Hello, Tumblr!

Hiya Tumblr! This is the official Solarpunk Presents podcast account, which will be posting our podcasts (bimonthly... every two weeks ... however you like to say it), posts from our blog https://solarpunkpresents.com and reblogging / liking excellent solarpunk content. We're just starting up our second season, so we don't have a ton of content right now, but watch this spot for podcast episodes that explore the people and projects working on bringing us a better world today. The podcast is cohosted by Christina De La Rocha and Ariel Kroon, who is the one writing this post and talking about herself in third person like a weirdo.

If you listen to our show and like what you hear, leave us a nice review on your podcatcher platform? We'd super appreciate it. If you have some money to spare and would like to support solarpunk content, we also have a Patreon, where Patrons get early access to our episodes + bonus content sometimes, when we get a minute.

Stay solarpunk!

-Ariel

We are all familiar with the term suspension of disbelief. At a guess, less of us know secondary belief. It’s a Tolkienism that he used in a way quite similar to how we use suspension of disbelief – that we look at all the impossibilities and instead of laughing, think “well that’s just how it works here”. For Tolkien, the difference is that secondary belief is what is just happens, and suspension of disbelief is what happens when secondary disbelief fails and the reader has to make a conscious decision whether to keep acting like it’s there.

SECONDARY BELIEF VS SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF

An important point here about worlds. 

We don’t suspend our disbelief when we enter an online/virtual world. We are invited to belive in them.

If anyone is interested in further reading on Tolkien and his position on secondary belief and world building, the opening chapters of Building Imaginary WorldsThe Theory and History of Subcreation by Mark J.P. Wolf is a good place to start.

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

#matilda #my beloved #never stop getting mad about the things you see that are wrong in the world

people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing

#i cant stop crying #the entire world is watching as they die #palestine #free palestine #gaza #free gaza #war on gaza #ceasefire now #israel #from the river to the sea palestine will be free

[intersectionalpraxis]

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn't use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like "...but just this once you can have it for free, don't tell my boss though" he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying "yes..... yes!!!!!" like the sickos comic

#slightly dotty child or world's most precocious scam artist? you decide. #i asked where his parents were and apparently they were queuing for a table at the restaurant across the street #he even pointed them out to me #so don't worry this was not an unsupervised bébé #be shh now #containment breach

Every moment of a science fiction story must represent the triumph of writing over worldbuilding. Worldbuilding is dull. Worldbuilding literalises the urge to invent. Worldbuilding gives an unneccessary permission for acts of writing (indeed, for acts of reading). Worldbuilding numbs the reader’s ability to fulfil their part of the bargain, because it believes that it has to do everything around here if anything is going to get done. Above all, worldbuilding is not technically neccessary. It is the great clomping foot of nerdism. It is the attempt to exhaustively survey a place that isn’t there. A good writer would never try to do that, even with a place that is there. It isn’t possible, & if it was the results wouldn’t be readable: they would constitute not a book but the biggest library ever built, a hallowed place of dedication & lifelong study. This gives us a clue to the psychological type of the worldbuilder & the worldbuilder’s victim, & makes us very afraid.

Very interesting Who else is writing ‘against world building pieces?’ this one in tiny mixtapes from 2018 springs to mind.
