Yet Again, The US Proves That It Is Not A Country Of Freedom, But Of Blood.

Yet again, the US proves that it is not a country of freedom, but of blood.

We send bombs to fuel Israel’s own bloodlust, we let the police terrorize people of color, we slaughtered and starved countless indigenous people, we can’t even keep our students safe for fucks sake!

And now our justice system takes the life of an innocent man.

Rest in power Khaliifah Williams, we will never forget you.

Something that I think should be an important part of solarpunk aesthetics is screws.

Look at your smartphone. No screws. You've got to have specialized tools to get inside your phone to repair something. There are certain pieces of tech that are glued in place and glue can't be undone without permanently breaking the bond.

But screws!

You can take apart a broken old radio, repair what's broken, and, if you were careful in taking it apart, you can put it back together and have a fully functioning radio and all you need is a common screwdriver!

It's hard to build screws and other mechanical fasteners because it requires more planning than clamps and glues, but isn't that what solarpunk is all about‽ It's about care and sustainability and and a radio or a computer built carefully with repair in mind is a sustainable computer that stays out of landfills and in use.

It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
