My essay "The Time Machine" came out yesterday in @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social! It's about late-Gen X nostalgia for a lost golden age as physically incarnated in a used mountain bike identical to one I bought in 1996 and spent 30 years riding into the ground: solarpunkmagazine.com/shop/solarpu...

My old ruined bike, with cranks, pedals, cargo rack and bar-ends removed, leaning by my garage

My new, old bike, looking just like the old old bike in every way except a shinier paint job, different seat, bar-ends, and cranks with purple composite pedals

The latest Demand Utopia is about public housing as climate infrastructure. The Corviale public housing complex in Rome is over a kilometer long, houses some 5k people, and is becoming a test case for climate adaptation to deadly heatwaves. Listen on our website or wherever you get your podcasts.

Okay folks, here's the update on the situation. You can read the full story on our blog. But the person behind two of the stories we published in March, Issue 26 of Solarpunk Magazine misrepresented themself and used AI to generate the stories. Thse two stories have been removed from Issue 26.

We Unknowingly Published AI Slop, and We're Taking Accountability

Solarpunk Magazine has removed two stories due to strong evidence of AI use, in addition to other submission policy violaitons. We're taking accountability.

1/2 It's come to our attention that in an issue of Solarpunk Magazine published earlier this year, we may have unknowingly published work created by AI. We have given the person until tomorrow morning to provide us with documentation proving they wrote the story: early drafts, story notes, etc.

1/8 Our most recent episode of Demand Utopia: A Solarpunk Podcast just dropped. Part 4 of our series on Disaster Prep as Community Care is all about local resilience hubs and how to start one! #solarpunk #demandutopia #podcast #solarpunkmagazine #resilience

WHAT IS A RESILIENCE HUB?

A trusted community space that supports people before, during, and after a disruption.

A familiar place people already know and trust that expands its role during emergencies to coordinate resources, information, and care. A resilience hub supports recovery long after the crisis passes.

It’s not just a building. It’s a relationship.

Adding some recent press to my website and struck, again, by this line from @solarpunklitmag.bsky.social's review ☀️ "the opposite of apocalypse isn't utopia or even optimism. Rather, it’s responsibility, relationship, and the long, messy, collective work of making a damaged world livable again."

very excited about this issue! i love this idea of blending solarpunk & horror. It's something the judges & I talked about while reading for ECO25, that we'd love to see how hopeful solarpunk futures & settings can be blended with horror/weird storytelling & darker premises.

When disaster comes, the apocalyptic prepper fantasy says: run, hide, protect your own. But real survival has never worked that way. This summer on Demand Utopia, we’re talking about disaster prep as mutual aid, community care, and the infrastructure of survival. #solarpunk #demandutopia #podcast
