Such a good one, I love junji’s style of body horror. So eerie & unnerving.

Whoa it’s wild that it was commissioned by a company as a way to improve staff morale after a series of mergers and acquisitions. Imagine being worried about your job in an era when job hopping was not common, & you get a smiley face pin from management.
I agree with you in real life, but I do think rogue would play up her bi-ness in a public setting cuz she knows she’s hot & is a bit of an exhibitionist. She’s also probably had a group break up session where she dumps all 6 of her partners at once in a hipster coffee shop then asks for the batistas phone number.
Lmao I guess there are just limits to my photoshop abilities 🤣
Excited for the new book :) I’m hoping this time around I’ll be able to actually make it to the Sunday meetings
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Discord is well known to many people & there isn’t a good open source group call and message system.
It would be awesome if there was another choice, but I’d rather have discord book club than no book club at all.
Wow! So beautiful :) fig trees really are something special
Super useful links, thanks for sharing :) it’s so cool to see all the different ways people have approached the questions & all the different solutions they came up with.
Maybe I’m just a sucker for plants on buildings though lol
Good point! I’m on the same page of understanding “trees on buildngs” to mean general greenery.
Your comment did get me thinking: It would be cool if we could find a way to direct tree roots. Like how in yards if a tree root breaks into the water lines, they’ll fill that space since it is clear and full of nutrients. It’s bad for the pipes, but if done purposefully could maybe help mitigate the damage caused by large tree root systems.
Lmao youre right. Heres a new one, now with 8 guns 🔫
Oooo we can dream, and in that dreaming maybe find a way to shape reality :)
Lol here’s a poorly redone version of this meme with fewer words.
That sounds super cool! Warehouses especially seem like a good candidate for gardens. They’re large, typically flat on top, & are often surrounded by paved parking areas meaning they get full sun. Plus the interiors often have easy access to the ceiling making any repairs very simple.
Lol I will say our leaky roof garden was the product of hippie construction, so it was beautiful and really cool-- but not the most carefully engineered 🤣
Not all communists are tankies. I understand many people (especially Americans) assume that connection because of the cold war era propaganda. However, many self identified communists have no respect or admiration for authoritarian states like China or the USSR.
& I think solarpunk tends to draw in communists, anarchists, libertarians and other radical views. To create a significant change in how humans relate to the environment around us, we would also likely need a significant change in how we relate to eachother. This means some sort of change to our modern system of profit based sucess (i.e. modern capitalism).
That video effected how i think about modern solutions not necessarily how i picture a potantial solarpunk future. So I voted yes to the question.
I agree just slapping trees on buildings is not going to magically fix modern society’s much deeper issues. I do still think having roof top gardens is something that could work for a much more advanced civilization with different construction methods and materials.
I dunno i think it has a place in the more imaginative side of solarpunk… a living building (like the ships and buildings from octavia butlers liliths brood series) could definetly support gardens. Or specially grown tree houses. Or hollowed out “mountains” with sunlight vents and an entire forest on the surface. Ooooo or maybe some floating islands where people live inside the verticle garden beds.
Modern concrete and steel based architecture is definetly not ready to have that level of greenery integrated into the building structures. One of the communes I lived at had a rooftop garden, & we had tons of issues with leaks and just the sheer weight of all that dirt and plant material on the structure.
I still love the idea though, lol just not in the modern era.
That’s a great mindset to have. I write as well & it’s for the love of craft, definetly not the paycheck lol
Stories are just so fun to tell, I’m looking forward to reading yours :)
Absolutly fantastic explination of how to conceptualize the complexities of geometry. Such an interesting area of mathematics
