A lot of my works fit #solarpunk but I discovered the genre recently and so this film is the first I'm making with it in mind. meaning I have to carefully create the futurism aesthetics to fit. I imagine a world without central governments or the police or capitalism, and I'm seeking your support to create this future.

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.Dilman Dila
#solarpunk spoke to me for it is all about activism, imagining a future we would all want to live in. There is the tech and aesthetics to depict, but there is also the worldview, for clean energy without social justice is greenwashing! In this #film I imagine direct democracy in a sustainable world free from capitalism. Help me make it! Share with your friends or donate if you can!

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!

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.Dilman Dila
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.

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!

After today's donations, I'm about 7% funded 2days after I begin seeking your support to make a #solarpunk shortfilm themed on direct democracy, community governance, and self-sustaining villages with all the goodies needed in modern life. I'm excluded from platforms like #kickstarter so I'm counting on you to help spread the word, or give what you can to help me visualize this future🙏

Someone asked if ostracism in my shortfilm fits #solarpunk I borrow from pre-colonial cultures to imagine how communities will handle crime yet there's no government/police using violence/jail in the name of justice.They will use rituals of reconciliation/restorative justice, but if a person is unrepentant/unwilling to pay compensatory fines, they get banished. Help me make this #film

Now at 354/2000 four days after I started a campaign to use a dark comedy film to envision a #solarpunk future with no central government, no politicians, no military - everyone participates in running the country and they use restorative justice to handle crime with banishment as last resort. I'm excluded from #crowdfund platforms like #kickstarter so I rely on you to spread the word!

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!

I wrote a book. It’s called Drystone – A Life Rebuilt.
If you like:
Non-Fiction (but make it literary)
Stone (but as metaphor too)
Feminism (but quiet and feral)
Men (but as minor characters)
Land (but not romanticised)
Motherhood (but honest)
Then congratulations, this very good book is for you.

What jobs are we preparing students for by boosting their writing productivity with AI? After shedding 40% of its workforce, the gaming site Gamurs posted an ad last June for an editor to write 250 articles per week. That’s a new article every 10 minutes, at $4.25 per article.
As @novomancy has noted, AI is only the accomplice here. This clickbait nightmare is the logical conclusion of the ad-supported web.

As an occasional journalist, I just love the way Ed Yong closes his latest OpEd at NYTs & couldn’t agree more. nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion… #GiftArticle #writing #journalism
“Journalists can act as a care-taking profession that soothes & nurtures. We are among the only professions that can do so at a scale commensurate with the scope of the crises before us. We can make people who feel invisible feel seen. We can make everyone else look.”
One positive that's come out of the recent SNS shake-ups is encountering new and deeply insightful voices I wouldn't have found in a more stable social network clusters/hierarchy. This article on letter writing philosophers, for example:

Have you guys ever went a little overboard?
It was supposed to just Illustrate in B&W the first scene of the novel, but then I liked the composition, "I'll just add the solid colors", "I'll just shade it a bit.
I'm actually proud of how it turned out, even though you can see I wasn't sweating too much on detailing the background. That cop car looks a bit f***up.
I might turn it into the cover page later.

On the topic of writing and Irish-ness, here is a short story that explains, among other things, the origins of that rumor about there being no snakes in Ireland, and why the Land of the Young became separated from ours.
It was an afterword to my first manuscript but it got bumped for word count reasons. See if you can guess who the narrator really is.
