This mushroom decayed into a weird gothic version of my great-grandmother’s lamp.

Maybe fitting for Halloween, but today for #BlackFridayNature

A weird large blackened mushroom with the gills hanging down like the fringe on one of those classic lampshades. It’s standing between fallen leaves in a beech forest.

my new #sciart for @chistinesd.bsky.social: her research in @newphyt.bsky.social reveals arbuscular mycorrhizae in the stem of the early plant Aglaophyton from 407 million years ago, showing that fungal-plant symbioses are as old as the earliest soils. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

For the first time, scientists have documented an unusual defense: Some species of arachnids build giant doppelgängers on their webs, creating a frightening deception that scares off would-be killers. https://scim.ag/487Myn0

Mainstream palaeoart often seems lily-white in terms of the diversity of its contributors. But pieces of palaeoart that rank among the -MOST SEEN- works in the entire field were examples of black craftsmanship. This week came news on the passing of Garfield G. Minott (1966-2025)... cont

I'm back in #zines (after a 40-year hiatus)!
It's my personal #activism against #AI #scraping of #artists: #AI and #llm can't fold paper / have fun with silly stuff like a moss caressing alien.
And I'm fascinated by the modern forms and the possibilities of #storytelling.
#sciComm #writer #solarpunk
two pages of paper showing a tiny section of preparations for a zine. One is the prototype with drawings in colour showing a frog-like green alien, smiling, the word 'reconnection'. On top of that is a sheet of paper with pencil sketches, featuring many of these aliens. This will be coloured in later and then scanned.

A Cartoonist Finds Hope Amid the Apocalypse(s)

In two powerful new graphic novels, @pkuper.bsky.social tackles climate change, disappearing insects, and other tough environmental topics — but gives us reasons to avoid despair.

Good that Canada joins coalition to fight against climate disinformation (so maybe don't weaken greenwashing law?) www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...
Countries commit to tackling climate disinformation at COP30
It is the first time states have formally committed to information integrity and fighting back against climate disinformation.

I will never get tired of trying to infinitely inch closer to hummingbirds

I have a few food spots around county where the birds simply ignore me and go about their business

I will watched this male over a period of 20 minutes as I repositioned my self closer and closer…

I witness my students undergo major transformations as they learn to see past the basic ways their sense of the world has been framed by human exceptionalism. As the wool is pulled from their eyes, they come to experience Nature as more alive, animate, and aware. (1/2)

Wenn Friedrich Merz sich auch nur ansatzweise interessieren würde dafür, was gut für meine Töchter ist, nähme er die Klimakrise ernst, würde den Verbrennungsmotor in Rente schicken, Überreiche fair besteuern und nie mehr AfD-Parolen nachbellen.
