Awesome.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the hideous ubiquity of AI slop I strongly recommend looking at breathtaking art that predates the written word and crying at the enduring beauty of human creativity for a bit. Plagues, wars and ice ages haven't stopped us, neither will robots who suck at painting.

First it was MÖRK. Then came the CY_BORGs and the PIRATEs. Now, rabbits take the apocalyptic stage in Bunny Borg from @bunny-borg.bsky.social. Find out more in our Meeple Mountain review. www.meeplemountain.com/reviews/bunn... #BoardGames 4/5 ★

Done right, many cemeteries can serve as more than a repository for our dead. As Karen Mockler reports, they can also provide vital habitat for plants and wildlife — even endangered species. https://therevelator.org/cemeteries-protect-the-wild/

"We read 'simple' instructional manuals playfully too, even those that aim for precision. To play D&D is to accept a devil's bargain at many tables, an acceptance of numerous, precise rules that govern not only characters but physical laws. This bargain enables ..." (1 of 2) 👇

When environmental educator Mona Shomali submitted this essay about the misuse of "survival of the fittest" to us at @therevelator.org, I couldn't wait to share it with our readers... Capitalism Loves Competition. Nature Has Other Ideas. therevelator.org/social-darwi...

I originally invited conservation photographer @chasingbugs.com to write this for the @sejorg.bsky.social magazine, but I thought it deserved an even bigger audience, so I'm republishing in on @therevelator.org today: therevelator.org/write-about-...

#sketchaday #artsky #blueskyart #art #hares #stars #starhare The Mid-Autumn Festivals of China inspired this Hare, through the Jade Rabbit. I wanted to make a Pride-themed Star Hare.

#flowerhares #firstandlast #learning #art #artsky The nice thing about repeating an idea is exploring all the possibilities. Could it be… PRACTICE? 😀😃😂 Nah, that’s nonsense, I tell you, nonsense! 😜😆💜 (First in the style I use now, and the most recent.)

It's here! Roadkill is out in the world. I can't in good conscience recommend it to all readers. A sad and angry book. 90% of the animal characters are dead at the outset & the humans don't fare much better. But if you're in the mood for an unconventional eco-horror experience, links in comments!
