Hey friends, Benjamin Maldonaldo reached out to us on Instagram and asked us to share his post about a SOLARPUNK SURVEY which is super awesome!! He wants to take the temperature of what solarpunks are thinking/feeling about solarpunk itself as a movement/genre for his bachelor's thesis, and we think it's a rad concept. Here's the link:

"Dear Solarpunks, my name is Benjamín Maldonado, a Chilean 21 year old Solarpunk enthusiast that throughout the last few months, has tried to learn as much as possible about the movement and genre. This personal passion led me to choose Solarpunk as the subject of my thesis for the Bachelor of Cultural Anthropology at Leiden University. The following survey will be part of that thesis, where I will ask you about your thoughts on different matters like the Solarpunk movement, Solarpunk content, Solarpunk communities and some basic demographics. Based on the time I have spent in Solarpunk forums, it is very likely that you are also curious on what other Solarpunks think. Given this, after I close the survey I would like to share my findings with you all, hopefully contributing to the ongoing debates within the community. Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary, and all responses will be kept confidential. Your personal information will not be divulged, and your individual responses will remain anonymous. The data gathered from this survey will be used solely for research purposes related to this research, supervised by Assistant Professor Rodrigo Ochigame and Assistant Professor John Boy

It was an awesome experience and I met some very kind people. Two professors from my school were there. I have wanted to do something community based like this since I got into mycology and I was glad to finally make it happen.

Will post IDs for the fungi we saw at some point when I find the time and energy. 😭

The landscape of contemporary education is inseparable from the machinery of capital. Across continents, curricula are standardised to optimise for labour-market compliance, while testing regimes reduce human learning to metrics that feed predictive analytics and investment portfolios. Surveillance platforms harvest student data as a raw resource for profit. Even the rhetoric of “lifelong…

The architecture of MMQG was never conceived as a loose federation of three disparate practices, stitched together by convenience, eclecticism, or superficial syncretism. Instead, it was shaped as a living unity in which meditation, mindfulness, and Qi Gong form a triadic constellation, each carrying a particular mode of orientation, and each intersecting with the others in recursive,…
