Solarpunk Piracy

Twitter has absolutely no chill and I'm trying to find/create a Safe Space Ship for myself in the Our Flag Means Death fandom that is pure vibes, zero stress. Was a big tumblr user for many years until I lost access to my original account @charuka. But thought I'd make one post to say I am SolarpunkPirate in other fandom spaces, and I'm working with the Save OFMD Crew on a variety of fun and exciting projects. My core strategy with the campaign is to bring in social ecology/the solarpunk energy (have folks from the Institute for Social Ecology in the wings ready to help us out) & my skills in mental health peer support. Working on ways to ensure that mental health support is baked into the campaign, because we're all in this for the long voyage and beyond. Many in the Save OFMD Crew are brainstorming ways to continue our work far beyond season 3, one of which is using our collective power, skills, and organizing capacities to help other queer media ventures.

Currently on hiatus from public-facing campaign involvement while my mental health recovers from recent events (please do not speak to me of The Dramas 😅) but I'll be bouncing back very soon, Stede-type that I am!

Poison into positivity, bitches. 🌻💖

The #1400challenge - How to turn stimulus checks into collective power | Inhabit

The last year has demonstrated just how razor thin our margin of survival is—from the brutality of the police to the viciousness of the virus, from the absurd ups-and-downs of the economy to the glaring incompetence of the government.

Now that they’ve been forced to send some cash our way, we’d like to propose a little something they maybe didn’t expect. The idea is simple: what if we took our stimulus checks and put them towards collective use?

In recent weeks Inhabit has been collaborating with groups around the country to put together a series of kits called the #1400challenge. The result is a handful of introductory guides for a variety of collective projects—from soundsystems and meshnets to pop-up dwellings and community gyms.

Each project is based on a proven and replicable idea, a working model that has already seen action in the streets and in neighborhoods. And each could be a jumping off point for new designs, new skillsets, new encounters, and newly expanded frontlines in the battle for the future.

No doubt many of us will have to spend our checks on necessities like groceries, rent, medical bills—all the bullshit it takes to stay alive in this bullshit world. But for those who can, and especially for those who want to pool resources, the opportunity is clear: invest in collective infrastructure that increases our shared capabilities, that augments our ability to live and to fight.

Here’s our wager. We have to translate isolated, temporary solutions to individual problems into the material and ethical basis for building collective power. We need autonomous solutions that scale at the level of neighborhoods, cities, and regions. Our power together unlocks more potential than we have alone.

It’ll take more than a stuck container ship to break the hold of the economy over our lives. Design and build new ways of living together, that lessen our dependence on their system at the same time that we cultivate trust in one another. Leverage all the means at our disposal—including their cold hard cash—to bring out the beauty, dignity, and creativity of our shared existence.
