I love fixing my computer so much that I keep breaking it so I can fix it later! Did you know computers can scream? Do you wanna see how long I can make mine do it?

a shame it was rejected. is it because they like having their computos broken?

I'm afraid it doesn't fit the Library's spirit though :/ It shows a very narrow slice of the world and doesn't help us understand the wider context of a society in which fixing things is normal and something we can tell stories about.

Imo that's quite short sighted of them. There's ways to make a rich world depicted from the lens of an individual. And I think you did that well enough. Though based on the images I see in the library (all zoomed out shots, some with zero people at all), it sounds like the library curator does not understand that.

I'm honestly surprised such a small site, based on open source and positive community, would be so picky.

It's their project, I don't grudge! I saw the website and wanted to draw something that I thought would be fitting of the solarpunk lifestyle, so I did. Turns out solarpunk is very complex and I don't actually know what it is. I thought it was about being vegan and fixing stuff.

It's really sweet how you guys are all teaming up behind me. We could probably organize a real witch hunt, if we tried!

That would be very solarpunk I think!

Perhaps it's time for a reboot?

They said it was because of my affiliation with Funhole's founder.

I even put the panda in because it's vegan and that's solarpunk.

someone who just did it, screwed it all back together, turned it on - only to realize they forgot to plug the fan that's behind 32 screws of bezel back in to the motherboard.

I know I already engaged on this one but I keep going back to it…

I can’t tell if its a dangerous drug or a cure but it is just so comfortable and soothing to look at.
