There are so many reasons to not shop Amazon if you can help it, but it turns my stomach whenever I see authors advertising Amazon and Audible sales. Stop feeding the thing that’s eating us. Fuck Amazon. Get your books indie or from libraries.

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Digital illustration of a woman with moth wings standing on the yard of a sailing ship, somewhat leaning against the mast. She faces away from the camera towards a lighthouse off into the distance. She holds a rope in one hand, posed as if she just landed on the top yard. She has dark brown hair pulled into a braid, loose fitting, light clothing, and a dark belt tied around her waist with a knife tucked in it. The background is not to the edges of the page; two strips of the paper sit on either side. However the ship’s mast and character go to the edges of the page. The background is of the ocean and a cliffside with a lighthouse, the sun setting behind it. A watermark shaped like an oak leaf reading “LEAVES AND INKS” is in the bottom right corner.

I predicted them in my spino painting from last year 😻

Cropped version of a painting, focusing on the heads of the two Spinosaurus and the sky.

Alt for original: In the morning, two male Spinosaurus emerge from the water into a burnt mangrove forest of Weichselia reticulata, small crabs crawl around their feet, while Anhanguerid pterosaurs investigate from the sky far away. The sun is a soft red against a greyish blue sky due to the smoke from a forest fire, smoke can still be seen arising from the distant landscape.

QRP with your skull art! 💀

Sketchbook page of a velociraptor skull, ginkgo and fern leaves, a fossilized velociraptor claw, and a feathered velociraptor. The page is done in various colors of ink, the subjects being in black and sepia liners, while the background is made up of blue and green squares and rectangles, overlapping behind the subjects. In the top right is a velociraptor skull, facing 3/4 right and down. Its mouth is slightly open, and it is missing some teeth. It is also missing it bony eye supports. it overlaps the background shapes on the top left of the skull, along with the lower jaw, and bridges the gap between the two top shapes in the middle of the skull. Next to it on the righthand side is the gingko leaves and fern leaf. It is laid out vertically The top gingko leaf overlapping the bottom one, pointing in slightly different directions. The leaves break the shape on the top, right side, and bottom, and only overlaps the one square. In the bottom left corner is a shaded study of a velociraptor claw fossil. It only overlaps the lower square at its tip, which points left. The final drawing is a mostly full body sketch of a feathered velociraptor, cropped only at its tail, which fades out to the left side of the page. It its a side view of the raptor, who faces right. However, it looks over its shoulder to the left of the page. It is slightly hunched over, its arms lowered. The left arm reaches slightly more out than the right one, and it also steps forward with the left leg. It has a black and sepia brindle pattern on its back, along with a black stripe that starts at its eye and goes to its tail. Its body overlaps on top of the two bottom shapes. The sketch and background shapes are on an off-white, paper textured background

Daily bunny no.3235 will get there eventually

Two bunnies ride on the shell of an enormous snail, as it makes its way through a patch of mushrooms in the fall. The mushrooms and plants around them are also giant, so it's possible that the bunnies are just tiny and everything else is normal size
