@quercus @paris as the curator of the Library I can attest the image is not AI generated ;)

@SteveKLord I don't have any good articles on that on hand, but I'll get back to you when I do.

In the meantime, you might be interested in https://magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/vol27-2-political-economy-of-science/rethinking-open-science/

@SteveKLord Africa has quite a few well-functioning community-owned green banks! Even in Kenya the Sacco Banks are very important.

It's just that they don't mesh well with "development funds" which require African states to be dependent on the Western definitions of progress, capital, sustainability.

@Valmond we mostly hang around #solarpunk and #storySeedLibrary tags

@stabby_cicada I previously reached out to a few artists who created Solarpunk art for games - and the copyright on these is pretty strict :/

@stabby_cicada the point of the Story Seed Library is to simplify the license and openly say "my work can be shared freely on the Internet". Without it, it gets complicated and its not obvious whether I can illustrate a blogpost by just crediting them.

Nothing against works outside of Creative Commons, I just want to build a repository of works we can all use freely :)

@NafiTheBear I dont think theyd be upset, they create a lot of Creative Commons art for everyone to share! :)

@ilinamorato @NafiTheBear you can tag the artist, @the_lemonaut ;)

@Nyssa we even have a @SolarpunkPrompts episode on that!

Take a look at https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts/episodes/the-epidemiologists if you want to see a #solarpunk story potential of the daunting task of vaccinating unwilling communities.

@realbadat I usually go with anarchist technology documentaries.

In my big Solarpunk essay ( https://alxd.org/solarpunk-lenses-and-foundations.html ) I mention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPxCUzGGDKc , which was THE thing to inspire me to look for Solarpunk.

I love the series on the Southeast Asian Makers, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMf14VQEvTblDrJNG4kD6BIVW16DKJh-

They're less "comprehensive", but they're very real and very awesome :)

If I remember anything more, I'll let you know!

@FullyAutomatedRPG @8petros @Anaphory @fiction thank you!

Speaking about a positive version of anarchy, have you read / played https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/dream-askew ?

I think especially Dream Askew, which brought us the original Belonging Beyond Belonging, is a really interesting inspiration / direction for such themes.

While it might not be a game for me, I loved the queer community roles for all the characters - and how their story beats function within the narrative.

@8petros @Anaphory @fiction @FullyAutomatedRPG I think you forget that a lot of Mastodon instances have a hard cap on character number and we would need to self-host or convince our admins to change the character limit for us ;)
