This Animation Was Done In Collaboration With @jesilerae (on Insta) Who Provided The Audio. Jesi Also

This animation was done in collaboration with @jesilerae (on insta) who provided the audio. Jesi also gave me some creative direction for the first part and was super patient and supportive throughout the whole process! It was a healing project to work on and I'm very touched that I was contacted for this collaboration. 🦋🦋🦋 Thank you Jesi. 🙏

Some more information about the four wings of social change as taken from an article in Yes! Magazine:

//“Drawing from Grassroots Economic Organizing’s butterfly model of transformative social justice, Leah Penniman (Soul Fire Farm co-founder and farmer) described the four wings: Resisters: the people in the blockades, the protests, the work stoppages; Reformers: the folks trying to make change from within systems, including schoolteachers and elected officials, like those getting into the prosecutor’s office and working to get sentences lowered; Builders: those who create alternative institutions such as freedom schools, farms, and health clinics; and Healers: the conflict mediators, the therapists, the preachers, the singers, the dancers, the artists—“all the folks that are gonna make us well,” she said.//

To follow that, I just wanna re-iterate that YOUR contribution matters! We ALL have strengths that lift up different wings. And we all have the ability to broaden our scope and see where else we can help and see which wings may need more lifting. Your activism may look different from someone else's. That's both okay and necessary, so long as we stay connected and united. 🦋🦋🦋🍉🍉🍉✊✊✊ ~Pothos 🪴

You have intrinsic worth and value.

Don’t internalize capitalism

Inside there are two wolves. One that wants to deny the capitalist grindstone and build a cottage in the woods where you live off the land in ankle length dresses, baking pies and bathing in sunlight. The other, really likes wifi.

I HAVE FINALLY COLLECTED ALL THE POSTCARDS IN HEART HUNTER! YIPPEEEEEE ✨✨✨

just noticed something in hobies intro...

before he enters the scene, this is the messaging broadcast all across his london:

OBEY. DO NOT QUESTION. CONSUME.

on every screen and surface and outlet, thats the message ordered by the government and the media and the system. to conform. to follow orders. to submit. to live and die by the establishment.

then after Hobie enters the scene with his unauthorized political action art pieces and, figuratively and literally, disrupts the narrative, the message, his message, rewrites it all and changes it all to

FREEDOM. JOY. LIVE FREE. LOVE EACH OTHER.

KINDNESS AND FREEDOM is the battlecry and message Hobie brings to his world as Spider-Man.

Kindness is Punk.

kindness and freedom despite everything IS punk. and Hobie destroying the system with that is so fucking powerful and beautiful. he is the embodiment of punk, and its not just an aesthetic. even if he wasnt aesthetically punk, he would still be punk because punk IS his character, it is his values, his morals, his message.

gods i just keep finding more reasons to love Hobie so deeply. he's genuinely one of, if not, the most inspiring character i have ever witnessed in media.

Okay so I have been getting into solarpunk and I thought it would be a great idea if people could recommend music, songs, playlists, or artists with solarpunk themes. I'll start: Of Monsters and Men. Especially their 'My Head is an Animal' album. Some songs in there are really hopeful, like Dirty Paws, Mountain Sound, and Little Talks, and in my opinion there is a solarpunk theme to it, especially in Dirty Paws.
