So, this is strange. I had forgotten this account ever existed and it’s tempting to deactivate it for good. But then again, it’s been two years. I don’t think anyone even follows me and I find that a little cathartic. It’s like a clean slate but without the factory reset. So I may stick around for a bit and see how I like it.

hm, i feel like there’s a big problem when we try to visualize a sort of “solarpunk”-like society where we assume that every place a gonna be a grassy, tree-fillled, green city and that’s like fine and all but it’s very inauthentic to the diverse landscapes of our planet. for example, i live in southern california and ive seen trees and grass but i’ve also seen desert with cacti and bushes and dry land. when we associate our future, our “progress”, with a certain landscape we are not treating the land with the respect it deserves. deserts, plains, mountains, marshes are all apart of the world we live in and we need to invision a future with those lands too

also with all this in mind, a lot of this aesthetic and line of thinking can be damaging to indigenous communities. thinking the desert is just “empty space” and thinking the plains should be replaced with forests go hand-in-hand with colonialist ideology. no land is empty land, it is always someone’s home. we need to make space for indigenous people in our solarpunk, cottagecore, vegan, etc. ideologies if we ever want to truly make progress and not perpetuate the same shit with a different brand on it

The MOST cottagecore is fighting for indigenous sovereignty and then working communally on the land to support each other as well as the environment while not upholding colonial ideologies

Hello I’m ready to be unextinct for Pride 🌈

rainy day ⛈️
