I hate the term “boho”. It is the fucking worst.

People use because they want to use a racial slur and don’t want to say what they really mean aka “hippie”.

Boho is a shortening of Bohemian, which in turn is part of a long standing conflation of the Roma with Czechs aka the racial slur. Ugh!

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
