When I first got on Mastodon I got followed by some #solarpunk people, and followed them back, and looked at their image posts and got the same feeling I got at the end of the Planet Earth 2 series, where David Attenborough was all "But we don't have to be so horrible to the environment, look at THIS" and showed us this lovely green city in Australia and I went "YEAH LET'S DO THAT THAT'S EFFIN' GORGEOUS." It was a weird emotion, one that felt kinda new and unfamili- HOPE, YEAH IT WAS HOPE
