I asked the authors of the Bright Green Futures anthology to pick a THEME WORD for their stories:

1-CLIMATE ANXIETY
2-CLIMATE RESTORATION
3-CLIMATE ROLES
4-CLIMATE CONNECTIONS
5-CLIMATE RESILIENCE
6-CLIMATE HERITAGE

They fit together almost like a meta story.

I'm new here. Here's my #introduction. 🌱

My name is Mim; I live in a tiny apartment in a tiny village amongst the fields and farms of rural #Nebraska.

I love sewing, drawing, playing the piano, baking, and crafting. I'm doing the #OdinProject with my daughter to refresh and relearn web development, the newest challenge in my life.

I believe in #manners, #creativity, #honesty, #positivity, #humor, #kindness, and #imagination.

I look forward to meeting you! 🌱

THE ENOUGH MANIFESTO
Core Idea:
"Try Enough, because enough, is enough."

Principles:
1. Harmony > Growth: Cultivate "enough" as a radical alternative to predatory systems.
2. Slow Tech: Federated, local, low-energy digital spaces. Let Big Tech crumble from disuse.
3. Brave Experiments: Small actions (unsubscribing, repairing, sharing) as cultural seeds.

Share:
ENOUGH is a seed. Plant it anyway.

Future Goal:
A world where "enough" isn’t sacrifice—it’s liberation.

#introduction
Mastodon is my digital hygiene compromise, I'm still spending too much time online but now #bloomscrolling instead of doomscrolling. #mosstodon changed for ever the way I'm hiking.
I try to be deliberate in boosting beauty, from #pottery to #squirrel to #hopepunk because I believe we as a species cannot function on anger and fear alone.
Also #RightToRepair #TransRightsAreHumanRights #FightForLibraries #SmashPatriarchy and many more.
One day I'll manage a #MardiPatisserie !

If super-bullies conquer the headlines with absurd crap, imagine a world without bullies in power.
It's on us to counter their #narratives with how we would like the future to be. It is up to all of us to fight for this future. Not tomorrow but now!
Write *your* plot of humanity and cooperation.

I made a zine about why we lift up hopeful climate fiction stories on the Bright Green Futures podcast! (plus my prior one about solarpunk)

You can download/print/share them (plus I have a handy video on the trick of folding them): brightgreenfutures.substack.co

Ep of the pod about how the resurgence of zines is an indicator of cultural change: brightgreenfutures.substack.co

Must say there is something beautiful and healing about seeing a bunch of strangers in a #repairCafe helping each other fix their rice cookers, format their laptops, sew their teddy bears, patch up their clothes, figure out ways to solve problems with what they've got right there and each other.

Highly recommended activity to restore faith in ordinary people when we see so much cruelty from the top.
