You reblog, people see it. You don't, people don't see it. This shit's that simple.

From the people who brought you Squid Facts, Horseshoe Crab is Calling

I don't know about you, but I need a little joy right now. Earlier this month, I was walking down the street in my neighborhood and I came upon this:

I was like "Wow. Ok. Yes I AM picking that up." I couldn't resist! What an enticing strategy!

I had to try it myself.

After kicking the idea around with a few friends, I landed on "Horseshoe Crab is calling", and we updated to the modern iOS. Maybe i should have kept the green and red, I'm not sure.

Who the hell wouldn't be intrigued by this?!

(P.S. shout out to Basic Barbie, another street artist in the city who is unapologetically femme in a predominantly male scene. We love Basic Barbie.)

The link on the bottom goes to a list of actionable things people can do to slow climate change. Very curious to see how many people visit the page.

If you would like the print file so you can get business cards printed yourself to pepper around your natural habitat, DM me. Happy to share.

biologists will be like this is a very simplified diagram of a mammalian cell

chemists will be like this is a molecule

Inej: *lurking in a corner trying not to laugh because she’s the spider*

jesper: heyy kaz, buddy, uh...why are you standing there?

kaz: i live here i can stand anywhere

jesper: okay, why are you standing on that chair?

kaz: i saw a spider in here but now i don't know where it went

jesper, leaping onto the desk: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?? SAINTS IS IT IN MY HAIR????

take a couple deep breaths! also, have you eaten in the last couple hours?

One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

Greek Mythology has a few more I'd like to add:

- Athena, goddess of wisdom (among other things)

- Tyche, goddess of fortune and prosperity

- Elpis, spirit of hope

- the 3 Fates
