The Birth of Winnie-the-Pooh's Canadian Connection

Winnie-the-Pooh has a surprising Canadian origin! In 1914, Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn purchased a bear cub at White River, Ontario, naming her Winnipeg after his hometown. "Winnie" traveled with him to England and later lived at the London Zoo, where she became the inspiration for A.A. Milne's beloved children's character. 🧸

Solarpunk Presents Podcast

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?

In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.
