It didn’t feel like a word dump, so no need to apologize :)

I don’t want to say no. I’ll think about it :)

Otherwise, I have loads of ideas that I want to share.

Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like one of the implied theses here that solarpunk needs more expensive, vivid paintings, before drsgments will be successful?

The way I look at it, it is not about getting the machine to support solar punk fiction. If they were to fund solarpunk projects, then surely, it will be compromized. Instead, what I think we should be aiming for, is to inspire horizontal culture. That we appreciate and normalize personal expression.

This could take shape in that we normalize singing, performing poetry, sharing good fairytales.

I guess successful drsgments lead to even more vivid paintings in a circular way, so I guess the idea is either pick up a paintbrush or a shovel?

A strong dragment is defined by it’s cultural expression and entering reality. This in turn will sprout new draggers whom join the dragment and makes it even stronger.

Thank you:)

I feel like the post ended a little bit like this:

But I hope the message about the role of dreaming and dragments came accross.

There’s nothing wrong with that flag from what I am aware.

The flag I made is primarily intended for showing my political stances, but it fits under the the solar punk tradition as well, which is why I call it a solarpunk flag. It’s also an anarchist flag, a humanism flag, ecological flag, and feminist flag.

I like to think that indigenous communities is to a larger or lesser extent anarchist. Perhaps by looking into everyday stories of these communities, you can get some inspiration as to what kinds of journeys are appealing to them. I haven’t done this myself, but at least that’s what I would do if I were you.

NOTE I don’t mean to superficially criticize, but I’m just very aware of how we elect our words. I haven’t looked into the article itself yet, so this is not to criticize the content of the post.

The word repair is a word that we should avoid when it comes to talking about turning our planet well again. Repair turns Gaja into an unliving machine, similar to a car or a washing machine. Repair is a word we use for unliving things, but Gaja is living.

We should instead dream of a world healed. By doing this, we transform our understanding of Gaja. As a being that needs to be taken care of instead of as something that is used to our benefit.

By looking at Gaja as a living being, we also challenge our conception of improving our world. Because we are taught to look at bringing forth positive change as finding solutions. But solutions are what we do in engineer work. The doctor doesn’t talk about their patients as problems to be solved, but rather patients to be healed, or unwellnesses to be healed.

In other words we need to go away from an engineer mindset towards a doctor mindset. Working with the living instead of machines. To relight away from problem solving towards unwellness healing.

The engineer mindset makes us see the world superficially without requiring to take the totality of the body in mind.

The doctor mindset on the other side makes us see the world wholistically and taking everything into account.

Using engineer mindset tells us that we need engineers to improve our world, whereas using the doctor mindset tells us that we need healers to heal the world. This will channel people into becoming healers instead of engineers.
