idk about “egotistical” because while much of solarpunk aligns with my personal ethos, a lot of that ethos developed due to living in poverty with chronic pain and mental illness. i probably wouldn’t have developed the linux autism without that.

my partner does a few things that technically fall under solarpunk as well. he likes to go around the neighbourhood during bulk pickup season to sort through the trash on their curbs, take home anything interesting, repair it if needed, keeps what he likes, sells what he doesn’t. we love hitting up thrift stores and pawn shops for fun (and sometimes profit). we used to do public transit but due to weather and/or my mobility we mostly just travel with his mom in her car now. he also helps her with the gardening, only some of which is produce. he’s currently the go-to lawnmower repair guy for the landlord next door, and is paid well. he does the maintenance on our rental home but afaik he does all this purely because that’s just how he is. he wouldn’t even call it solarpunk.

doubt it’s related but i can’t authenticate XMPP rn, movim is saying “failed to authenticate. You entered wrong data”
