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!!

Squid mermaids/ cecaelians for Squidtember. I tried to go for a different type of design than I usually would, & I think they turned out pretty cute.

Psst... #Squidtember starts Friday.
It's time to start thinking about how YOU are going to celebrate this month-long festival of squid.
Here are some appropriate ways to celebrate:
🦑 Text a friend a squid fact
🦑 Mail a friend some squid art
🦑 Wear your favorite squid shirt
🦑 Make some squid shaped origami
Feeling artsy?
🦑 Make a doodle of a squid and share it with people
🦑 Write a squid fact with your best doodle on the white board in your classroom/office
Feeling neighborly?
🦑 Celebrate by hanging a sign in your window with your favorite squid -
🦑 Go to the park and write a squid poem on the sidewalk
Feeling metal?
🦑 Get a squid tattoo (or maybe just doodle one on with a pen that's ok too)
🦑 Slap a squid sticker on a bathroom wall
How are YOU going to celebrate?

Cepho fact #09
Using jet-propulsion some squids in the Ommastrephidae family are able to launch themselves out of the water. By a combination of this jet-propulsion and spreading their arms and fins they are able to glide for long distances.
This diagram shows the steps taken in order for these squid to "fly". Launching: (a , a') The squid breaks the surface using jet propulsion, and pull in their arms and fins. Jetting: (b , b') The squid spread their arms and fins and keep jetting until their mantle is exhausted. Gliding: (c , c') The squid keeps their arms and fins spread as they glide through the air. Diving: (d , d') The squid pulls in their arms and fins as the re-enter the water.

Long time no squid! I exist! I am just busy.
Dad’s memorial was beautiful. I am thrilled with how it turned out and so proud of myself for putting it together with a minimum of crazy. It was so hard and so stressful, but I feel like I’ve done my duty as a daughter and there’s a sense of peace and satisfaction that comes from that. It was important that we all have a space to come together and share in his his memory, and everyone said it was perfect.
Next week would be their 44th anniversary. I’m going to go up and either drag Mom to a plant store as a distraction or just sit and exist with her. I’m learning that grief comes in two forms: the Big Grief, like holidays, birthdays and anniversaries, where Dad’s absence is like a gaping hole in the festivities; and all the little griefs, like when I was digging in my craft supplies for a thank-you card and found a blank Father’s Day card tucked beside it. It’s never going to stop hurting because he’s never going to stop being gone, but I think it’s getting easier.
No reports yet on the novel querying. I’ve got two agents looking at the full manuscript, but apparently summer is well-deserved vacation time and I have not expected nor received responses. I’m weirdly calm about this. I’ve got another project I pulled out of storage and am excited about, so that’s been a good distraction from the constant oh god oh god will they like me what if they hate me please love me refrain that will otherwise be on loop.
AND APPARENTLY WE’RE GOING TO JAPAN???? Maybe possibly potentially, if the visas come through. My cousin and his new wife have been postponing and postponing and postponing a western-style ceremony until covid restrictions relax, and things are starting to look possible. We’d be visiting in November, so anything can happen between now and then, but I’ve got all the fingers and toes crossed. It’s wildly out of my comfort zone even without the covid situation, but Dad worked in Asia for years and always promised Mom that once he retired, they’d take a trip together. She isn’t a traveler, so Husbandthing and I and my sister and her wife are all surrounding her to make sure that we deliver on Dad’s promise. I’m terrified and excited and if anyone has any recommendations for things to do in Osaka, I’d love to hear them.
Whew. Sorry about the novel of an update. I’ve been popping in and out of tumblr and will try and be more present now that I’m not wrangling a giant memorial. I love you all and hope you’re taking care of yourselves as best you can. <3

hey im sorry if u dont know her thing anymore but do you know who the lady on iNat is? i'd love to see her multiple observations^^"
YES she is beartracker and she is literally in the top 250 observers worldwide. she hit 27k total observations in the time that post has been up! she is a RIGOROUS observer, probably one of the top experts in scat/track identification in Northern California at the absolute least.
I don’t Know Her so take this with a grain of salt but I assume she lives on/owns the plot of land in that bend of the river - the observation density there is like… beyond description. I assume she has a long term underwater camera, maybe one that’s motion activated a la trail cams, and her uploading like a hundred minnows at once was her going through the camera logs rather than, as i had initially assumed, reporting each minnow she saw in a short time period. (Kim Cabrera my queen I am so sorry I misunderstood you)
#inaturalist adventures#asks#saferwaters#its also important to note that the picture there is filtered to JUST that species.#its like a single drop of water in the ocean of her innumerable observations#ANYWAYS happy squidtember to all marine biology enthusiasts and also california bioblitz starts tomorrow <3#marine
