Boost (Mastodon): The problem with dystopian satirical fiction is that it's too real nowadays. You can sit around coming up with an idea for a short story but it just ends up being something like "DraftKings Jr: Sportsbooks for little leagues" and then you start to get terrified the silly idea you just had will actually become real in under 5 years The #solarpunk people are on the right track I think with the idea of writing utopian fiction instead because it's genuinely more bold to imagine things actually being good. We're all cynical now so actually envisioning something worth fighting for is the real bitter pill we need now and not depresso wallowing in our pessimism. The real opportunity I think is in the liminal space between the two. Write about a revolution in progress and the sorts of conflicts between now and what we want by 2050 or so. — Fluffy Kitty Cat (@fluffykittycat@furry.engineer)
