For the night dwellers

[lunarpunkwonder]

LunarPunk 🌙

Lunarpunk is Solarpunk for the night dwellers. Similar philosophy and movement but with a darker, bioluminescent, celestial aesthetic. With a focus on Community, Sustainability, Reducing Light Pollution, growing Native Flora and creating a livable and thriving home for the night dwelling Fauna (nocturnal animals, insects, and people too), and obviously, don't forget the Punk.

Lunarpunk is a very new and slowly growing subgenre and community, please continue to add new ideas, add to the conversation of sustainability, do research in your own area about the local flora and fauna, what you can do to help reduce light pollution, even if it's just coming from your home, how to be more energy efficient, how to reduce waste, save money on electricity, see if you can switch your lights to LEDs, speak with your neighbors about switching as well.

Any little bit counts.

Developers want to build a 69,000 square foot Data Center right next to the Nashville Zoo. This will greatly impact the environment. The noise and air pollution could have severe negative effects on the animals, people and ecosystem in the surrounding area. The Nashville Zoo has 3000 animals in their care and many are endangered species.

You do not have to be from Tennessee to sign this petition! The Zoo is asking for help.

Lebanon & Ways to Help

Lebanon Needs You More Than Ever. Know more about the crisis in Lebanon, sign petitions, donate or explore volunteering opportunities.

Lebanon War Response - Lebanese Red Cross

What is happening? Since the 17th of September, the war in Lebanon has escalated rapidly and the death and destruction has reached all areas

[solarpunkfool]

What if we win?

What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?

What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?

What if the rainforest ADVANCES?

What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?

What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?

What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?

What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?

What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?

What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?

What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?

What if we win?

How would you win?

Periodic reminder that your library more than likely has books on quilting. Books on knitting, and sewing, and painting, and gardening whatever you're into the library probably has books about it. It probably has ebooks too, and magazines.

Your library has all kinds of resources and they absolutely want you to use them.

I also think a core tenant of Lunarpunk is individuality, and allowing people to be themselves, And the embracement of 'odd' types of peope

I.E: Pagans, Night Owls, Neurodivergent people of all types, disabled people, etc

Lunarpunk also has some roots in spirituality, and therefore includes it. To me, this shows that, even in a potential future like ones often seen in Lunarpunk and Solarpunk artworks, there will always be those who find comfort in the belief of a higher power or mysticism (like my own Hellenic Polytheism)

Just my own thoughts about Lunarpunk!

[lunarpunkwonder]

Yes! Love that! 🌙

[lunarpunkwonder]

Remember, even if it's not turned on, plugged in devices and appliances use electricity.

Some examples are Lamps, Fans, Heaters and Chargers.

Unplug what you're not using. Save some energy and money.

[lunarpunkwonder]

Hello, as this post is still getting interactions and I never saw the comment on here from last year I just wanna say this post was about your electricity bill, not individual carbon footprint. Devices plugged into outlets, even unused, still take power from your home and can raise your electric bill.

And while individual people are not responsible for the state of the planet, a Solarpunk/Lunarpunk future starts with community, it starts with us because governments don't care. Individual people trying to live more sustainably can absolutely help in small ways.

Anyway this original post started with me going on vacation last year and my dad telling us to unplug everything that wasn't necessary as to not use electricity while we're gone :)

simple tutorial on how to make those bottlecap buttons you see everywhere

you'll need:

bottlecap•soda tab•safety pin•pliers•sandpaper/file•paint/paint markers/smth to decorate with•clear nail polish

remove the print on the buttons using a file or the sandpaper

(if you wanna keep the print skip this step, use a cloth to protect the print from scratches when folding down the sides of the cap)

fold down opposing sides of the cap, to help add in the safety pin

bend the tab at a slight angle, insert it into the cap. make sure the side of the safety pin that can not open is the one stuck under the tab

fold down one side of the cap to lock the tab in place, then try and press the tab as flat as you can, to lock the safety pin in place (prevents the buttons from moving on the safety pin, if you like rattling buttons, skip this step)

fold down all other sides of the cap

cover the button in one or more base layers of paint

add ur design (i use paint or paint markers for good coverage and vibrant colors)

cover that in one or two layers of nail polish, it will protect the button from rain and the paint from cracking

thats it, lemme know if you want tutorials on anything else, i like making em.

