It is a story of two minds' colliding.
And no matter how it ends - the outcome will be the same - the world will collapse.

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadr@wandering.shop). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.
Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.
You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.
As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

"La fiction du mérite, que beaucoup de sociologues décrivent comme nécessaire car elle vient remplacer l’héritocratie de l’ancien régime, stipule que toute personne a un potentiel qu’elle nourrit par ses efforts et ses liens, dispose d’un principe d’émancipation, à l’image de la déclaration des Droits de l’Homme qui l’a érigée en principe. Chacun à le droit de tenter sa chance. En cela, cette fiction est rassurante, car elle paraît comme un ordre plus juste. C’est aussi une fiction sécurisante, car elle dit que les hommes de pouvoir ont les compétences pour occuper ces positions de pouvoir. Elle est aussi rassurante pour ceux qui perdent dans ce système, puisqu’elle légitime aussi cette perte. La fiction de la méritocratie est finalement apaisante pour la société, car elle ne pousse pas à analyser les raisons des inégalités et donc à éventuellement les subvertir. La fiction du mérite, nous donne l’illusion que si on n’y arrive pas, c’est parce qu’on n’a pas le talent ou qu’on n’a pas assez travaillé. Elle permet finalement de stabiliser la société."

If you're curious about how a solarpunk future could begin, this book offers some amazing, viable ideas. I'm deeply inspired by Rob Hopkins' work. #solarpunk #imagination
