RE: https://spore.social/@foundseed/116545214905646682

just got some reach(engagement) from a picture postcard toot about my utterly ludicrous cabin-fever dream of a solar powered bicycle cargo trailer for my cargo bike

I use:
*For Fucking Mowing Lawns!*
WTF am I doing?

tagged it SolarPunk

which tangentally landed me on @foundseed 's essay

& I'm still chewing on it.

It's a well reasoned work

my excuse:
mow lawns in a Univ Town, because I'm old and irrelevant, lawns are stupid,
'grass cops' exist & hurt students & workers
i try to do it better

@cpm I cannot affirm this. “Solarpunk” is silly, yes, but then tying oneself to *any* kind of “-punk” identity, only to inevitably outgrow and supersede it, feels like an exercise in pointlessness.

Do the work or don’t, find the others or don’t, don’t worry so much about what it’s called, you know? Labelmaking is something you do with a Dymo.
