A great evening nightlighting with @noncompliantcyborg.bsky.social ! We saw a school of squid fly by, then the seal chasing them (who you can see nabbing a snack in the first clip!). #squid #cephalopods

The Salish Sea is exploding with life right now! Neoturris breviconis off the dock on San Juan Island. #invertebrates #zooplankton

Seattle area folks, come see me this Sunday at Rhubarb Market at The Woodland Theater. I’ll have lots of ocean art, including a re-stock of glow in the dark sea slug patches I’ve been making this week.

HERRING SPAWNED IN SEATTLE!!!! #pugetsound #salishsea

Chiton Smackdown: Mossy, Woody, Hairy! Come learn about these three common intertidal chitons on my new YouTube episode! youtu.be/Gs4j2dfM-qo

I feel deeply in love yesterday with this Olivia’s Sapsucker 🥰🥰🥰 #seaslugs

YES!

A new species for me spotted off the docks in Tacoma, WA: Micronereis nanaimoensis. This female had a BUNCH of males hooked into her back end to stimulate her to lay eggs😱It was SO cool to see! #wormwednesday

Found this cute little barnacle eating dorid with @jensseattle.bsky.social Saturday morning. #nudibranch 🐙🦑

Barnacle eating dorids, containing multitudes✨#nudibranch

Bull kelp mimicking a severed baby doll head😳

Hooded Nudibranch off the dock on San Juan Island last night😍 #nudibranchs

This article in the NYT is everything I needed this morning! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/s...

Some people look forward to spring flowers, I look forward to spring seaweeds!

Finally got around to a new episode on my YouTube channel. Come visit and subscribe www.youtube.com/@intertidalw...

Comfort curl. A polychaete worm from a nice evening out on the dock with @noncompliantcyborg.bsky.social #invertebrates

Perfection from @invertebabe.bsky.social

Swima bombiviridis—because sometimes, the best way to escape oppression is to drop a glowing distraction and peace out. These deep-sea worms eject bioluminescent “bombs” to confuse predators while they make a clean getaway. Resistance, but make it ✨dramatic✨. 🌊🪱 #WormWednesday #DeepSea #Marinelife

Sometimes I have a hard time remembering the scientific names of things. I always think of this tunicate as the Chloë Sevigny (Ciona savignyi).

Beautiful work by @kellybrenner.bsky.social !

Another beautiful work of art from @noncompliantcyborg.bsky.social

Well kids, we're losing the information war, huh? Wanna spread your message in the public space, but don't know where to start? C'mere, I'll teach you. Join me online March 3rd at 8pm Eastern for a intro to street art. We'll cover stickering & wheatpasting! RSVP here for the link: lu.ma/53ks8h33

youtu.be/uxqD-59aEgE?... Did you know I have a YouTube channel? Looking forward to dropping some new episodes soon!

I had missed the original ask with some interview questions and @inaturalist.bsky.social very kindly allowed me to reply a little late! www.inaturalist.org/blog/106405-...

Love letter from the Salish Sea- this moonglow anemone had hearts on their tentacles. #invertebrates
