A little free library came to my mind too—you could even build a platform on the side to share produce from your garden, finding free home-grown veggies people are sharing always fills me with joy

I’ve been happy with Phonograph for queueing, nothing special but it seems very easy to use to me. Looks like tons of good recommendations on this thread I haven’t tried out tho, definitely might be something better out there
What about some tree- or bush-like structures that have lots of small lights, one under each leaf? Having many lights that could all be positioned and angled differently would let you direct the light to only where it’s needed and create a smooth shaddow-free glow. And be pretty too! Like the Cave of Two Lovers @Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone posted. Individual lights could have different color and brightness too.
Depending on the kind of bio-engineering or fantastical biology in your world these could be completely organic, completely manufactured, or some combination like lights attached to trees/vines grown for the purpose.
100% agree! On the politics piece, the scope of things wrong in the world and change needed can be overwhelming, but I find the ‘think global, act local’ philosophy helpful. Find local orgs that are dismantling capitalism or defending the environment or standing up to ICE or whatever you care about and join in. You don’t have to commit right away either, you can just go to an event and see if you like their vibes and you’ll probably hear about other related groups from there and you can check out an event from one of those groups and so on until you find the people you want to work with
