This month I read Midnight Taxi by Yosha Gunasekera, coming Feb 2026.
MC: lady taxi driver. Victim stabbed in back of cab. Enjoyed: classic murder mystery elements, podcast references, relatable characters, focus on immigrant experience, timely issues. Solid read.

When Arsenal need a clutch moment, Leandro Trossard is normally the player to come up with something.

Unfortunately it wasn’t enough yesterday, but this season he’s been on top form.

Long may it continue. 🇧🇪

As you sit at your next fancy #brunch,
When you start cracking legs that go "crunch,"
Remember you have
That dungenous crab
From the deep sea, as you happily munch.

If you want to visit the deep sea,
Remember that it's super #chilly.
So best pack a coat
(That will sink, not float),
Or else you'll turn into a freezie.

This is so fun! Siphonophores are cool, and this one is cute 🥰

Oh lantern fish oh lantern fish,
You #glitter in the deep sea.
Oh Problematic Lantern fish,
Your body is so shiny.
Diaphus problematicus,
You school and bioluminescence.
Oh lantern fish, oh lantern fish,
Your scales are lovely glittery.

I am all in a sea of wonders.

The vampire squid Vampyroteuthis infernalis, it's name literally means “the vampire squid from hell.” 

Sounds like a Halloween nightmare, right?

As the #WPBL is set to premiere, I'd love to call out the amazing Jean Faut. She's the only professional player (man or woman) to throw TWO perfect games

Am I laughing unnecessarily over this?
Arteta reminding the press that we've got many Gabi's including one on the staff now. 😂

#DeepSeaDecember Day 2: Red
My first thought was the Octonauts and the Vampire Squid 🐙 A Halloween themed episode (In general, this is one of my fave shows to watch with the kids, educatioal and cute.)
There's also an amazing red ice episode called The Hidden Lake.

The Vampire Squid is a squid that has a vampire-like spiked cape (shown if it is scared.) If it is too scared, it squirts out green slime. It lives in the deep waters of the Midnight Zone, the darkest...

I'm trying keep up with #DeepSeaDecember, for fun. Day 1: snow. Marine snow is an important (and fascinating) way that nutrients move from upper levels of ocean all the way to the bottom. Microorganisms often go along for the ride.

I'm hoping that more people on BlueSky will celebrate the #deepsea

I love following along with Mossy Earth's rewilding projects. The work is thorough and well planned, and they make amazing things happen.

Nice line from Arteta on the sense of disappointment at not winning today "The spirit, the hunger and how much we want it is so incredible. We will overcome everything."

5 yellow cards, 1 red and scoreless at the half. This has been a wild and physical match!

The Arsenal arrive at Stamford Bridge ahead of today’s huge title clash.

Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus are with the squad.

If Arsenal concede fewer than three goals against Chelsea, they will equal the record of 107 straight games in all competitions without conceding three goals in a match set by an English club (Man Utd October 2016 to August 2018).
