Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

This amber bear figurine was found in Słupsk (Poland) during peat mining in 1887. It is thought to be roughly 3,000 years old, dated to the Mesolithic or Proto-Neolithic period. It is rare to find figurines from that period, and even more entirely out of amber! And it is an adorable little guy.

📚🪐 #currentlyreading — Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky. A reread of one of my favourite books in preparation for the fourth in the series, which released a couple of weeks ago. I still haven't read the third. 💙📚👀 #books #booksky #amreading
A book cover. The background is a dark space-scape, black dotted with tiny white stars. A vibrant, mossy-green planet is in the top left. A grey space ship is in the bottom right. A burst of light emerges from the planet, seeming to target the ship with cyan bokeh and lens flares. It is illuminated, but not damaged.

An award badge is positioned under the right side of the author's name. It's black with a gold border, and a stylised design near the bottom resembling a pen nib, ship, or road. It reads:

science fiction Winner book of the year
The Arthur C. Clarke Award
In association with
SFX

Text, from top to bottom, reads:

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤
illustration inspired by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 1891 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" depicting a woman touching sickly yellow torn wallpaper on a wall while shadowy hands reach toward her. There is another tall shadow of a figure on the wall and both figures look toward the viewer.

📚🪐 #currentlyreading — Absolution, by Jeff VanderMeer. "Once, the story went, there had been biologists on the Forgotten Coast, in numbers so great that the ground shook in the aftermath of their passage." 💙📚👀 #books #booksky #amreading
A book cover. The background is black. The image in the centre is of a faintly abstract crocodilian; it is a dark but vibrant green, with partial moss-like patches of iridescence. A few flowers are around it, with yellow-orange petals and dark brown centres.

The text, also iridescent, from top to bottom reads:

Green Rock Posy Lichen (Rhizoplaca melanopthalm). NWT, Canada. Lichen is about 2cm, left to right. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends.
Photo of a light grey lichen growing on yellowish rock. The lichen is roundish and of a mound shape. The main body is comprised of convoluted folds and branches. Round discs of varying sizes (called apothecia) cover about 50% of the lichen.

Hello, I'm a woodcarver, and this what I do ✌️ You can help me a lot by sharing my work, so people can buy or commission me sculptures. Praying for octopus blessings on your life 🐙🙏
4 pictures of différents woodcarvings

Top left : Woodcarved humanoid octopus wearing a robe, arms wide open, in front of a book standing on branches. On the book, a frog. On the right arm, a kinfisher, and on the top of the head of the octopus, a round duck. The base is burn, on that angle it is not really obvious but is water with a slight wave form arround the octopus. On the background, an old door with old white paint.

Top right : Woodcarved creature (Siren Head) with very long skeletal arms and legs, also too many ribs. Its head is a pole with two speakers and wires. Those speakers have teeth. On the highest speaker, a nest with a pigeon. Siren Head is extending its left arm, point a finger forward. A pigeon sits on its index. Caption says "Based on Siren Head by Trevor Henderson"

Bottom left : Woodcarved humanoid goose wearing plate armour. She's holding a shield and a flanged mace. On the handle of the mace, a red robin landed. The eyes of the goose are made of glass. The feet and the beak are painted in burnt yellow, as the breast of the red robin. The upper part of the robin is painted in brown/grey  and its eyes and beak in black.

Bottom right : Woodcarved humanoid crow wearing a hooded cloak, shoulder armor. It has its right hand on a sword. A squirrel is climbing its left arm. On the base, a cat is resting.

📚🩸 #currentlyreading — Bunny, by Mona Awad. "We call them Bunnies because that is what they call each other. Seriously. Bunny." 💙📚👀 #books #booksky #amreading
A book cover. The background is a hot, eye-burning pink. A cute rabbit is sitting in the centre, its head titled slightly upwards, ears upright but relaxed. It is black and grainy, like an image from an old newspaper.

The title, Bunny, overlays the rabbit in bright yellow hand-lettering. The author's name, Mona Awad, is in the same yellow and font at the bottom. Small black text in the same font reads, from the top down:

'O Bunny, you are sooo genius!'

Moss tussocks with reindeer lichen on a cliff. In the summer the south facing bluff is xeric and bakes in the sun and wind, but right now the stone seeps with water from the forest slope above, and swells with rain as the atmospheric rivers roll through. #moss #bryophytes #lichen #fungifriends
Acid green big soft moss tufts and grey reindeer lichen (Cladonia) mounds protrude from a darker green moss and lichen patchwork coating the cliff face, with a few liverworts, invasive grasses, and quite a few red leaved Herb Roberts (the invasive european geranium) barging in. There is also a villainous himalayan blackberry shoot in the middle right side that stabbed me with its prickle as I sidled up the scree at the base of the cliff to take this photo.

📖 #currentlyreading — Pearl, by Josh Malerman. "Sing for me. Sing for Pearl." 💙📚👀 #books #booksky #amreading
A book cover. The background is turquoise, slightly paler towards the centre. A grainy stripe of what appears to be a hedge sits behind the centre image: a simple farmhouse, one window glowing with light, stairs leading to a darkened front door. Root- or intestine-like tendrils hang from the bottom of the house. The text at the top reads:

'Mesmerising, terrifying'
Clive Barker

The title Pearl is in blade-like letters underneath the blurb.

The text at the bottom reads:

Constable Earstripe. I’m currently reading the „Saint of Steel“ series by T. Kingfisher. It has romance, hilarity, absurdity, horror, and badgerfolk, a.k.a. gnoles! I’m also working on a gouache brushset for Procreate, which this was made with. =)
