I’m going to try to get a few more pieces done for deep sea December, so here’s day 15 - Gossamer (worm) #art #ocean #deepseadecember

Today I visited the Takeshima Aquarium in Gamagori, which specializes in deep sea animals. I saw giant isopods, spider crabs, deep sea octopus and all kinds of fascinating #invertebrates.

I’m literally one item away from 1500 pieces of art sold this year…

We lost power the other night for long enough that everything in the freezers was totally soft and a loss and folks trashed it all while I was vending. I’d bought some apple blossom pastries to have with my dad before he died & I’d been trying to get myself up to make them. Just realized I can’t.

More excellent tunicate news this morning, with a new preprint from the @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social lab 🤩 This work, led by @olegtolstenkov.bsky.social, describes the fascinating diversity of behaviors displayed by the larvacean Oikopleura throughout its life cycle ⤵️🧪

I love Phronima so much...

Just think this gossamer worm needs a moment again 🐙🦑🐡

Just managed to fumble a nearly four pound container of peanut m&m’s I’d bought because they were my dad’s favorite and it of course flipped so all of them spilled across the floor and under furniture

Remember these baby octos? 🐙🦑🐡 This piece is in memory of my father, Jonathan Fay, who died suddenly in October. He took the astro photo of NGC2244 with his SeeStar. He loved when I'd message him critters I found, & joining me when he could. shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/product/baby...

I cannot control the USPS but I can tell you your window for ordering a package and having it likely arrive by Christmas is beginning to narrow. Get your ocean art in orders ASAP to increase your chances. shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/products

I have such a love/hate relationship with being my own manufacturer.

Going to SICB in January sounds like a really nice break from the everything I am dealing with right now and I wish that it cost an amount of money I could reasonably throw at going. I could maybe do a one day pass and stay with a friend but it’s such a long drive to go down for one day :/

I really want to go nightlighting but it is predicted to start raining as soon as I would be set up and persist moderately until close to when I’d need to leave :/

wake up babe, new taningia observation dropped one of my faves, great piloting by the ROV folks at @schmidtocean.bsky.social

Buying my ocean art is an investment in getting to talk to people about cool marine life. You’ll either have people excitedly recognizing the critters or you’ll have them asking what they are giving you totally solicited opportunities to nerd out. 🦑🐙🐡 shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/products

Where is all my website traffic coming from the last two days? I’m perplexed. It’s from direct links. Is someone talking about me?

I won a thing! I’m so honoured to have won the NBN newcomers award at the @nbntrust.bsky.social conference today, for the work I’m doing around plankton sampling and data collection. #marineplankton 🦑

It is a fundamental truth that if we cannot stabilize a pleasantly habitable state on Earth, we absolutely CANNOT create from scratch a MORE pleasant or habitable existence anywhere else. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Haven’t made it out to the water very much this month with everything but I did hit 100 calendar days nightlighting for the year tonight. Dockfouling is close behind at 96 and tidepooling is at 29. As a whole, I’ve gone out observing 191 days so far and contributed 4,308 observations to iNat.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Everyone wanted to assure me that the government healthcare cuts wouldn’t impact employer health insurance, only those on medicaid. Only for my new job to get rid of their great healthcare plan because their rates are doubling as a result of our governments actions. 🤡

Couldn’t sleep last night so I designed a white lined Dirona beanie and stayed up til it was finished and out of the wash. #nudibranch 🦑🐙🐡
