Honestly, the categorization of the #solarpunk vision as "Utopic" bothers the hell out of me as a Greek person. The use of utopia as a word has been a linguistic tool against optimism for as long as we've agree to hold onto it.

Ουτοπία (utopia) literally translates to "a place that can never exist", and our complacency to accept it as the opposite of dystopia is doing us harm by perpetuating this idea that a society built on "good" cannot happen; is impossible.

Believe it or not, there is a word for something which I believe describes solarpunk and our vision perfectly: Ευτοπία (Eutopia / Pronounced eff-topia), "the best POSSIBLE place" and we might as well adopt it

I still love my LG V60—it's the best phone I've ever had—so of course the corporate division responsible for it shut down—but this thing runs so 🤬ing hot that I could use it as a hand warmer in winter.

I haven't been able to find the perfect / app (for me) so I'm thinking of my own.

It's a very simple concept that I need to execute: automatically adjust sets and reps according to a strength-gains-stamina spectrum and automatically progress those numbers as the user improves.

I was trying to write about the app and how it's really helpful for people with who need to memorize large amounts of information. Because it remembers how well you know individual , once you have the cards loaded into the app, you don't have to waste dopamine on organization and can just focus on . It's been an incredible help to me—whenever I have an impulse/reminder to , all I need to do is open the app. It's an incredible tool for .

If you've been searching for something new to watch, and especially if you're into stuff, I recommend the new series. (The 1994 movie and the book they're based on are worth your time, too.)
