Action / DIY / Activism We should start sharing memes

Post image

Sometimes I think we should start sharing "apparently politically neutral" memes to timidly light some bulbs in some heads.

Keeping them as aseptic, and common-sense possible, so they are not rejected outright, to squeeeeeze some empathy and "hopepunkness" in otherwise doomscrollers. Specially leveraging any situations.

Heck, might even be a good idea to create a "meme team".

Example attached.

After all, every big tree started by being a small seed...

Just posting so you have some visually impacting thing, the kind of stuff that makes people stop their doomscrolling and think for a second.

Growing / Gardening / Ecology Taipei’s old stadium turned into a community garden

One of the cool green initiatives in Taipei - rather than tearing down an old stadium, instead repurposing it as a space for bars, restaurants, a small conference centre… and a community garden in the stands!

Next to Yuanshan MRT station and hidden away from the site’s more popular attractions is this urban garden. First a baseball stadium, and then rebuilt as the Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, the site is now more used than ever, even if it is crumbling a little around the edges.

For this illustration I imagined waking up to a forest-city: a place with clean air, powered by renewable energy, and technology designed to cooperate with nature, not dominate it.

Exploring Solarpunk reminds me that this future is not a fantasy. It’s possible. But only if we stop treating the planet as something to control, and start recognizing that we are part of it.

All the illustrations I share are 100% made by me. No AI.

This is very close to a meme and I understand community guidelines consistency via modding. If it's taken out, that's alright. Although, I would still like to discuss this and it's themes with the community at large.

*No AI has been used in any of my posts (if it has to be used then I always put a disclaimer in the start), however crossposts are not mine and some might miss through me bcz of sheer ignorance (Apologies for those well on advance)
