Mainly, it dates the C21st climate catastrophes that destroyed civilisation. I bit that bullet hard. Had to detail the shit and get past all the billionaires dying in disgrace so Earth could start recovering and my story can start. 2026-06-28T23:26:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswdldvp49e7x54ahadvwec8raujyvymr3qr5s6smv4x5xkzdcdzyszyz64ju42zm0nyt0ee6mgknzyvdjzxc99agjf9s0qa4yuckudnyatw650uez #Fedihelp Is anyone here in contact with #LadyGaga? My 14yo grandson who I love dearly is lying in hospital on life support. His mum, my daughter, is reading aloud for him the David Attenborough book he was planning to get. His favourite artist is Lady Gaga and my daughter is trying to contact her, to ask if she might send our boy a message to be read to him. It would mean a lot. I know this is a long shot, but can anyone put me in touch? 2026-06-25T09:56:58Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdjzfvazuc8lj4e6aknh5k2k2nd9u4d6wwr2rhrad5ftqa9vddlnczyz64ju42zm0nyt0ee6mgknzyvdjzxc99agjf9s0qa4yuckudnyatwzdxcdf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfjqhnc695wjan6n9wred5j3s9rgwtzhluuwpkeu765e7nszv0r2smdnrwd'>nevent1q…nrwd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I like being on Mastodon though.

What is its genre or genres?<br/><br/>A #SolarPunk novel set on the Atlantic coast of Ireland. In the 25th century CE, 400 years after climate catastrophes killed the fossil-fuelled civilisation, a community of artisans and their families assembles in a forest boatyard to build a big wooden cargo ship of sail. Trade in products, skills, and traditions from across oceans is part of the process of building the ship and the community. 2026-04-20T08:12:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr65zupfhuuy4yhnqdggmqdzwhswg3lw2v3hnn7kkcclkftu9qgnczyz64ju42zm0nyt0ee6mgknzyvdjzxc99agjf9s0qa4yuckudnyatwm267r4 #PennedPossibilities 976 #WritingCommunity #SolarPunkSunday <br/><br/>What aspect of your SC’s personality are they most insecure about?<br/><br/>Ash grew up learning from her ma and pa, the boat yard engineers, and now in her mid-20s she is the yard&#39;s valued maker/repairer of tools and machinery.<br/><br/>&#34;I&#39;m nervous around Charlie, our new wind and waves engineer.
