Hopepunk is a much needed reaction to decades of dystopian and nihilistic fiction. It explores how goodness, joy, optimism, and collective action can be acts of rebellion.

"We want the world to be better—kinder, more just, more merciful. We still yearn toward noblebright, toward an honest and desperate belief that love conquers all. Except, when the other guy has more guns and fewer moral objections than we do, it doesn't.We forget, sometimes, that we have knives too in this empire. That we can unsheathe them, that we can turn our blades to the defense of an atom of justice and a molecule of mercy that might not even exist—except . . . except for where we make them exist, in the hands we hold out to each other, and in the shelter we offer even when we ourselves are exhausted, footsore, and filthy, with the wolves at our doors.There are no heroes and no villains. There are just people. That's hopepunk: Whether the glass is half full or half empty, what matters is that there's water in that glass. And that's something worth defending." - Alexandra RowlandAlexandra Rowland's post about Hopepunk: https://festive.ninja/one-atom-of-justice-one-molecule-of-mercy-and-the-empire-of-unsheathed-knives-alexandra-rowland/Hopepunk on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HopepunkA conspiracy of Truths by Alexandra Rowland: https://www.alexandrarowland.net/a-conspiracy-of-truthsDonate to Palestinian Children's Relief Fund::www.pcrf.netDonate to Mutual Aid Funds: https://www.folxhealth.com/library/mutual-aid-fundsGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Hey, Space Monkeys. Have you ever wondered what happened to the earth Oz 9 left behind? I mean, I'm not saying we CAUSED the zombie apocalypse, but the math works out. (Sorry, Sweden) 150 years ago, the zombie apocalypse apocalypted all over the globe, and now there's robots and zombies trying to wipe out what's left of humanity. Cali, a settlement scout, has big dreams but scarce resources who's just trying to stay alive, and Hannah, well, she's trapped in her zombie body, hoping not to eat anyone she actually cares about. Hannahpocalypse is a darkly funny story about love, fear, survival, and self-reliance while also being the podcast most likely to answer the question, do human beings really taste like chicken? It's a love story with sweet characters and queer crushes and the awkwardness that comes with having to communicate your affection while trying not to sprinkle your loved one with oregano. (zombie pro tip: seasoning is a total giveaway) But don't worry — Hannahpocalypse is Hopepunk at its heart, and you'll come away feeling lighter and easier about the coming end times.  Season two is nearly complete, so now's a great time to binge your way through it all on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.  On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fbFOgMYq2oqOYHDfqIuYX?si=4698311878144cb2 Learn more about your ad choices.

Esperant el Cometa #23 - El hopepunk i la fantasia “cozy” (novembre 2024) Durada: 95 minuts. Benvinguts a l'episodi de novembre d'Esperant el Cometa, el podcast dedicat a les novetats de literatura fantàstica en català. Avui hem convidat a la il·lustradora Marina Vidal i a l'autora Isa J. Janis a parlar de dos temes que pel que senten passió: el subgènere “hopepunk” dintre de la ciència-ficció i la fantasia “cozy”, un tipus de fantasia que darrerament està creixent en popularitat. També aprofitarem per parlar amb la Isa de “Rere les esquerdes”, la seva darrera novel·la, publicada a Spècula i molt relacionada amb el “hopepunk”. Per acabar el programa, tenim la nostra secció de ressenyes i la secció d'en Pablo, a la que ens parlarà de l'edició catalana del manga “Uzumaki” i de la seva adaptació a anime. Seguim esperant el Cometa! BSO: Technological Chill Trap, de Abydos Music Veu de les entradetes: Tatiana Dunyó

On this episode of the podcast, Ariel chats with Dr Tanis MacDonald about her upcoming course in winter 2025 on hopepunk. What exactly is so punk about this kind of hope? Can hopepunk even be said to be a genre in its own right, or is it an aesthetic or lens that we can use to think through just why the characters are deciding to have hope in bleak situations? Tune in for recommendations of hopepunk novels (and poetry!), ruminations on political hope, the centrality of relationships and radical empathy to these stories, and more. Plus some academic theories informing the formulations of hope, of course.

We live in a world of information abundance, if you want to believe something you can almost always find evidence for it. Being optimistic then is an active practice, it's about cultivating tools, mental models, and practices to see the positive in the world.In this episode of Hopepunk, we'll give you a toolkit to transform your thinking and become more optimistic. If you leave this episode feeling a little more optimistic, we simply ask that you share it with someone else who could benefit from more optimism in their life.To celebrate the launch of Hopepunk and the spirit of not just talking about a better future but building one, we will donate a meal to someone in need for the first 500 reviews we receive on our podcast.

