Look, Vincent. I said I'd stay here for ten grand. I never agreed to all these meetings. I'm going to bed. In a closet. With a gun and a bottle of wine. #Monsterdon

#WritersCoffeeClub Could you work without the internet? Mostly. I have offline Wikipedia and hardcopy reference material. I&#39;d need internet to upload books to stores, though.

Tomorrow we watch Sting of Death. Today we marvel at Jellyfish life! ๐ค ๐ชผ Jellyfish reproduction is wacky. They can reproduce sexually (spraying eggs and sperm around) or asexually (cloning) but for me the wildest bit is that after a baby polyp attaches to a surface it develops into a strobila, which is a chain or stack of teeny tiny jellyfish. When they are ready, they lift off the stack, one at a time, and start pulsing. Tiny ephedras! Then they hunt even tinier prey and grow bigger, into medu...

This week's #Monsterdon is Sting of Death, so let's look at some fun Jellyfish facts.๐ชผ Why do Jellyfish sting? As a defense, perhaps, but certainly to hunt. They have specialized cells containing nematocysts, little, coiled harpoon-like structures that shoot out to sting and even paralyze prey. Nematocysts are 'spent' once used and take a day or so to grow back. Most jellyfish stings are mild to humans, but a few jellies (particularly around Australia and southeast asia) have...

Hooray! This week's #Monsterdon is Sting of Death, so let's look at some fun Jellyfish facts this week.๐ชผ Basics first. Jellyfish are soft, invertebrate animals, members of the phylum Cnidaria along with anemones and corals. Cnidarians are known for their stinging abilities. A typical jellyfish's jelly-like body (Mesoglea) is mostly water, sandwiched between two thin layers of living tissue. The bell-shape we think of as "a jellyfish" is called a Medusa, and it's jus...

Hey #Monsterdon, I've had a ball putting together bingo cards for you all, but I have some 'life stuff' going on, and it's time for me to step down. The bingo archive will stay up! If someone is interested in running #MonsterdonBingo, I'm happy to pass along my tools and tips. DM me. Or more casually - anyone can post cards to the hashtag at any time. As always, there are no rules. :) I'll still be around for Monsterdon, just not every week. Thanks for playing Bingo wi...
