pollen dust and pastels: the village

this post will be the main source of info regarding the basics of my yellowjackets agere/petre series pollen dust and pastels! it will be updated as more additions are made to the lore, but please feel free to send asks/requests at any time!

the basics

in this au, the outcome of the crash was different, and the only survivors are the named yellowjackets(including rachel & robin). also my goat coach ben! instead of the horrible nightmare we all know and love, they managed to set up a lovely primitive lesbian eco-village(and the cabin doesn't exist probably idk) :)

the garden(s)

the team's garden is more of a hodge-podge than an organized site. it's filled with the plant life that they know is edible and filling, with some areas set aside for experimentation with new crops! it's not nearly enough to feed them all on it's own, but it helps take pressure off of the hunters and gatherers.

the storeroom

built half into a hill for cooling/stability, the storeroom is where the team keeps their few non-perishables, along with smoked meats and other long-lasting foods. really, anything that they can store in bulk that belongs to the group at large is kept there.

the "dining room"

coined by little!jackie, the dining room is really two dozen or so logs strewn about around their firepit and cook site. The team eats together as often as they can, and do so outdoors whenever the weather allows it. they eat with a mixture of some pots and silverware they found at an abandoned camp, carved utensils/plates, and their hands of course :)

housing arrangements

like i said, they live in a little village, so there are various structures that house different yellowjackets. for more detailed information on that and what everyone's role in their little community is, please stay tuned for my next posts all about it!

The problem with solarpunk

A while ago I found the developing genre of solalpunk, and I was incredibly excited for it's potential. Over time however, I started having a nagging feeling about much of the solarpunk media I was seeing: it felt so...distant. All these better worlds waiting on inventions that might never happen.

I also noticed a problem exemplified by solar ovens. Now don't get me wrong, they are neat, very solarpunk tools, but having a more practical solution like an induction cooktop will usually be a generally better solution to your day to day use. The idealized solution is not the ideal solution. Practical adoption can outweigh ideal in the implementation of a solution.

And so I present a concept: Earthenpunk.

Somtimes the answer is right in front of you. An earthen wall might work better than a prefab panel of mycellium for a solution right here and now. I've noticed a lot of people remarking on similar lines of reasoning, like trains and public transit over flying cars, but I wanted a name for this idea.

Earthenpunk is an ideal of practical solarpunk, mended clothes, and local diets, smaller houses and community building, ecovillages and neighborhood markets. Asking for help and giving what you can when asked.

If people lead by example maybe we can make a prototype of the lives we want to live, and I, for one, want to live a better way.

II A Mindset to Build Worlds beyond Monetary Currency

A Mindset to Build Worlds Beyond Monetary Currency In this essay I attempt to set up an approach in the form of a ‘mindset’ that learns to

I wrote this essay out of rage against the monetary cost necessary to radically live self-sustainably. I thought that by thoroughly focusing on the origin of money, we could see further to ways humans have evolved communities without monetary currencies.

how are we to embrace traditional indigenous knowledge about our planet Earth and ecological relation to it, if we can't act in it without money? while writing this essay I stumble upon radical epiphanies about rebelling from and sabotaging the systems of our state governments--that I thought I have to teach to and share with my friends and like-minded persons. Let not the fire be alone ✊🏽.
