I'm working on putting together a basic science reference book shelf on broad topics. I've got my specialist books; what I want is books that answer questions like 'who did that one experiment with the mouse?' or 'how old are eyes again?'
What books do you recommend?

Hey #Hopepit! For pitch/ promote day I'm going to offer my extant work: the Aces High Jokers Wild series. This is one path out of corporate control and into a solarpunk future. Shenanigans, solidarity and good trouble all the way along.

Currently read "A Psalm for the Wild-Built" and I adore it's solarpunk setting so much. It has such deep world-building and every little detail shows it's history with nature and technology in harmony. I wish I could take a walk through both its urban and rural landscapes in real life 💕

For creators participating in #hopepit, I highly recommend My Life Is A Movie's solarpunk lofi for easy listening while you're working on a project. It's the perfect balance of energy and peace for a good workflow! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovpd...

#Hopepit Art Share! A Solarpunk Family. Credit Kel Carter.
Bao Li has three genetic parents. She's gene-spliced to balance out the health effects of sloppy genetic experiments done on her grandparents by a megacorporation, before the world FINALLY gave up on capitalism and focused on community.

#Hopepit Art Share 3: Solarpunk Schematics!
These are some little infographs that will go in the back of the book as part of a dictionary of tech and terms. I'm hoping they'll help kids get the ideas in accessible ways! The art on these is my own.

Hey #HopePit folks, who's doing music? I'm looking for music intros for a solarpunk story involving these two kids; if you do solarpunk music, drop your links!

For #Hopepit, I'm going to share seven of my favorite solarpunk works in the world

1) The Great Transition, by Nick Fuller Googins

A boots-on-the-ground, hands-in-the-soil exploration of what it takes to turn things around. This is the book that refutes the 'solarpunk is just daydreams' complaint.

"To continue protecting birds in an age of chaos is an act of defiance against cynicism"

An important and very relevant opinion:

In Defence of Bird Conservation in a Broken World
In a world torn by wars and crises, bird conservation can seem irrelevant. Yet to protect life itself is not indulgence – it’s resistance.

You know, I'm researching the Regency as I prepare to write my Luddite retelling...I got to say folks, I'm seeing some really unpleasant reflections of current American events. A cruel peacock in power and a society treated like a casino. Too many of us landing on zero.

Hey #writingcommunity, #writesky and #writersandeditors, want to chime in?
I want to compile the ultimate list of actions that readers can take to help indie writers, and turn it into a PDF handout sheet. I know some actions cost money but there's a lot that can be done at no cost. Please comment with your suggestions. Reposting this would be lovely, too. Thanks! #Writers

November, month of mornings, misty-bright
With golden light—
Month when the many-tinted leaf
Lies thick upon the moss below,
While to & fro
The breezes moan, as if in grief.

The candles are lit, and the spirit plates are laid. Part of my tradition is to lay foods for my own family inside the house, and a plate for all those who died without anybody to remember them outside. And I'm introducing my neighbors to the idea!
