Alternating between staring into space and doing 1000 tiny tasks on a to-do list. And eating everything in sight.

Iām not into video games but I can get behind this. Only thing that could make it better is grasshoppers that hop-fly out as the horse gallops in the grasses.
We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

The murky liquid and the poorly labeled jars are giving me a FRIGHT. (And lovely memories from grad school) love this idea!!
This is a cocktail. The sidecar kill jar. Instructed to bring a āspookyā cocktail to an entomologistās party. So here, poorly labeled kill jars. Edible insects made with gelatin and candy molds, plastic insects from a tub. Delicious.

It is hard work to keep something like this afloat and Iām always amazed by @SarahMackAttack and her drive, energy and output. She inspires us. Get a frog facts advent calendar and help support @SkypeScientist !
When I did the math to figure out that 5000 calendars would fund @SkypeScientist for 2025, I literally laughed out loud because thatās over 6x what weāve ever sold. But here I am today, and weāre approaching 500 sold. Could we actually do this? Kinda feels like maybe?
