off a ravaged shore,
plastic filterfeeders sift
scraps from acid sea

they wander the sea twisting like like paleozoic whirligigs soaking up microplastics and sunlight extruding polymer bones and following pollutant gradients as they drift. they beach sometimes, and villages turn up to drag their shivering frames back out to tide. they don't know what a fish is

Something very interesting I'd like to bring attention to is that this cell system means that sponges do not possess any internal tissues. They are simple as simple cam be!
They are also hermaphroditic filterfeeders.

I see! that would make sense for an evergreen state. Michigan ones are filterfeeders for biofilm and do contribute to detritivores, but they always hatch when the snow is still around so amphibians and predatory arthropods would also be dormant or away for migration

Definitely didn't fall off the face of the earth again, here's a late but still finished bit of art for smaugust this year.
This is day 1, Alien, I wanted to go for a kinda free-floating wyrm drifting through space.

Abyssal Serpents found throughout the star systems of the fringe Augustine Sector. These serpents are a bane on the Augustinian colonists as they prey upon the smaller freight and civilian vessels as they would the spawn of the gargantuan void-bound filterfeeders they have pursued as their ancestors did on the gas giant they originated from. Sporting a long winding harpoon from a tendon like mouthpart, its diamond hard edge can pierce and drag any unfortunate calf or vessel to its serrated jaws, unless... you have a truly mad cosmonaut onboard, armed with the signature Augustinian Shock-Glaive. slightly brighter image for those who need it A long, somewhat skeletal looking alien dragon with a long fringed tail and wings, with a bony colored chest and head. It has little lures on the sides of its head in a similar fashion to an angler fish

“ There's a measurable difference when the water's coming into the tank versus when it's coming out,” said Gus Perry, restoration and marine projects coordinator for the alliance. “We'll see green, cloudy, plankton-rich waters coming in, and then nice clear water on the way out.” #filterfeeders
