I'm a squid biologist on a mission

To bring squid facts to you. To your friends. To your neighbors. To some random dude named Brad who you've never met.

How? The Squid Facts Project. It's a street art campaign and hotline that texts folks squid facts!

Only snag in this hair-brained plan is that texting people is kiiinda expensive. So! I teamed up with Philly artist Corey Danks to sell shirts to keep the hotline running. Every one of those shirt dollars helps deliver squid facts to people.

Like, over 70,000 people over the last year!!! Isn't that wild?

So anyway. Get a shirt. They're cool, *and* they keep people learning about squid. It's a beautiful thing.

Also, the backs have the squid facts hotline on them so by wearing these you're helping people learn about squid too.

If you can't buy one, give us a reblog. I run a small science education nonprofit called Skype a Scientist, we're scrappy but trying so hard!!

Found this with no context on my phone

Just "photo taken on April 19, 2022 at 8:22 PM." No clues from any of the surrounding pictures. The previous one is me documenting the existence of my grandfather's stuffed pheasant before we get rid of it when we move and the one after it is a 13 second clip of me dumping a bag down our apartment's trash-chute and listening to it fall down all eight floors into the basement.

So I text the number and...

IT WORKED I GOT A SQUID FACT

This made my 3-in-the-morning, thank you Squid Fact Hotline, I didn't actually know that second fact about how tiny pygmy squids are.

#Squid Facts #It turns out it was just a screencap of a reddit post and not me actually photographing the squidmobile in traffic #but who cares #marine biology #is cool

Hi guys! I’m new here, figured I’d make an introductory post.

My name is Squid A. Apollyon, but you can call me Squid. I’m a digital artist who is learning to animate random crap.

Organization issues everywhere

I like a lot of stuff. Topics ranging from space all the way to Fnaf. I play Minecraft as a pastime. I love drawing and writing, especially essays and argumentative writing.

I should probably be connecting the dots on these things about me, but nah, I’d rather listen to Porter Robinson (W MUSIC) and go on Pixilart.com to socialize with my space cult.

Speaking of that, it’s time for SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION!!! :3

YouTube: @/five-nights-at-squids

Pixilart: @/proximaC

Discord Server invite: https://discord.gg/yFREr6Y9Vj

My father is @/professional-termite

Idk any of my other family on here but trust me irl they exist in my friends discord trust ._. I HAVE COMPANIONSHIP IN MY LIFE IM NOT A SAD LITTLE LONELY RAT I SWEAR

anyway moving on

Yeah that’s it byeeeeeeee

Bisexuality is common in some species of squids.

My husband and I got each other science-y advent calendars this year. I got him the Squid Facts scratch-off calendar (thanks, @sarahmackattack!) and he got me a shiny rock advent calendar, because I am part corvid and love shiny rocks.

It’s getting super science-y up in this joint. Squidvent and Rockvent!

#advent calendars #squidvent calendar!#squid facts #oh god I love shiny rocks so much #none more nerdy

I'm a squid biologist on a mission. To teach everyone about squid.

Even you.

Especially you.

Want squid facts? I have you covered. I have a squid facts hotline, 1-833-SCI-TEXT. Text SQUID to that number (1-833-724-8398), and it'll send you squid facts aplenty.

I have even created an advent calendar for you to learn squid facts throughout December. It's an 11 by 14 inch scratchy lottery, but instead of taking a chance at winning money, you are guaranteed to learn about squid.

I have a street art campaign to bring squid facts to the people. You might see wheatpastes (like the squid below) if you live in Philly, Boston, Austin, or New York, or stickers if you live in hundreds of other cities and towns across North America.

When you buy a calendar, you're supporting my undying mission to bring squid to everyone. Did you know that squid have donut shaped brains? That their class, cephalopods, have been on earth for longer than TREES? That scientists estimate that there are literally millions of giant squid living in the deep sea?

People deserve to know about squid. Help me spread the word.
