Summer Announcements
FRIENDS, HELLO!
We got a very simple, very straightforward email today. You can read it quickly, w/ v. little emotional investment if emotions are something you must be austere with lately. You could read this standing up, on the bus or train! And you’ll be done well before your stop, leaving time for that crucial ‘stare off in the distance and think about lunch’ part of your ride. You could even–depending on your skill, and kitchen accessories–read this while doing the dishes! However, i you are feeling that crunched on time that you need to combine emails and dishes, I say just do the dishes! Come back to this later!
(If I tried to detail all the ways you could read this email, and best approaches to it…it’d no longer be that straightforward charmer I promised. Please trust that all situations have been accounted for.)
OKAY! We got some announcements for Solarpunk Magic Computer Club and Future Yoga. Basically…
We are taking December off!
We will not be meeting this Wednesday or Sunday for SMCC, or this Tuesday and Thursday for yoga. This is for a couple reasons. Firstly, it is summer and holiday season here in Wellington, and our weekends are a bit busy with Christmas and Hannukah and, for this weekend, a solar-powered synthesizer concert in the woods. It’s also v. sunny, and I have a high tendency to become a cave troll with foil-covered windows, so I am trying to intentionally walk away from the computer more!
HOWEVER, COMPUTER, I CANNOT LEAVE YOU YET. The other reason we wanna take a break, is to put more energy into the digital aspects of Solarpunk.cool and the Solarpunk Magic Computer Club. We got a site, a forum, a shared server, a calendar, that need some tending and love and we wanna give it to them. We’ve done some awesome sessions in the past, too, on web page design and css and cool esoteric editors like Vim…and want to try to document these lessons so you can enjoy the club on yr own time.
We’ve planted quite a few saplings with solarpunk magic computer club, and am excited for them to become strong and mighty bioluminescent trees.
So yeah, though we will not be doing the live events for December, we will be keeping up this newsletter and a nice slew of digital niceties will be coming yr way!
ALSO ABOUT THAT
Would you like to join the forum, or the shared server, or learn more on fun tech autonomy? Do you have questions about solarpunk.cool, or computers, or magic, or life? Reach out to us! All this (including /knowledge/) is meant to be shared!
PERSONAL WEB NEWS
One other cool announcement, my personal webpage coolguy.website got itself a whole new look and feel!
I just switched over to vIII of coolguy (and since coolguy follows the tarot versioning system, it means its moved to The Empress…) and it’s quite an overhaul for myself! It’s an intentionally sparse site right now, but will fill up gradually again, but with an intention and playfulness that I’d been missing in it for a bit!
coolguy.website is v. much my online home and altar, and this switch was about making it be the home altar I need today. I hope you enjoy it, and I’ll tell you more about it soon!
For the quick links, you can read my reasoning about the tarot versioning system or our opinions on wellington roses!
I promised a short one, I give you a short one!
I hope this email finds you as well as can be, and am excited to talk soon. See you on the forums, or around the great web, or at Wellington Zine Fest next week, or maybe in each other’s dreams??!?!
Talk to you soon, ta, enjoy the rest of your bus ride/dish wash/bathroom trip/day!
- ZACH!
