In light of the NYT sitting on Epstein/Trump info for years, today would be a great day to cancel your subscription and subscribe to Brief Ecology instead. We’re a publication dedicated to telling the truth. Just saying 👀

"...the idea behind Rotting Leaf Magazine is to explore the nature-society binary. To break it down and move it and challenge it. That’s the pretentious answer. I could also say that there’s just not enough weird shit getting published so why not some more?"