Hey, look! It’s episode 105 of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick, the podcast about making stuff (mostly writing), finding success as we each define it for ourselves, and staying healthy and sane in the process! This is an interview episode, this time featuring the author Juliet Kemp. From their website: Juliet Kemp (they/them) is a queer, non-binary, writer. They live in London by the river, with their partners, kid, and dog. The first book of their fantasy series, The Deep and Shining Dark, was on the Locus 2018 Recommended Reads list; the fourth and final book, The City Revealed, came out in 2023. They have written several novellas, and their short fiction has appeared in venues including Uncanny, Analog, and Cast of Wonders. They were short-listed for the WSFA Small Press Award in 2020 and 2023 and had a story in the anthology Trans-Galactic Bike Ride, which was Lambda Award shortlisted in 2021. When not writing or child-wrangling, Juliet knits, indulges their fountain pen habit, and tries to fit an ever-increasing number of plants into a microscopic back garden. They can be found on Twitter as @julietk, on Mastodon as @juliet@zirk.us, and on Bluesky as @julietk.bsky.social. Listen to hear us muse on fiction writing as a balm for anxiety, the challenges of defining just what sort of fantasy one has written, the validity of “comfort reads,” reaching the right readers, the benefits of working with a small press, procrastination and uncertainty, and why it’s okay to claim your writing as a priority in your life… and just how to go about actually doing that, too… This episode was recorded on August 19, 2024. The conversation with Juliet Kemp was recorded on February 5, 2024. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode What is Hopepunk? How about Solarpunk? Juliet mentions Greg Egan. I mention “the Killer Bs,” Greg Bear, Greg Benford, and David Brin. An Archive of Our Own is a haven for fan fiction. My Sonitotum episode on how to fix the Amazon bookstore. During the episode, I couldn’t recall the name of a tag-based reading recommendation website. It’s The StoryGraph. Juliet mentions digging the Doctor Who novelizations from the 1980s. I bring up Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan books and the shared world series Wildcards by George R. R. Martin and company. Juliet’s Marek series is published by Elsewhen Press. My oft-recommended choice for a full-screen / no-distractions / plain text editor, Q10, is recommended yet again! Speaking of focus: give Focus At Will a shot. Mechvibes gets another mention. Typewriter sounds for focus and momentum as your write! Big thanks to my Multiversalists patron community, including J. C.

At the same time, AI is expected to solve all our problems and create even bigger ones. There's an almost endless supply of simultaneous fear and excitement surrounding AI. It begs the question, how can we navigate the complex landscape of this disruptive technology? What are we really getting into, and how can we steer it toward a positive future?This week on Hopepunk, join us as we dive deep into the world of AI. We'll uncover the fascinating intricacies of this technology, weigh its risks and rewards, and explore strategies for governing what some might call god-like technology.

There are two stories of climate change, the impending Hollywood-style apocalypse narrative the news spoon feeds us, and the real story of remarkable human ingenuity and scientific progress.Have you ever even imagined a future where we solve climate change? Where every day the world gets a little greener and a little cooler. On this episode of Hopepunk, we get into the incredible progress humanity is making to solve the climate crisis. It's a lot more than you'd think. If you leave this episode feeling a little more optimistic, we simply ask that you share it with someone else who could benefit from more optimism in their life.To celebrate the launch of Hopepunk and the spirit of not just talking about a better future but building one, we will donate a meal to someone in need for the first 500 reviews we receive on our podcast.

See you for the Season 16 premiere on the 6th of May!

What if the coming age of automation and AI was the beginning of a new golden age for humanity?There are a lot of good reasons to be concerned about the impacts of AI and automation. However, what we fail to acknowledge is all the profoundly positive change these new technologies can—and already are bringing—to society.This next wave of automation represents a wholesale revaluing of skills, human connection, and meaningful work. When we change the rules of productivity, we start to renegotiate how society should function. The opportunity this represents can not be understated. If you leave this episode feeling a little more optimistic, we simply ask that you share it with someone else who could benefit from more optimism in their life.To celebrate the launch of Hopepunk and the spirit of not just talking about a better future but building one, we will donate a meal to someone in need for the first 500 reviews we receive on our podcast.
