All right who do I know who's good at logo design/branding? Small budget friendly.

The #DeepWonders science team filmed this chimaera or ghost shark at 1,027 m. @divaamon.bsky.social and a primarily Trinbagonian team of scientists are leading this expedition in Trinidad & Tobago. (Read #PoetryInOcean version here: www.instagram.com/reel/DalKGJZ...)

Me irl but it was a siphonophore 🪼

MBARI researchers recently led an expedition with @schmidtocean.bsky.social that revealed remarkable new hydrothermal vents in a remote part of the Atlantic Ocean, providing important clues about fluid circulation and seafloor geology. Learn more: www.mbari.org/news/expedit...

Narrative game: you play a little guy and they’re special OSR: you play a little guy and they’re not special Wargame: you control little guys and they aren’t special but you spent a lot of time painting them to look special Worldbuilding game: the world is your special little guy

A Sandworm of Dune - based on real beautiful marine polychaetes ☀️

The cool thing about doing your own nails is that no one can stop you from doing a combination dagger and plankton set. Not one person.

Yooo if you need a break from *stuff* come join the livestream of the ROV toodling around the deep sea near Trinidad and Tobago, thanks to @divaamon.bsky.social @schmidtocean.bsky.social et al www.youtube.com/schmidtocean...

Going to see #Journey tonight, so here's your reminder that some deep-sea snailfish live below 8,000 m, in darkness and crushing pressure, just holding on to that feeling. Don't stop believin', even at the bottom of a trench. #marinelife

Seamounts are underwater mountains that support extraordinary marine life and vital ocean health. Yet bottom trawling continues to devastate these fragile ecosystems ❌ This year, the 2026 UN Bottom Fisheries Review can champion a clear, explicit timeline to end bottom trawling.

A precious poof in a sea of snow ❄️🧡🌊⁠ ⁠ Dandelion siphonophores (Dromalia alexandri) are typically found just above the seafloor, where the water is rich in food. They use long, sticky tentacles to anchor themselves in place while other tiny tentacles grab any food drifting in the currents.⁠

I can’t wait to SEE THE PICTURES that will be at this talk! 🤩🪼✨

Work continues on my world building chapter for these guys…

Ok, I’m loving the starter packs! This one is for women (inclusively defined) in Ocean Science. You need more ocean 🌊 in your feed! Follow these folks. If you would like to be added please just let me know 👋 … if I forgot you, please don’t be offended, it was an accident! go.bsky.app/7MdiLgo

Some cnidarian #pride for you 🐡

My design might've changed, but never my view 💜 🎨: @ghostlordvalac.bsky.social (the backbround) and @sewingbear.bsky.social (the jess)

The deep sea remains one of Earth’s least explored habitats, and extraordinary animals like Onykia remind us how much there is still to discover. Questions about how and why some deep-sea species grow to such impressive sizes continue to inspire research, fueling discoveries about life in the ocean.

🐙 Say hello to Inopinoteuthis magna — the big-eyed jellyhead. 🐙 And yes, that common name does makes us suspect someone’s kiddo was in the lab that day! (Special thanks to @jeffday.bsky.social for sharing this species ID when we posted a different view of the animal.) #Doldrums 2,923 m

People Make Games just dropped a new documentary in my favourite genre: "Quinns travels to meet a beautiful maniac who's doing mind-bending game design" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is8N...

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

Love the composition of the whale fall piece!

Terrified of sea monsters? Sea monster curious? Sea monster obsessed?! There’s **five days left** to sign up for my Harvard “Summer School” sea monsters course where we explore mythical sea monsters and also meet real creatures of the deep. I would love to see you there! bit.ly/Summermonsters

a little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by. I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoyed taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

...I should eventually change the placeholder name "Mt. Cozypants," right?

Me: "Shallow-water coral reefs have--" Them: "All coral reefs are shallow, they grow in the sun" Me: YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD

Aaaah I live for this kind of genre mashup stuff

The Bastion Indie Market at UK Games Expo banned crowdfunded tabletop games. StartPlaying statistics show how these grassroots designers build an audience without a massive marketing budget. #ukge2026

Hydrothermal vents are the star of the deep sea worldbuilding chapter I’m working on now!

Just finished reading The Brilliant Abyss by @helenscales.bsky.social after realising I just didn't know enough about hydrothermal vents. Brilliant abyss, brilliant #naturewriting. The deep really is full of wonders, to explore and to defend from predatory extractivist capitalism.

Listen in on scientists finding (and falling for) a new species of octopus now called Microeledone galapagensis. Read more here www.scientificamerican.com/article/tiny...

Oh wow… that’s wild… I’m now looking for a… ✨Black Illustrator that has experience in designing tabletop games✨ Y’all hear that? 👀

i can’t remember all the sites i used (the full list is in the game credits) but i’m pretty sure i got most of them from here ahomeisannounced.com/2025/04/17/b...

Worldbuilding should be the table, the dishes, the ambience, occasionally the waiter. The moment it enters the meal, you've fucked up. Or put in a sane way: your goal as a writer is to tell a story, not explain your world to the reader. A lot of amateur fantasy writers especially get that backwards

My favorite TTRPG classes are: 1. Cripplingly overspecialized wizard 2. “I’m sorry!” 🙈 3. BIG BOI 4. Cripplingly overspecialized rogue 5. Neurodiverse horse

I saw it! It’s incredible!

I’m not in the UK but I’m going to try to participate anyway! 🦀 (though as an US west coaster I will be _tidepooling_ tyvm)

The art of arranging marine algae into designs, bouquets, and even sometimes intricate little scenes, was surprisingly popular in the 19th century. See an album of such pictures by a woman named Eliza A. Jordson here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/album-of-seaweed-pictures-1848

What a great idea! I might make one of these

We're launching #DefendTheDeep Fridays Ahead of World Ocean Day, we're mobilising global pressure for a #DeepSeaMining moratorium. Every Friday, we'll spotlight priority countries and invite supporters to email ministers directly through our advocacy platform.

Loads of people liked our sand tray map pic from Armageddon Auckland—so today we filmed an actual play video so you can see it in action. The players are archeologists exploring an Egyptian tomb. The map gets slowly revealed by brushing the sand away... Such a fun way to introduce Call of Cthulhu!

I'm in this relief bundle, and when I say it is stacked, I mean Rosewood, Perils & Princesses, Footfall, Hotel Dracula, What Should We Have Tomorrow, The Babylon Lottery, Maize Borg, Digital Angel, Rakehell, Under Hill By Water... itch.io/b/3670/typho...

Antarctic Hydrothermal Vents 🤩 by John Meszaros @dilophosaurusbard.bsky.social (the emoji is not part of the title) Won't ruin the surprise, there's even more: johnmeszarosart.com/the-deep/

This poster is ✨so cool✨ - wish I had been on bsky when this event happened 😭🌊

Due to the continued issues with Kickstarter & the recent announcements around censorship, we are announcing the move of @navaarsnp.bsky.social's Soothwardens to @backerkit.com This was a unanimous choice by Navaar & entire team. It means starting from 0 and rebuilding. ttrpg.link/soothwardens 1/3
