  I am the word witch. I have the magic. The men behind the machines keep stealing the spells after they're cast, but they can't recreate the magic because they aren't the source, and no matter how clever they make their machines, they can only steal, not create. We are the source. We have the magic. Don't forget it.

  So I learned today that house appraisers are biased against solar (at least the one who came to my house). He absolutely won't include any extra value to the house for having solar despite covering 50-70% of our electric usage including EVs. (Hint: he's bad at his job) 1/n

  a friend reminded me that I wrote about my journey to becoming first a #hopepunk writer, then a #solarpunk one... I blogged through that in 2020 (a fraught time when hopepunk seemed more audacious than usual, not unlike now) but revised/repubbed in 2022: https://susankayequinn.com/2022/04/a-brief-history-of-hopepunk-2.html
