# ROOPHLOCH
=> gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/0/~solderpunk/phlog/announcing-roophloch-2022.txt ROOPHLOCH 2022
Here we are again, writing from the bus. I'm slowly tapping away as I take the 20 minute journey into Reykjavik to meet a friend for coffee. I've not spent time with her in months, so we have much to catch up on.
I like the bus. I never used it in the US. I lived in 16 states but only twice in a town with any substanitial public transit. In neither case did it feel like this, like community. As I sit here there are four children with scooters traveling alone into the city. Perhaps another dozen scattered and talking. I relax into the atmosphere instead of dreading it. I go to see a friend, yo share my community experiences with her and the journey is fitting.

Last night I listened to a talk by Pawel (look up last name later) at my local hackerspace, Hakkavélin, about Solarpunk. It was inspiring, hopeful, and a wake-up to tge possibilities in my own actions. It was also the first introduction to the idea for many of my friends. The thrill of seeing their excitement redoubled my own.

The biggest takeaway for me from the night was the view of community as a protagonist in solarpunk ethos. While there are many other important aspects, that stuck with me. How do I participate in that vision and how am I helping improve my communities?
