I write a #solarpunk #story about people living in a place called #vaerd. Be sure to read the comments of story posts. Follow, share, or like to buoy my spirit.
I was so enamored by the sweeping lines, white walls, and clean blue solar glass of the Summit; they seemed the pinnacle of clean efficiency. It wasn't until I was old enough to know how much coerced labor goes into that appearance of cleanliness that I realized how dirty the city actually was.

@seddidiot.bsky.social Hi! I love your work and would like to talk about commissioning a character. It's from a solarpunk story and world I've been building for my kids. Is that something you would be interested in?

@endlessformsart.bsky.social Hi, I saw you on Itch and love your work. You mentioned being open to collaboration? I'm working on a ttrpg that tells stories of people coming together to fix a scarred world. I'm very stuck on layout and design and would love any input you're willing to give.

Baking is rebellion. For the last two weeks, Daerk and I have been baking bread almost every day. More than we can eat. We take the loaves to the neighbors, introduce ourselves and explain we're outside most days. A lot of people think we're crazy, but a few have come to join us. #solarpunk #story

DAERK CAN BAKE. He used to bake for his wife but kind of gave it up when she passed. It was difficult to balance my desire to be respectful and my demand for carbs, but in the end the latter won out and I demanded bread. It was delicious y’all. #solarpunk #story

Daerk’s been coming out almost every day. His wife got sick a few years ago and passed soon after. He didn’t realize she was his whole community, and now he doesn’t know how to make friends. He was shocked when I said I was the same. To him, I’m like a super networker. Weird. #solarpunk #story

New plan. I told Daerk that I need his help. He has a nice sunny spot on his lawn and I want to plant a groundhog garden there. He just needs to come out once a day to water it, and whatever grows the groundhogs can eat. Then he and I can split my garden. I hope that’s enough. #solarpunk #story

I decided my community is more important than my awkwardness and banged on Daerk's door for 10 minutes. He finally came out but looked awful. I kind of panicked and told him the fence didn't work and that I need his help making a sacrificial garden. At least he's outside. #solarpunk #story

I built the fence but Daerk had stopped coming outside. I was getting worried about him. His car was there and I could see movement in the house, but he just didn’t come outside. I finally got the courage to knock on his door, but he still hasn't answered. I’m not sure what to do. #solarpunk #story

Daerk’s pretty smart. He came up with a fence to protect from diggers. it's buried 8 inches underground then flares out in an L shape. When the VAGRANTS hit the fence and try to dig under it, they hit the fence again and give up. Genius! I can't wait to show it to him in action. #solarpunk #story

There's a marauder in our midst! A rodent with no respect for the sanctity of life! Last night, this RAPSACLLION decided to disregard any semblance of respect by digging UNDER MY FENCE to eat my sprouts. A few survived, I will carry on, but this aggression will not be forgotten. #solarpunk #story

I made a friend! Porch guy (Daerk) comes out every day at pretty much the same time, so now I do too. I weed and he talks. He works from home and doesn't get much interaction, so I'm happy to listen. It's not what I expected to grow from my garden, but I like it. #solarpunk #story

I decided my peas deserve better and ventured back outside. Porch Guy came out not long after and apologized for scaring me. He said he used to be a smoker. When he gave it up he missed being outside more than the smoke, so now he just stands. So he's not a weirdo. Or we both are? #solarpunk #story

Oh God, I'm the weird one! Porch guy saw me and Instead of a normal gardener staring at a weird guy staring into space, it became a normal guy being gawked at by a dirt covered savage.
I think my garden is finished as I can no longer go outside.

There's a guy who just stands on his back porch every day. I've been making a little rock for my garden and every afternoon he steps out and just stands there, doing nothing. Then, a few minutes later, he goes back in. It's weird. #solarpunk #story

I planted my peas today. I turned the soil and mixed it with dirt from the store, I put up a little fence and made a trellis out of some sticks from our back yard. I felt like a real farmer, ready to plant! I ripped open the packet of seeds and it was just a bunch of peas. #solarpunk #story

Gardening is the opposite of social media. I decided to do one thing: plant a few seeds. It took all day, and then I was just done, no dopamine, no feedback. It made me antsier, too. I’m so wired to expect a reaction that getting nothing feels like failure. #solarpunk #story

My anxiety started when our Capital elected a new board. Everything was changing, everything was uncertain, and I realized how far away I was from the mechanisms of my own survival. The food I get, the people I interact with, space I inhabit could all simply be turned off. #solarpunk #story

Tonight we will go to Cordie's farm. People from the town and people from the village will come together for a meal made by Cordie herself. We will tell stories from the year behind, and share wishes for the year ahead. We will eat and drink and sing and dance.

Hey, I just wanted to give a quick update in the valley. There's a tenuous peace between the village and the town. We're providing food and the town is salvaging materials. They're still trying to recapture the old world but they aren't quite as zealous about it anymore. #solarpunk #story

Among other things, today is a day to celebrate the sun. On a day when the source of our life is at its farthest and most scarce, it is worth taking a moment to stop and consider what we have.
We should also celebrate pastries as heartily as possible.

Busy time of the year. Transitioning between the seasons is always a bit of a drag, so we host celebrations to bolster our spirits, but those come with a whole other set of responsibilities! It's better than waiting for spring in the dark, but still a lot to juggle. #solarpunk #story

In going through this old archive, I've found a lot of recordings from business meetings in the Capitals. First, most of them have 0 views? Why did they record them if no one ever watches them? Second, how are they so good at being so polite and so rude at the same time? #solarpunk #story

Looks like Eduart quit wherever rebellion he was a part of to help Yzma with her garden, but that other rebellion kept going. He keeps alluding to some big event but I can't find what it was. Something terrible happened, I'm just not sure what. #solarpunk #story
