Seattle Worldcon 2025 was an incredible experience! A huge shout-out to everyone who came to every panel with the word "solarpunk" in it like it was their job. ✊
My big takeaway is that we're all looking for hopeful visions of the future - the people want solarpunk! So honored to be able to present my research and network with amazing authors & organizers in such a beautiful city.

A conversation with some of my earliest friends in the solarpunk space, reflecting on what #solarpunk and #hope mean today. Learn some more about the #literature and #digitalhumanities projects I've been working on, and how we've all been thinking through the past couple of years!
New episode out now!
Solarpunk might seem impossible in 2026, but I argue we need it now more than ever. This episode makes the case for solarpunk as a form of engagement & resistance in our current moment.

For those interested in looking at #solarpunk more academically and/or politically, ISE is launching a new course on utopian literature in just a few weeks: https://social-ecology.org/wp/courses/utopian-literature/
The syllabus looks great - the texts chosen are some of my favorites! This would be a great intro for anyone interested in utopian thinking, narrative change, and other ways of approaching hope in dark times.

@alxd@writing.exchange Funny you should mention that! I love the seed library as a resource. I've had it close at hand the past few weeks 😎
Appreciate your work on this project!
Excited to announce I'll be a panelist at #Worldcon in Seattle this August!
Looking forward to bringing a solarpunk perspective to conversations on hope, the future, poetry, and more.
