Emerging Through Red (by Yesor Graff in Morelia, Mexico)

This striking mural by Yesor Graff in Morelia, Mexico, captures a woman pushing through a torn red surface, as if breaking free from confinement. Her piercing green eyes contrast sharply with the deep red, evoking themes of resilience and transformation. The blade of grass between her lips hints at nature’s quiet defiance, a reminder of life’s persistence even in urban settings. The detailed realism of her face, combined with the illusion of a ruptured wall, makes this artwork both […]

(A repost for #solarpunk and #resilience folk of today’s edition of my #PowerOnStoryToot series)

You always felt kind of sad when walking past an overgrown, sometimes half-buried railway line. So much work went into connecting communities and providing a network of low-cost transport, that you feel a rip in your heart over your grandparents act of letting the vines of connection wither in favour of expensive, inefficient BORING automobile carriages.

The joy of watching the countryside slide by while reading a book or having a face to face conversation can’t compare to being stuck at the levers and dials of those darn cars. You wonder at the hubris of attempting to make cars self-driving, as if Gödel and Murphy hadn’t seen right through that in advance.

The train line to your daughter’s house runs past a scrapyard. The tower of Teslas is particularly tall today, must be the crusher operator’s day off. Hey, what if…

An idea-candle lights in your mind.

The scrapyard was puzzled when you wanted to buy a dozen Teslas, they run fine but who can bear the shame, they said. Won’t be keeping the bodywork, you answered.

The old spur line that terminates at the abandoned rail yard near your home was a perfect testbed. Plenty of roof space for recycled solar panels, old wooden passenger carriages that can drop on to the new teslabogeys. Your impromptu market day service between here and the next town became a celebration of community spirit, sunbonnets and sunglasses, baskets of produce, flocks of kids and dogs. The idea-candle lit other fires.

Visiting your kid last week, you noticed the scrapyard looking rather bare.

Lately, I've been asked more times than I can count how I manage to stay focused while the world seems to be on fire.

Usually I offer a few quick replies, but then, I thought, maybe it’s time to give a proper answer.

So, here it is : How I keep it together when everything else seems to be falling apart.

When needed, the deciduous tree pulls energy from its roots and up to the bare buds curled up tightly against a harsh environment...and the small leaves inside draw strength and burst through the bud scale barriers.

They start small, but grow larger and larger, producing energy that feeds the tree they belong to, and recharges the roots against future harsh events.

🆕 Building a European Alternative for Technological Sovereignty – The EuroStack Report is Out!

Europe is at a turning point. Do we shape our digital future ourselves – or do we remain spectators in a world dominated by others?

The #EuroStack Report presents a holistic blueprint—a layer-by-layer rebuild of Europe’s technological backbone, aligned to Europe’s ethical and democratic values: privacy, self-determination, and sustainability.

🔹 Sovereign AI

🔹 Open-source ecosystems

🔹 Green supercomputing

🔹 Data commons

🔹 Sovereign cloud

By building homegrown alternatives, we can empower European citizens, workers, industries to reclaim control of our digital future.

It’s time to build a digital future that truly reflects our democratic values, economic ambitions, and environmental commitments.

No coins, no chains, no big machinery but plain, efficient and scalable decentralization, leveraging the largest open internet messaging network ever created by humans ... made safe, fast and resource efficient with #chatmail servers using strong and audited #interoperable #cryptography. It just works (tm) in many places where Signal and WhatsApp fail today. It's time to reclaim "decentralization" from techbros, insist on real-life #resilience and trust this cute figure from @Xeniax :)

Having quite some success this summer with our 'Vegepod'. We have edible flowers, beans, chili, lettuces, many herbs++

This 'pod' garden system proved itself during Cyclone Gabrielle, which unleashed insane wind speeds upon us.

Well worth the investment, but surely something similar could be built from scrap metal, plywood and a suitable cover material. Whether it would be near as provably robust is another thing.
