From ancient civilizations to modern innovations, humanity has always relied on nature's gifts. Today we’ll be exploring the dynamic potential of kelp, bamboo, and hemp in sowing the seeds of a solarpunk future.
With all this elections talk and the post-Biden victory high a lot of Americans are experiencing, I figured I'd remind everyone what the US has done to our world. Under both parties. Good luck, y'all got work to do. Also, don't take it personally; I'm not attacking you, I'm criticizing your country.

We need a social revolution to build a better future. But how is that process carried out? What tactics and strategies are needed to fundamentally transform the socioeconomic and political order? How do we combine a range of acts of confrontation, noncooperation, and prefiguration to reshape our world? Let's find out.

Watch the whole video before commenting. As I’ve expressed in the past, I don’t self-identify as a "leftist" because I believe it's too broad to meaningfully encapsulate the vast diversity of perspectives under its banner. I just wanted to clarify my position in greater detail in this video so that y’all understand where I’m coming from, even if you disagree. Peace!
