As frequently as we post about our fun, friendly, fantastic rabbit, this post from @houserabbit.bsky.social is spot on: While they're wonderful, rabbits aren't for everyone. Their care requires a LOT of work. And bringing a rabbit into your home is a decade + commitment.

Sea Monsters I've talked before about the genre debt that science fiction owes to adventure fiction, and the sea is a big example. It's the "outer space" from before outer space became outer space: Unknowable, end...

Apparently @70sscifiart.bsky.social knew just what I needed to get through the Monday afternoon lull: sea monsters: 70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io/sea-monsters/

A journal recently asked me to supply some older photos. I discovered most of the pics in which I appear either feature me attached to some medical apparatus or with something odd on my head. Here I have lured @robrenzetti.bsky.social into joining me in the odd-things-on-heads lifestyle:

Spaying and neutering is important even if you only have just one rabbit without any bunny-buddies. Spaying protects against uterine cancer and neutering helps with territorial spraying.

I'm glad you posted this because 1. It's great 2. I used to I think you were posed in front of a rollercoaster (as in, Artist in front of Metaphor)
