Plants Are Punk

Accessible sustainability and solar aesthetic. If it doesn't challenge the system it isn't radical and if it isn't accessible to the poor it isn't punk.

Are you leaving permanently or temporarily?

I mean probably permanently? Once I stop using Tumblr regularly I doubt I’d pick the habit back up. But I am thinking of ways to shift my presence to some other platform, fwiw.

[enviropunk]

Too bad you are an idiot.

Radical position, my bud. Thanks for your input.

looks like staff and support keep untagging themselves from your post on the ad issue, maybe keep tagging them again every couple hours so they have to keep seeing it, much like the rest of us have to keep seeing these gross ads

Lmfao incredible! Thanks so much for letting me know about it.

[enviropunk]

Hey @staff it’s completely unacceptable that this is what greeted me when I opened Tumblr today. Not only are you being paid to host fascist propoganda, there is no option for your users to block it. As I see it, there are maybe two options:

1) Immediately stop allowing racist, xenophobic advertising on your website and apologize

2) Allow users to easily block specific advertisers and apologize

I am planning to delete my accounts if this doesn’t get fixed. I apologize to all my followers if that is what ends up happening. However, it is not worth it to me to exist on and support a site that does this, even if Tumblr has allowed me to interact with all of you and be a part of this community.

And before anyone makes some snarky comment about Tumblr not caring or losing much money if I leave — i don’t really give a shit!! I’m not saying I’m leaving to incite a boycott, I’m stating a fact about what I will do to protect my own mental health. I believe I am not alone. But yes, not supporting bad companies is always a bonus in these situations.

Reblogging because wow y’all were quick on the useless snarky comments. Incredible.

[enviropunk]

Anyways I’m gonna probably post about this more and reblog it, but I’ll tag it all “trump ad” so you can block it. I don’t want to force my followers to see this shit all the time either.

I have been inundated with absurdly racist and fatphobic ads for mobile games (why???) for weeks now and this Trump ad thing is the last straw for real. I absolutely don’t understand how Tumblr @staff is even worse than Twitter on this.

Just got back from a free store and food share organized by several groups in my area! A group of barbers also comes here every other week to give free haircuts to our houseless neighbors All would be great ideas for Solarpunk Action Week! Get in touch with local activist organizations if you want to plan an event like this!

About 50 people answered the question “What does solarpunk mean to you?“ during my first giveaway—both new and familiar to solarpunk—and this is the word cloud of their replies. Reblog to “show don’t tell” what solarpunk is all about.

This is actually kind of like what I’m doing, except my animals aren’t for meat.

There’s actually a great book I found (of course you probably already either have it or know the material it covers) called The Backyard Homestead. It’s a good resource for anyone who wants to do this, regardless of the size plot of land you have. It covers planting seasons, canning, livestock, etc. but also has several plot layouts like the one above based on different yard sizes.

For example, if you have 1/10 acre:

Dumb bitch in the notes arguing planned obsolescence is necessary to keep costs down,

[imthehomoyourmomwarnedyouabout]

Planned obsolescence is the main reason why we have so much damn garbage on this planet, especially electronics. I’m all for abolishing it.
