Had a really nice time finding slugs today with @kokolea.bsky.social. Most of them were out of the water and looking blobby but still delightful. Here's a few: Thick Horned Northern Leopard Dorid Clown Hudson's Horned Dorids (maybe, probably Acanthodors at least) #nudibranch πŸ¦‘πŸ™

Ah, low tide, when the resplendent, flowing peacocks of the sea transform into their slimy booger disguises on the shore for a bit πŸ₯°

If you’ve wanted anything from my shop I’d really appreciate your order. This is just one in a list of most of my vital equipment needing service or replacement and the costs are overwhelming on top of everything else.

Well just about my whole net earnings from my market yesterday immediately went to replacing my nightlight. Two minutes in last night some sort of seal failed and it spontaneously internally disassembled from the cord and sank. Really sad and also feel terrible for inadvertently littering.

Happy Pride Month! You know who doesn't change their brand image to rainbow just for June? Ctenophores. They make their gay little rainbows all year. It's a Pride parade in the ocean every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. 366 every four years. πŸ¦‘πŸ™

Embroidered a bunch this past week & most of it is now in my shop, including a restock of this color combo for the kelp crab beanies which I hadn't realized was both my most popular beanie and out of stock for a hot minute. Let me know what else you want re-stocked! shop.noncompliantcyborg.com πŸ¦‘πŸ™πŸ‘

Would there be much interest in me adding my little itty bitty pride flag iron on patches to my website? It's going to be a little logistically messy behind the scenes for me so I want to gauge if there would be actual interest before I do so. They'd be like $4 a piece.

If we're doing ctenophore rainbows for Pride month... here's one from Anilao. I believe it's Leucothea sp. Watching these cruise around in the dark like miniature spaceships was fantastic, except when they run into you and you get a slimy surprise bouncing off your head #MarineLife #Invertebrates

*You* can help these gay little ocean blobs fund queer + trans healthcare by buying my art prints and embroidery that they posed for. How cool is that? πŸ¦‘πŸ™πŸ‘ shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/products

Embroidered 10 beanies today and will get them up in the shop tomorrow. Also tote bags are incoming. I embroidered a few over the last few days. Pics later because I just threw everything in the wash.

In Seattle or NW Washington this month? Come celebrate Pride with me and support local queer art! I’ll be at events in Anacortes and Seattle with my visual art and embroidery, talking about how the ocean is queer.

Making stickers is my least favorite shop task so I don’t do it very often but I am working on it today and have added a few to the shop.

Mx. Tape would be an incredible drag name

Working on an eye splat tote bag. These design collab pieces with Chaotic Happy are always so fun. Love putting together new fabric and thread combos for them.

If you are ever out on Orcas Island you’ve got to go out on the water with Captain Liberty if you can. Had such a fun time yesterday out in the outer islands and finding orcas with her and friends. πŸ¦‘πŸŒŠ

You have FOUR (4) more days to order a Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirt, designed by the lovely and talented @franzanth.bsky.social. In this nightmare of a year, merch is keeping @skypeascientist.bsky.social afloat. Even if you don't order, RT's help so much! Get 'em: squidfacts.bigcartel.com

if you see this, post a monster!

Let me help with that....the ADORABLE FANTASTIC SPECTACULAR...subtle sproing of a sea spider #invertebrates πŸ§ͺπŸ¦‘πŸŒŽ Love it!

There are thousands of sea gooseberries in Budd Inlet right now. The glare was too much to get pics with my phone but worth checking out if you are in the area.

Hi ocean lovers! I'm offering 20% off art prints in my shop through the end of the month with the code "ENDOFMAY". I'm still looking for work and prepping for summer markets is pricey, so your support means the world. Thanks for the shares, purchases, and kind words. πŸ¦‘πŸ™πŸ‘ #bsnm

New shop offering! With the weather warming up, I’ve decided to experiment with making 19” bandanas/light scarves. In the process I also created my favorite piece yet, the Beroe abyssicola bandana. What other designs do you want on bandanas? πŸ¦‘πŸ™πŸ‘ shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/category/ban...

Re-made one of the glow in the dark Dendronotus nudibranch beanies! It's in the shop now. shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/product/dend...

I fear I will have to cancel the EEG and maybe go without the HRT which would be disastrous for my bones, my sleep, my seizures, and MH. Once you stop, they often do not let you start back up again ... ugh.

propaganda we're not falling for: - there's no nature in cities/urban areas - we already know everything about plants & animals - nature photography requires expensive camera equipment - you need a degree to contribute to science - you need to travel far to see interesting species

Throwback to our 2013 research cruise (LMG 13-12) where we found this gigantic ctenophore in a plankton tow near Margaurite Bay on the Peninsula in #Antarctica. πŸ§ͺπŸŒŽπŸ¦‘πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΆπŸ§

So happy with how this new bandana design came out. It’s a Beroe abyssicola based on a photo of the first one I ever saw back in Spring of 2016. I knew when I found the base fabric I had to make it - it looks just like Friday Harbor in Spring. πŸ™πŸ¦‘πŸ‘

I’m all set up on the 1300 Block of Commercial St in Bellingham for the Wonderz Market today. We are open from 11 AM - 4 PM and there is so much local art! Stop by, say hi, and ask me about the Salish Sea! πŸ™πŸ¦‘πŸ‘
