#PoetryInOcean: “I speak of underneathedness...
I speak for the damselfly, water skeet, mollusk,
the caterpillar, the beetle, the spider, the ant.
I speak from a time before spinelessness was frowned upon.”
Camille T. Dungy’s poetry seemed a lovely way to celebrate tiny marvels in the midwater.

It is extremely cool and good that trans people exist.

The artist with the painting

A painting of a magic whale, twirling through the sky, leaving a trail of magic behind it. Below it is a group of people shooting fireworks and celebrating!

The Magic card "Spectacular Skywhale"

Spectacular Skywhale - painted for Magic: The Gathering's "Secrets of Strixhaven".
I love getting to paint large celestial beings and little tiny people, so this illustration was a real joy for me. I wanted it to feel as whimsical and freeing as possible, as though you're dancing with the whale.

The cecropia moth is absolutely stunning . www.nwf.org/Educational-... 😍

Freshwater fish populations plunge 81% as river migrations collapse A sweeping global report finds that migratory freshwater fish are in steep decline, with populations down roughly 81% since 1970. These species depend on long, connected rivers, but dams and human pre...

“migratory freshwater fish populations have declined by about 81% worldwide since 1970”

I was born in 1976 but basically think my generation’s lifespan will have bridged an irreversible transition b/t relatively stable earth systems & whatever beleaguered and chaotic dwindling comes next

Description of a collaborative sperm whale birth and shifts in coda vocal styles during key events - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Description of a collaborative sperm whale birth and shifts in coda vocal styles during key events

BBC NewsHour just had a thrilling report on this case of sperm whales collectively assisting a birth — a scene like nothing observed before in species other than human — behavior most nearly described 175 yrs ago by Melville in The Grand Armada chapter of Moby Dick.

Marty’s photo of the day #5001: This is a blue-chin parrotfish, and it grows to 30 inches in length. Like all parrotfish, it has two sets of teeth. The first set is fused into a beak that allows it to crush coral to feed on algae. The second set is in its throat, which grinds up the ingested coral to be excreted as sand. Yes, sandy tropical beaches are largely parrotfish poop. (Photographed last month in the Galapagos Islands.)

Another chobitsona, this time for adorable @mjoo.bsky.social - android babe in cargo 🧋

Youthful antics predict lifespan — at least for these fish Activity levels and daytime sleepiness can be combined into a ‘behavioural clock’ that predicts whether a fish will have a short life or a long one.

would ask for that cuddlepile on separate pic? pretty please?

commissioned the GOAT @elmrealm.bsky.social

Lionfish are highly invasive. Native to the Indo-Pacific, they were introduced to Western Atlantic & Caribbean (likely via the aquarium trade) and have no natural predators, causing severe ecological damage by rapidly consuming native reef fish and disrupting ecosystems.

yall agree?

coffee or tea and what kind?

here's my takeaway on Slay the Princess

A larval Macrourid sighting at 917 m! ROV pilots filmed future-fish during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition, supported @schmidtsciences.bsky.social. Scientists are studying midwater organisms and how they sequester carbon.

An image of three blunt-headed fish approaching a camera on a brown muddy seafloor. One is very close to the camera, meaning it is subject to a slight fish-eye distortion. They look intimidating. Credit: UWA Minderoo

The same image, with the contrast slightly cranked up so the colours pop. A Parental Advisory sticker has been added (as was the style at the time) and the letters PAP and "Straight Outta Benthos" have been added to the image in the manner of the famous NWA Album Cover

Found this great image of Bassozetus (a genus of cusk eel widespread in the deep sea, including at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain) where they look like a 90s Rap Group and I simply couldn't move on to any more important work until My Vision was completed.
