfearthsocialism

"In his book, Straw Dogs, John Gray argues that in the 21st century it is time to abandon our sense of specialness as human beings and replace it with an acknowledgement that we are, as a species, just as prone to expendability as any other thing that has lived on Earth. There is truth in that, unpalatable as it is. But looked at another way, it is the admission which will finally unify us with the natural world."

finished reading The Deluge 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
A US-centric view of the coming two decades as the climate and social cohesion rapidly break down. Amplifies the worst of current political & economic trends to create a truly terrifying but not-impossible dystopia. Told from a rich variety of perspectives, though compresses the pace of climate change improbably (I hope!). Intense, scary & draining.

Since I haven’t yet posted an #introduction…

Hi, Mastodon! I joined before the #twittermigration kicked off because I love exploring new apps and social media sites.

I’m a programmer by trade, usually working on web apps using #typescript and of course #javascript (we love it just the way it is lol )

I’m constantly #reading, especially #scifi, #clifi, and #solarpunk! I’m passionate about music, especially #technomusic and electronica. Catch me at #neotropolis… IYKYK 🙃

A course on ‘#ClimateFiction’

"#Literature helps us feel the immediacy of what’s at stake in a #climate-changed world. The storytelling in fiction and poetry teaches us much that scientific and policy reports, charts, graphs and forecasts cannot. While data can predict rising sea levels, for example, a short story such as Tommy Orange’s “New Jesus” shows us how it feels to live in a submerged town where residents’ feet are always wet."
