I keep seeing a lot of writers and youtubers still using #AI images to illustrate #solarpunk - even Aeon in their latest article did so. Could I ask you to help spread https://storyseedlibrary.org/ around? If you know a #sustainability / #climate creator who might want to talk about the movement, could you share the Library with them? All SSL #art is human-made, Creative Commons (some even for commercial use) and translated to multiple languages! #illustration #climateChange #futurism #hopepunk

I've reactivated this account for times when I want to be a different me, so here's a new #introduction. Hi, my name is KM Herkes, and I'm a neurodivergent creative who writes #hopepunk & #fantasy novels I'm also a gardener, a baker,, & a collector of shiny things. Sometimes I work at a public library. I live in the Midwest w/ 3 cats & one spouse in a big old house with a small yard full of native plants & pollinators. I love bad movies, good food and non sequiturs. #writing #scifi #ADHD

I'll be bi-locating next week. Actually, tri-locating! Offering "Writing Hopeful Futures" workshop at WriteHive annual online con. It's prerecorded (and I love how it turned out, including guest appearances). As it runs, I'll be taking part in the discord convo, hearing your ideas & answering questions. AND I'll be at Readercon same weekend. 3 places at once! Join us? Sun. 12p EDT https://www.writehivecon.org/#solarpunk #hopepunk #hope #SpecLit #SFF #WritingCommunity

Rather than demolish it, the city council (and I won’t say it didn’t take some extensive lobbying bordering on bribery) decided to open up the enormous disused tram depot as municipal allotments. Local tower block residents can apply to reserve their own portion of workshop or switchyard to maintain and use. I’m not sure if anyone remembered that the tram lines had been buried under city streets—not removed— but we dug them up anyway. #Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot #hopepunk #Title_Rail_Backyard

I'm excited to see my non-fiction essay about #solarpunk (co-authored with @ana@wandering.shop ) on the #BSFAAwards2026 long list! Published by @ecologicalcitizen.bsky.social we discuss the mindset shift that solarpunk embraces: that nature is talking and, if we want to live sustainably, we need to learn to listen.