Climbing remains of the old world

A concept art to my BA thesis film

[papasmoke]

half of Americans not even knowing more Palestinians than Israelis have died by now is one of those facts that's going to haunt me until I die

[papasmoke]

Blaming the American public at large for such catastrophic ignorance is warranted, USAmericans have historically thrived in ignorance of our own foreign policy, as there is little immediate material interest in caring for the plight of colonized people for those in the imperial core, however such a massive level of ignorance has to be nurtured and encouraged.

For a topic that has received as much coverage as it has for 6 months to have granted the American public no more wisdom than a coin toss, obfuscation has to be intentional. In press conferences, public appearances by elected officials, and news reports alike, the Israeli death toll has been emphasized and eulogized countless times while the Palestinian death toll has been questioned, denied, minimized, justified, and alluded to in when possible only the vaguest terms.

American ignorance is as much a policy choice as the bombs we send Israel.

House centipedes are top predators in their niche (which, in most of the world, is specifically indoors). They kill bedbugs, cockroaches, and other bugs that are parasites on humans or pose actual harm.

Their movement and speed makes my monkey brain panic but it's important to remember that they're good guys.

Another note about centipedes, house spiders, and some other bugs commonly found indoors: Often, they don't actually belong outside—many of them are synanthropic species that are native to a small area of Earth, but on most of the planet, they are found ONLY indoors! Some of them have lived in association with humans for so long, we're not even sure where they're native to.

In other words...most common "house spiders" couldn't live outside in most places because their habitat...is in the house.

Your house is basically its own biome that has its own characteristic fauna. It's pretty cool.

It is a form of mutualistic symbiosis, because they protect you from parasitic organisms that would actually do harm to you, and keep populations down of bugs that could contaminate food and such

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.

Ryan Gainer was a 15 year old Autistic Black boy who was shot and killed by police in California.

Ryan seemed to have been having a meltdown, he was holding a gardening tool, police were called to the house but they are refusing to release any body cam footage of the shooting and refusing to state how many times Ryan was shot, they failed to help him before the paramedics arrived.

After shooting him Ryan's family was then forced out of their home while the police rummaged through their house looking for any justifiable cause for shooting Ryan.

This is hardly the first time the San Bernardino police department has attacked or killed people having a mental health crisis.

Rest in Power Ryan.

Ryan Gainer Memorial-Funeral Expense, organized by Rachel Gainer

We the Gainer family, are humbly asking for your financial support for our dear lov… Rachel Gainer needs your support for Ryan Gainer Memori

We the Gainer family, are humbly asking for your financial support for our dear loved one, Ryan Gainer's funeral expenses. Ryan was a 15-year-old Autistic teenager whose life was taken far too soon at the hands of the San Bernardino Sheriff Deputies. We are lost navigating this traumatic experience; battling feelings of devastation and unimaginable despair. Ryan was a great kid, our world; he didn’t deserve this! In addition to processing the abruptness of the situation, we find ourselves in a finacial hardship and are calling on our community for help. Ryan was very active in our community; involving himself with tutoring kids afterschool, assisting with robotics programs, community clean up and so much more. He was a super intelligent, kind, generous, respectable, thoughtful, funny, goofy, charismatic person, who always saw the good in people. Ryan wanted to be a mechanical engineer and run track for Oregon State University one day; our hearts continue to break at the thought of him being robbed of his bright future. All donations will help cover the cost of the burial and funeral expenses. Your generosity is appreciated but your prayers are essential and valued. Thank you for helping in this difficult and challenging time, for taking the time to visit this page, and for sharing Ryan's story. Autism Awarness Is Important!! With love,gratitude, and a humble heart -The Gainer family.
