I often post photos from bike rides around Detroit. This piece by Bridge Detroit about a neighborhood in the middle of the city is a very well reported story that describes quite clearly one instance of how so many of these neighborhoods end up so devastated: industry buys up lots, neglects them, buys more for cheaper, then starts operating a concrete plant that craters the values of the homes and poisons the residents who don't want to or can't move away

ok so! work has been done by husband and myself, and i now have ten possibilities. due to the cost/minimum order issue, i'll only be able to print maybe 3 different ones to start with, so i'm wondering if you could please tell me your favourites?
thank you so much, and please boost for more replies (if you want to!).
I finally fulfilled a long-term ambition and played at #somerville #porchfest yesterday, as part of "acid basket", using #bespokesynth to perform live improvised acid while trading back and forth with DJs. so fun.
MORE CALL OUT! Please still boost!

If you have something 1–15 mins long and suitable for all ages that you'd like to be seen, email your name, a title and a link to:

The theme is Solarpunk if you want to be on-brand, but we're up for anything interesting.
if you ever lament wasting a day of your limited life, consider: to the best of our knowledge, the heat death of the universe ensures there will only be a finite number of humans, even if we escape the solar system. so it's not just a day of your finite life, but one of finitely many days of human life that will ever exist.
