# Solarpunk, Realism, Dystopia: a Rant

A meditation on why visualizable hope matters; also, a pitch for solarpunk.

This zine was originally published on Tumblr[1]originally published on Tumblr by Tumblr user the-lemonaut[2]the-lemonaut. We found it kind and lovely, and wanted it to reach a larger audience; hence, by kind permission of the artist, we present it here as a minizine.

This zine is formatted for legal-sized paper (8.5x14in), in order to preserve the aspect ratio of the original drawings. (If you have a printer that can do letter-sized paper, it can nearly always do legal-sized through the same media input tray that takes envelopes, if it doesn’t have a legal-sized primary input tray.) Once printed, it should be cut and folded in the same way as a regular minizine[3]in the same way as a regular minizine.
