Dutch athlete Tessel Middag is one of more than 130 professional women's soccer players who signed an open letter in 2024 criticizing FIFA's decision to partner with Saudi Aramco.

Activism, she says, comes naturally to women's soccer players, who have always had to fight for their place in the sport.

FIFA's four-year partnership with Aramco includes the 2027 Women's World Cup.

"We feel like the good work that we and our predecessors, the women that came before us have done, would be dishonoured by partnerships such as the one that was announced with Saudi Aramco," Middag said.

Both !
I feel a lot better since going vegan, in my body and in my head, I feel like i live a bit more by my values and it's great. I also think anti-speciesism has been affecting my engagement in actively doing some good in my communities (whether it's about animals, people or else)
But by becoming vegan, I had to overcome the cognitive dissonance that had been with me since I was a child, the very same one created by the agri-food lobbies to separate the product from the animal. And that has brought these two ends of the chain back together, showing that one simply cannot exist without the other. And by getting rid of this cognitive dissonance, I am more exposed to the fact that the majority of the rest of the world continues to kill, torture and so on, I am more sensitive to it for sure
So I'd say both

Did she have some particular inspiration for her monk and robot tale ? Also concerning the "no money system" in this story, did she get her inspiration from real systems or economical theories ?

Hi there ! lucky you, soon released from the little controlling brain device ! For the otp and 2fa, I use ente auth on pc, and keepassXC for strong passwords. For now I have them both on pc and phone (ente auth have sync, but keepassXC is local so you can copy and paste the file from one device to another) while my smartphone is still alive. But i try to reduce progressively the apps on my phone so the transition to dumb phone and pc only is easier.

Yeah, I feel you... I mean what really gave the impulse to my desire to dive into this project was the fact that the fantastic solarpunk animation "dear alice" is actually a damn ad for dairy products... that's so dystopic haha, "nonsense trends" is really great wording about this. I had absolute sparks in my eyes when I watch that video, and the product placement made it fake and inauthentic Your pieces are so cool, i'll do my best to add my own contribution to the art created by all the hearty artists who have worked to make people dream 💪

yeah ! I mean eventually I'd like to have some really specific subjects/professions or certain community represented in the octasolis project and I won't be able to just... do it out of only me, because i'm just not concerned and people just live their lives and they can tell you tons of little details that really makes the environment and ambiance speak for itself haha
Ofc ! etherpad sounds great. I can just add my notes on the one you created about the Mcmansion Hell discord responses if it's ok ? Did you add your work on rural and exurban areas to the wiki too ? sounds like a fantastic source for inspiration !

Thanks a lot for the support ! I'm glad you point it out because I've never had to do this much research for a project (also there was never a project that mattered in this extend to me), and it's really encouraging !
Yeah that would be really great if these researches that's been a bit simplified could benefit everyone. I just got my hands on a great pdf about consideration and facilities for the building's fauna in order to halt the destruction of the habitats of certain target species without compromising the energy efficiency of buildings. How do you think I should share my notes and resources to you ? i'm a bit wary of spam (that's why I don't post too much in the art community, i'm affraid of flooding it)

OH ! This is some gold mine your giving me here ! this will be incredibly useful, thank you so much ! you have quite a lot of content already in the list ! honestly, when I'm researching for solarpunk elements a lot of solarpunk images tend to be AI junk, picturing the same ideas over and over again (there is so many It's so sad) so having people direct ideas and what they'd like to see in a solarpunk futur is such a blast (and much more inspiring) ! thanks a lot !

oh woah, this looks actually really great for the project i'm on, I'll have to look into it a bit more but the summary is really interesting, it seems a lot is covered, I downloaded the pdf's, the traduction part might be a bit tedious but it seems really well organized so it will ease the researches.
Also I was so foccused on road and cycling space amenagement that i Absolutely did not think about "correct planting of greenery", so it will surely come really handy ~
thanks very much for those resources !!
