I'm crowdfunding for my new short film, a #solarpunk story focused on direct democracy, and need your support. I can't do a kickstarter since all such platforms only allow creators from particular countries, excluding mine, yet I really want to imagine a future without capitalism and central governments. There are lots of perks for each $$ you can spare!

The first two weeks of this #crowdfund is good! I didn't expect so much so soon! Thank you very much for your love to this #solarpunk short film! It's a future with no central governments, no politicians, no police, and tech exists to make every village largely self-sufficient. I need your support to envision this future. Boost or donate if you can!

On embracing solarpunk in my stories

I discuss the various genres that I work in, including Africanfuturism, afrofuturism, and solarpunk, and why I'm embracing the later as my preferred genre.

I'm #crowdfunding for a film via my website as I'm excluded from major platforms (I'm based on the wrong continent) I've developed it since 2018 and will shoot next year, but I have to figure out the vfx needed to envision this futuristic world with no capitalism, where direct democracy thrives. I need your support! Details dilmandila.com/donate/wind-a-s…

Wind: A Solarpunk Short Film

I'm making a new short film, which I'll release on my PeerTube channel. It is a final target practice for a feature film (titled Big Tree) that I intend to shoot next year, themed on direct democracy in a near-future solarpunk world.

The generous donations today leave me breathless with thanks! I'm closer to reaching my first goal to make this film that imagines a future with no government so we have direct democracy; no police so we use traditional justice systems; no capitalism so no poverty. It's a dream worth having! Your support will help me envision this future.

I'm making a film in the #solarpunk genre, live action (rather than animation) set in the near future for I want to imagine practical alternatives to capitalism. Given recent events in #us and other places battling fascism, I envision a world where direct democracy is possible, so no central governments, politicians, or police/military. Help me make it!

Ernst Fraenkel, a German-Jewish labor rights activist who left Germany in 1938 spent the rest of his life trying to understand how Germany could so easily be transformed from a democracy into a dictatorship.

"Following the Nazi power grab, Fraenkel argued, a "normative state” continued to exist in Germany for quite some time, within which the established legal order still applied for the vast majority of citizens, private property was protected, and companies could continue operating with no hindrance in order to keep the capitalist economy up and running.

In parallel, however, a "prerogative state” developed, a state of "unlimited arbitrariness and violence” wielded against certain people and institutions, who were gradually stripped of their essential rights. The majority was able to convince themselves for an extended period that they would remain untouched by the excesses of state violence. Until the prerogative state ultimately pushed aside the normative state."

America's Stricken Democracy: Trump's Thought Police Hit Their Stride

The murder of Charlie Kirk has fanned the flames of the Trump administration's lust for thought control. The hunt for his enemies and dissenters, long since begun, has entered a new and dangerous phase.

ah yes, this is the section where I keep my finest vintage problems.

Also, would it be alright to suggest an ALT text?

very cool. I got myself a Lenovo Go (Steam deck knock-off).

First thing I did was to re-image it with Steam OS. It's so, so nice 🥰
