Could Solarpunk be an antidote to toxic nostalgia?

For a bit of context, here is a video on toxic nostalgia. TL:DR: The upshot of the video is that society has become stuck in nostalgia. This is reflected in the absurd amounts of reboots in the television and film sector. Not only that, but it's influencing the rise of far-right political movements.

Could it be that one of the causes of this kind of nostalgia is based in an inability to imagine a better future? If this is true, could Solarpunk, as both an artistic movement and a source of inspiration to create a better world be an antidote to it?

Rural pagans seeking connections?

Happy timezones! (I find that much more efficient than saying good morning, afternoon, etc.)

Connecting with other pagans can be hard, and it can be especially difficult if you live in a rural/remote area. If you live in such a place, consider this your invitation to form a connection!

A bit about me:

- F/38, married

- OBOD

- Interested in Slavic, Celtic, Anglo Saxon, and PIE stuff with a slight interest in Hellenic stuff

- Some of my pop culture fandoms include, but are not limited to: Star Trek, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Doctor Who, Studio Ghibli, Parks and Rec, and The Office (US version)

- Some of my preferred pastimes include drawing, painting, hiking, gravel biking, and mountain biking

- By day, I work in education

- If I had to choose a favorite type of tree, it would probably be an Engelmann spruce (picea engelmanni), though Ponderosa pines are pretty cool too.

If you're intrigued, feel free to DM me. We can start by exchanging a few emails and if that goes well, we can move on to letters!

Peace!

NA for taking the edge off when it's hot?

I have a conundrum in which I find it's much easier to moderate alcohol consumption when it's cold out - tea, decaf, or cocoa works great if I just need a beverage to unwind with in the evening. When it's hot out, it's a lot more tempting to grab a beer or white wine. Anyways, I'm curious to see what other folks do in the same summer.

How many stitches for gloves when I can't measure the person's wrist?

So I knitted hybrid gloves/mittens for the first time for my husband last year. Thing is, I was able to measure the circumstance of his wrist, length of his thumbs, total length of his hands from wrist to base of fingers, wrist to fingertips. I would like to make some for some folks who I am not able to take those measurements.

For a bit of context, the guide that I used to get start the cuff to use (wrist circumference)x(number of stitches per cm). This was the guide:https://knitty.com/ISSUEfall05/FEATmittens101.html

Thanks in advance!
