My father died suddenly in our home this past Sunday. I am fighting against the overwhelming revulsion I have to asking for financial support to ask for help covering my access to healthcare for the remainder of the year so that I can focus on supporting my mom.

My friend and very dear human, Jamie, lost their Dad unexpectedly this past week.. If you have the means, please consider helping them, no amount is too small. I would also ask that as you move through the world, please mask up and stay home when you are sick if you can.

He was so fucking scared he was going to die before he could retire and that the stress of his job would kill him and he was scared of what would happen to everyone if he did.

And it happened.

They tried for maybe forty minutes. He died in his office. He died working in a stupid project he was supposed to present on Monday for work even though he had Covid. He died right above where I’m sitting in my room trying to figure out what to do.

I cradled his head & told him I loved him and I was here & getting help and I was so sorry as I had to dump him out of his chair because he has a spinal injury & I was scared of hurting him. But I got him on the floor and I did the compressions and his color was coming back & I thought he’d make it

My dad died last night. I think he was dead when we found him but I did compressions until the ambulance arrived and his color was coming back but they just couldn’t get his heart going again. I talked to him an hour before, but he wasn’t answering when I told him I’d made it home with his dinner.

Get vaccinated and wear a fucking mask. And please fucking stay home and rest when you are sick if at all and as much as possible. And do whatever you can to support the people in your lives in doing the same.

A pair of leopard dorids pressed together, likely mating. These two white sea slugs have bumpy bodies with brown spots, yellow rhinophores, and a circle of white fluffy gills.

That’s the idea! I celebrate on both 😊
For next year I am going to set up the iNat project to be on both days - I just set it up too late this year to do that.

Happy Ctenophore day! Its a perfect day to celebrate such a small yet beautifully diverse phyla that comes in a wide array of shapes and colors. #Ctenophoreday

Drawing of various Ctenophore anatomies showing the diversity of the phylum. center/front, top left, and right are lobate ctenophores, center/back is a beroid or nuda ctenophore, center/right is a cydippid or tentacled ctenophore, and bottom/left is a benthic ctenophore

UFOs? A music festival viewed from space? Some sort of rare gem earrings? No, these are "Mnemiopsis leidyi", aka comb jellies! 🧵

Our science photo book The Radiant Sea is out Sept 2nd!!
30 years of research, 10 years of "we should", and a year of collating pix and writing.
Sönke and I show (mostly for the first time) images of how organisms produce, use, and interact with light in the sea. #bioluminescence #fluorescence 🦑🧪🌊

Maybe self-replying for each option and having people like their choice?

Reduces the bias of seeing immediately who picked what (though would still show the # so far).

Also still has the issue of whether replies show or get buried by other engagement & whether folks will click through. 🤷

I also wish bluesky had a native polling option. I am going to abstain on a reply vote since I know definitively.

For CTENOPHORE DAY, a little survey:
Which end of this fishing Pleurobrachia is the mouth on? Please just "vote" in the comments — no definitive answers. 🦑🧪🌊

P.S. this is one of my earliest #ctenophore photos, shot on film in a home-built kreisel.

P.P.S. Legit data-gathering for a future paper.

A spherical comb jelly floating against a dark background, with its tentacles deployed, tentilla (side branches) fanned out. There is a number 1 above the body and number 2 below the body. Photo by S. Haddock taken around 1990.

It’s Ctenophore Day! (‘Cos it’s the 4th of Oct and in the States you’d say it’s 10/04 ten-oh-four ctenophore. See? See?) So here’s a Ctenophore juvenile for #ctenophoreday ! Now the word ctenophore doesn’t make any sense to me, I’ve said it too many times.
