As a disabled Jew I found, in Solarpunk spaces, an inability to address the needs of either group.Mileshttp://captainlordauditor.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-65663934594981632182017-07-14T19:03:46.030-07:002017-07-14T19:03:46.030-07:00"Where is the accusatory question: 'Who k..."Where is the accusatory question: 'Who killed the world?'"<br /><br />Ah, for that question to apply, the world would have to be dead, yes? What I think might be even more appropriate for solarpunk would be for it to be too little, too late. For the world to already be doomed. Perhaps even without most inhabitants of the solarpunk world knowing they're doomed, since the purpose of doing all these little mitigating things even though doom is approaching would be to lengthen whatever moderately tolerable climate remains and keep people from a final despair with the worst kind of hope: impossible hope. A futile solarpunk fiction for a readership that is highly likely to inhabit a future where the only options left are futile, to mirror how Gibson's slums-and-corporate-overloards vision came to pass.<br /><br />This is not to the exclusion of cryptids, of course.Wesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473802585370466778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-12217329582452625852017-07-14T06:14:50.429-07:002017-07-14T06:14:50.429-07:00I couldn’t see a donation button anywhere on the b...I couldn’t see a donation button anywhere on the blog and can’t subscribe to your Patreon, so I bought A Host of Gentle Terrors as a thank you, because this article is just terrific.Artur Nowrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276975026258085800noreply@blogger.com
