Oh you

The Hanged Man. Art by Nicolas Bruno, from The Somnia Tarot.

This took forever and now my fingers hurt

escapril: hands, wrists, teeth

You claim again your hands are tied, We know this much is true. But there’s a fact you still deny: All this is caused by you.

Through fear and doubt and moment’s pause, You craft that fateful wire. To bind your wrists and bleeding heart, And snuff out your inner fire.

The walls are raised and mask is worn, An old routine in place. The world is free to turn once more, Just at your cautious pace.

So laugh and smile, spin your tales, All through gritted teeth. Waste your light and love to hide, The creature underneath.

hm, i feel like there’s a big problem when we try to visualize a sort of “solarpunk”-like society where we assume that every place a gonna be a grassy, tree-fillled, green city and that’s like fine and all but it’s very inauthentic to the diverse landscapes of our planet. for example, i live in southern california and ive seen trees and grass but i’ve also seen desert with cacti and bushes and dry land. when we associate our future, our “progress”, with a certain landscape we are not treating the land with the respect it deserves. deserts, plains, mountains, marshes are all apart of the world we live in and we need to invision a future with those lands too

also with all this in mind, a lot of this aesthetic and line of thinking can be damaging to indigenous communities. thinking the desert is just “empty space” and thinking the plains should be replaced with forests go hand-in-hand with colonialist ideology. no land is empty land, it is always someone’s home. we need to make space for indigenous people in our solarpunk, cottagecore, vegan, etc. ideologies if we ever want to truly make progress and not perpetuate the same shit with a different brand on it
