Mycelial Politics: Radical Ecology & Renewal in the Anthropocene “Drawing on radical ecology, Indigenous theory, and mycology, this paper develops mycelial politics—an ecological metaphor grounded in fungal processes of decomposition, interspecies linkage, and renewal. By modeling political networks on fungal hyphae, one may envision a dialectical process that concomitantly breaks down and decomposes anti-ecological structures as it reconstitutes them into life-affirming forms. This framework highlights circular, post-scarcity economics and interspecies mutual aid, pointing toward a post-capitalist transition where communities regenerate damaged environments and redistribute resources and power in non-hierarchical and liberatory networks.” #solarpunk #postscarcity https://www.wpsanet.org/papers/docs/WPSA%202025%20Conference%20Paper.pdf

The sun's poles have flipped. “While a normal magnet has clear north and south poles, both of the sun's poles occupy the bottom now.” Seems like something so huge should affect earth… #science

The sun's poles have flipped. A spacecraft is watching what happens next.

The Solar Orbiter has taken the first image of the sun's south pole region.
