Unrelated to the actual substance of the writing, I was completely mystified by this passage:
> In truth, solarpunk is functional AF. The primary colors of its aura are red, orange, and yellow: Courageously compassionate, creatively scientific, and awakened interdependence. In many ways, it can be more rigorous than so-called “hard science fiction.” Don’t @ the messenger;
I know science fiction is often shortened to SF but I don't know what AF is. The aura bit is completely baffling to me and seems like a non-sequitur, and the last sentence has a @ that I thought was a typo but I'm guessing maybe it wasn't.
I feel like I'm not the intended audience here, despite enjoying science fiction.
- corry 6y agoAF = “as fuck”; the @ is used in reference to a direct message/mention or tweet - like “don’t tweet at me about this bro”.
- greenonions 6y agoI believe AF is commonly short for "as fuck". Also, "don't @" used here is something along the lines of "don't tag me in a post calling me out for my opinion". As for auras, I'm as lost as you.
