#Representative

[solarpunkmagazine]

We are proud of our community and remain determined to platform voices of the marginalized around the world. Solarpunk Magazine stands stalwart alongside thousands of other small and large initiatives against an increasingly fascist, militaristic, genocidal United States paradigm.

We reject and abhor Trump’s divisive and dehumanizing rhetoric. We recognize it as an effort to sow division within our populations. Demanding a nation built on genocide, imperialism, and slavery to divorce itself from its principles is a steep order, and yet demand we must.

There are many ways to become more informed or involved politically (and you don’t need to be a US citizen to write to Congress!). Here is information regarding contacting one’s representative as a starting point for those who live in the USA: https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/sites/default/files/2023-05/CVC_CraftVideo_FollowAlong_Letters.pdf

Caring for our community has and will continue to be the most important form of advocacy we as people can exercise. Please check in with your loved ones. Use any privilege you might hold as a platform for action: donate time and money to food outreach; vote in local elections; attend a lecture on climate injustice; read scholarship by marginalized academics; show your child how wonderful a spider is; become inspired.

In solidarity!

How the TNG crew deals with automated systems

Picard: sighs, rolls his eyes, and listens to the list, immediately pressing the appropriate number when it's listed

Riker: listens a bit then calmly says "Representative"

Data: patiently listens to the entire menu just to make sure he's choosing the right option for his needs (and so as not to interrupt)

Geordi: presses the appropriate number as soon as the system picks up and input would be recognized (this ain't his first rodeo)

Troi: hangs up. Asks someone else to do it. Orders chocolate.

Crusher: just gets Wesley to fix it

Worf: (grumbles) Representative. [I'm sorry. I didnt get that could you repeat it?] (Angry huff) Representative. [I'm sorry. I didn't get that could you repeat it?] REPRESENTATIVE!! [I'm sorry--] (loud angry yell, crash, call to maintenance to fix his comm system)

Bonus characters:

Lore: immediately orders "REP-RE-SEN-TA-TIVE!"

Q: Snaps his fingers to get what he wants (but the call gives him a ✨ marvelous ✨ idea on a new game to torment Jean-luc with)

"This election is the best example of why y'all are so afraid of diversity, equity and inclusion, because then you can't have a simple-minded, under-qualified white man somehow end up ascending. Instead, you gotta pay attention to the qualified black woman that is on the other side."

Jesus Christ – God's perfect and exact representation: Jesus Christ is therefore the full disclosure of the divine being. He holds transcendence and immanence together.
