As you should. The admins and moderators of this instance share in that sentiment. It would be a contradiction of this organization’s mission statements and policies aimed at protecting artists if that’s the case.

Their resources may be limited but that’s good they offer accommodation. I assume you’re referring to the residency. This is just an open call for artists to submit art.

Thanks. Solarpunk is deeply connected to Praxis as evidenced throughout this instance and readings that have been shared already. I’m trying to understand what specifically in this article could be useful for this community. As the first commenter pointed out, it’s a bit unclear from the piece itself

What part of this you think applies to Solarpunk and this community?

Thanks for catching that. It’s valid criticism and the article should attribute more sources. There are other articles about this program that are unfortunately behind a paywall and some just mention “pilot programs” but don’t specify much further. There is this company in The Netherlands which seems likely to be one of them. You’ll need to translate the site to your preferred language.

Friendly Mod remider to keep our community welcoming to all and please adhere to the guidelines on our main page and engage in discussions without using using sexist terminology.

no bigotry, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia or xenophobia;

Good catch and important question. That would be good feedback if there’s a place to submit that. It’s unfortunate they default to hierarchical structures and more collective aspects would definitely be more solarpunk.

No problem! I’m glad you liked it and found it useful.

I hear you. That regional history must have been part of Butler’s inspiration or at least influenced it. I’m not as familiar with the geography of the area as I live in the Northeast so I appreciate your perspective. It seems as though many people saw this as inevitable and it’s a tragic wake up call for others who ignored history. Thanks for sharing the link.

Not just “a neighborhod” but several including predominently black neighborhoods as the article points out. This is far from a natural disaster and many are actively trying to claim it is. Indigenous peoples performed controlled burns that prevented this prior to colonization. The article is very brief but points this out. It’s an entire ecosystem impacted not just celebrities and Octavia Butler made some predictions that were frighteningly astute without trying to say that we are doomed to repeat this.

Great question! If you look in the sidebar of this very community and its larger instance you will find that our admins have placed helpful links to answer exactly that question. You can find the articles “What is Solarpunk?” and “A Solarpunk Manifesto” on our wiki

They can argue against the employer’s claim and prove they weren’t fired for cause. My former employer lied to unemployment and and it worked in my favor. Either way they can appeal a decision and should start consulting attorneys immediately.

Yeah, true in many cases. The post was about Cameron so that’s the only director I’m addressing at the moment but the industry is definitely filled with people using their “art” to excuse their bad and often abusive behavior like you said. There’s a lot of very concentrated power to abuse.

Cameron has an awful reputation for how he treats people on set and you really see it start to come out here pretty quickly . He’s hostile and dismissive the moment any criticism is mentioned whether it be from Roland Emerich when he tells the reporter to “move on”, proving the “overbearing” criticism right, or that anyone who criticizes his transfers as needing to “move out of mom’s basement”. His films are often awe-inspring but he’s been called “a nightmare to work with” and “autocratic” on set.

Cool! It would be nice to hear directly from them about their research and how this instance fits into it but at least we have the their results and this interview to give an overall perspective.

Try replacing the batteries. That’s often the reason for this type of thing.

Thanks for this. I love Peertube but definitely find search to be something that holds it back from being more widely adopted.

Excellent movie and currently free to view on Kanopy which you only a library card to sign up for.
