#solarpunk aesthetic

It's actually so ideologically important to me that solarpunk aesthetics don't fall into the trap of just being "cottagecore with a bit of technology"

I made some solarpunk soda tab jewelry!! Again. And I'm making more. (Image ID at the bottom of he post)

A choker, a pair of earrings, a belt/waist chain and some bracelets using 100% thrifted/recycled materials! The choker and the bracelets have two layers so that the sharp aluminum edges on the back of the tabs aren't making contact with skin, you can kinda see it in the pictures. Here are more pictures:

[Image ID: 8 images. The first one shows a choker made out of soda tabs, with black cord weaved through it forming x shapes. There's a silver spike charm hanging from every other tab about an inch apart from each other. Im in the picture wearing the choker, my face is not in frame but my pale as fuck neck is visible and so is my dark brown hair.

The second image shows a pair of clip-on earrings laying on a sage green background. Each earring is made of 6 soda tabs weaved into a flower shape with green yarn, and three dangles hanging from the bottom. The dangles are made of a wire link with a black bead on in and a silver spike charm hanging from that. The same spike charms I used for the choker.

The third image shows a 2 ft 7 inch long belt chain made of the soda tab flowers from the earring image. Each flower is made of six tabs weaved together with the same green yarn but they yarn fades to yellow towards the end of the chain. 16 soda tab flowers are linked together with large jump rings and there are large silver clasps on each end to attach to a belt.

The forth image is my hand wearing a black compression brace and two soda tab bracelets. They are weaved together the same way as the choker, with the cord forming x shapes, but the cord is orange and not black. The bracelets are the same size, 8 inches long when laying flat including the clasp. There are two layers of soda tabs which makes the bracelet a little thicker.

The next 2 images shows a dress form wearing the belt chain from two different angles. It had a black skirt with a soda tab belt, with various spikey chains hanging from it. There's a black strip of grommet tape hanging on the right side of the belt and my soda tab flower belt chain hanging on the left side.

The next image shows one of the bracelets at and angle so the double layers are visible, and the last image shows the bracelets, the choker, and an unfinished soda tab choker with green ribbon weaved through it all laying flat on a sage green background. End ID]

Just a reminder, that generative AI has no place in Solarpunk 🥰

My dad’s poor hat is hanging on for dear life. He thrifted this thing 12 years ago, which means it’s probably 15 at least. For christmas I patched up a giant tear across the front and he immediately ripped it again. Less than a week later. The fabric is literally disintegrating. I repaired it once more, this time with yellow patches. I plan to keep going until the whole thing is covered, keeping an embroidered tally on the inside of how many times I’ve fixed it :) Each patch will be a different sashiko pattern, making it into a little sampler.

How Solarpunk Fiction Defies Dystopian Doomerism

Move over cyberpunk. Make way for solarpunk, the defiant ecosocialist answer to dystopian doomerism.

By accepting as inevitable humanity’s demise by its own hand, post-apocalyptic fiction places no responsibility on the living to course correct.

Solarpunk looks towards a post-capitalist future of renewable energy. It rejects climate “doomerism” and shows what our collective future could look like if we heal our relationship with the natural world.

Far from Star Trek’s “full luxury space communism,” where humans race across galaxies via endless sources of energy, the technology in solarpunk is imminently achievable. In the anthology Future Primitive: The New Ecotopias, science fiction writer and democratic socialist Kim Stanley Robinson describes this genre as rejecting “the inevitability of the machine future.”

Instead [solarpunk] asks, “What is the healthiest way to live? What is the most beautiful?”

Rather than Elon Musk’s tent cities on Mars, these fictional worlds “cobble together aspects of the postmodern and the paleolithic, asserting that we might for very good reasons choose to live in ways that resemble in part the ways of our ancestors.”

Me and my sister stumbled upon this little corner during our walk. I thought the lamps look futuristic, so I took a picture. And then we noticed that there are symbols hanging from the branches.

These symbols are "tamga", aka markings that bashqort and other turkic tribes/families used to mark their territories, tools, honey harvesting trees and livestock. Sometimes tamga were even used as signatures on official documents. Each tribe/family has their own tamga, and every time a new generation separates and forms a new family, they add a line or whatnot to the tamga they inherited, slightly changing the symbol. I found this really fascinating, personally.
