the bomber sequence was my white whale, i saw it randomly on MTV's liquid television without any accompanying information back in the 90's. finally figured it out a couple years back. something about zombies chasing after you in a WWII era bomber flying through space apparently captivated young me.

The #ArgentinianDeepSeeps team completed 1st comprehensive study of Argentina’s cold seeps. Their goal: to understand how the animal communities live and interact with localized physical, geological, and chemical conditions as well as with surrounding deep-sea ecosystems.

Everything is really scary and horrible, and on the utter flipside, we made these really adorable valentines.

The dissonance of seeing horror, then posting "hey buy some cute valentines" is making me feel loopy.

But also nice things persist despite terror? Ugh idk.

thanks to @mossworm.bsky.social i am unable to think of the mariana snailfish as something other than 'bibby'
The deepest confirmed fish observation occurred at ~8,300 m. I know the shape behind it is another fish’s tail, but my brain insists it looks like the foreground fish is wearing a party hat. #deepsea #marinelife
