A crude black and white sketch in which a pipe is pouring poopy water into a stream, polluting the stream. Some bones are sinking in it now. The pipe is labelled AI slop. The stream is labelled Internet.

โ€‹A minimalist vectorial digital drawing that is a humorous reference to the Eunice aphroditois, or Bobbit Worm. The image features a small, simple sketch of a pile of sand or sediment in the center of a pale blue background, representing the worm hidden beneath the substrate. Above the sand pile, the text reads: "Eunice aphroditois, please get out!" The text "invertobter2025 - Day 14" is in the bottom right corner.

I regret to inform y'all, that my bobbit worm sneaked back in their sand tunnel n disappeared. Don't know when I'm gonna see them again to finish Day 14 of #invertober2025 ๐Ÿ˜ข

~just kidding, I was weak and got defeated... for the moment. The bobbit worm will return, but for now I decided to move on~

Bobbit Worms and Scaly Foot Gastropoda are some of my fav invertebrates, but I also do enjoy the classic worm.

a worm in a hard tube, sprouting from the opening is a complex circular shape, opened like a flower, but looking like feathers, with another spiral of feather like appendages over the first. On one side is a hard component that looks like a trumpet

I forgot to do this month's #InvertArtChallenge! So while it's a little late, here's the invert for October, a Christmas tree worm.

Feel free to use this image to draw, paint or whatever your creative spirit demands.

Thanks for the reminder @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social!

A small and simple pen on paper drawing of a clam riding a skateboard and playing a saxophone under a partial solar eclipse. The prompts are written on the right right of the drawing: shredded, Pacific razor clam, eclipse, playing an instrument.

I think we can safely assume this razor clam is shredded from all that exercise shredding (and playing saxophone). Day 12 #inktober #invertober2025 #SpacetoberChallenge #OC_tober catchup
