#WritersCoffeeClub 11: What's your most effective method for connecting with readers?
I was going to mockingly reply "what's the biggest single celled organism?" but I got distracted by the biggest single celled organisms! Check out Valonia ventricose, the sailor's eyeball. So chonky!! AND NOT EVEN THE WINNER! (That goes to Caulerpa taxifolia but this one's the coolest looking.)
I connect with readers using weird facts on social media.

@pentup@mastodon.art Well that's one for my newsletter. (I like to do interesting science-y things.)

I really wanted to end that toot with "Come for the weird stuff. Cum for the weirder stuff!" but I didn't want to CW the whole thing. 😅

@pentup When I first saw one of those during a dive, I thought someone must have dropped a big glass marble. At some point the number of lost marbles became somewhat hard to believe.
