Solarpunk is inherently optimistic and envisions the future I would want to live in.

Queer Books with Disabled Characters
July is Disability Pride Month! Here's a big pile of books with disabled characters. All the books also have at least one queer character, and in most cases, the queer character and the disabled character are one and the same. (There are a few non-fiction titles in the mix as well; representation for queerness may be subtext/interpreted). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Polyesque Vibes
Books of the polyamorous sort. Haven't read all of them so I could be wrong on some. Some of these are set in non-monogamous cultures even if the protagonists themselves are not engaging in romance or polyamory.
Big thanks to AthenatheStorier who often finds and recommends these books through instagram or tiktok videos!
Also if you're a lover of polyamorous stories of any kind/medium, let me know. I want to co-write a collaborative analysis of polyamorous stories and you could help!

Nature may play a small but important role in some worlds or serve as the main point of a scary situation in others. Feel free to recommend books that you feel honor The Green.
