@schmidtocean.bsky.social just filmed a beautiful Antarctic glass squid (cranchiid) with hooks on the tentacles. Only two possibilities and one is the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis. Hard to be sure whether arm hooks are present (which would confirm colossal) but the clubs look right!

Happy bday colossal squid! The species was described in 1925 so @deepseapod.com & I did a centenary episode on the @deepseapodcast.bsky.social - www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/056-... 🦑🎉 Gorgeous artwork thanks to Gareth, a guest on our recent #Antarctic voyage with #IntrepidTravel for #ProjectESCA

Hey ocean nerds 🌊 If you love cephalopods like I love cephalopods, I highly recommend @dannastaaf.bsky.social’s excellent book “Monarchs of the Sea: The Extraordinary 500-Million-Year History of Cephalopods” 🐙 🦑 It’s extremely well-written, entertaining, and educational (even if my cat hates it 🤷‍♀️)

The Wunderpus 🐙 (Wunderpus photogenicus) is a master of disguise - It hides in its burrow with six arms while waving the other two like venomous sea snakes 🐍 🎨 Prints available in my shop, link in bio #MolluskMonday #MolluscMonday #WildlifeIllustration #DigitalArt #ArtYear

My beloved @booksinc.bsky.social where I've been lucky enough to launch several books (and where the booksellers are always supportive no matter how weird my costume) could use some help! If you or anyone you know has any interest in books, you can shop online, including gift cards: booksinc.net

The Mondays just seem to keep on coming, ready or not. This week was a busy one but #MolluskMonday has arrived! Here's a quick sketch of a Caribbean reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana). If you're lucky enough to see these in the wild, they'll likely be in a small shoal. #artyear #molluscmonday

Close Inkounter! #ProjectESCA gets its next squiddy visitor, a glacial squid (P. glacialis) around 800m. It gifts us a few puffs of ink, then drifts back into the dark Antarctic #deepsea. #antarcticclimateconnections #PureOceanFund @schmidtocean.bsky.social @deepseapod.com

Super cool observation of a rarely observed deep-sea squid, Alluroteuthis antarcticus. Extra beautiful footage too! @deepseapod.com can we ID the fish prey?

I think we can all agree the vibes are not wonderful. You know what always makes my day better? Getting a cute card in the mail from a friend. I propose that we send valentines this year for vibe enhancement. Skype a Scientist has got just the pack. Get 'em at squidfacts.bigcartel.com

Many of us are really feeling helpless. This feeling is why I started @skypeascientist.bsky.social 8 years ago. We were doing the exact same thing then (currently feels worse?). I have an action you can take today. Tell an educator about our program. Connect kids with science in spite of all this.

How many of Bluesky users are scientists? Part of sharing science, is trying to reach others outside of science. What good is sharing science if we are only talking to ourselves?

The best classroom experiences I ever had were when we had a guest in the classroom who was passionate about a subject. Enthusiasm is contagious!

Danna did such a good job representing a truly underrepresented genus of squids! And yes, I can confirm after a year of looking at brachioteuthis... they do indeed wear little beanies like this :)
