Bro couldn't get people to understand, so he chopped up the city curbs himself to make rain basins, and then his neighbors followed suit, and then he ratted himself out to the city and THE CITY OF TUCSON MADE RAIN BASINS MANDATORY!!! A great example of Punk Activism changing the law! (even if he didn't know he was solarpunk, he's got the spirit.) https://youtu.be/lQ-jdUGCxcc?si=9KnsHDsz0cBC5zI1

I run spskyway.com (the skyway map with directions, hours, what's in each building, etc). This week I added a map style editor. There's a palette button on the map that lets you change the lighting (dawn/day/dusk/night), the base style, and the colors of pretty much everything - skyway lines, bridges, buildings, even the little entrance dots. It updates live while you mess with it.

So we're doing a contest. If you make a theme you like, hit "submit to contest." Submissions run through Aug 3, then finalists go to a vote in the app for two weeks. Whatever wins becomes the actual default look of the map for everyone, and the legend will permanently say "Default theme by [your name]".

That's the whole prize btw, there's no money in it. Just your design on the map every downtown worker uses to find lunch.

You don't need an account to play with it, only to save or submit (email or google both work).

​Hand-painted this outdoor public space project on Dover Road,Kolkata! Transformed the street into a vibrant community zone with custom illustrated arches and seating. Thoughts on the final look? 🎨✨
