I hope you’re all enjoying this descent into madness.
The important thing to remember is what while I can’t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.
So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You don’t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling!
It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.
This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!
Artists! Drop your shop links!
& check out SquidFacts.net 😘

Made a zine tonight about how to help feed people with food insecurity , and my art was terrible, but fortunately the event was Bad Art For Good so it kept with the theme. I like my little zine! Might make it look nicer and actually pass some out
Was going to make a poster tonight but this inspired me to try my hand at a zine

Lots of great art and conversations tonight at Bad Art for Good (and the cheese donation? hell yeah Perrystead Dairy)!
I got started on a tree-focused zine but unfortunately the jet lag is still hitting me like a bag of bricks at 8pm every night so I didn’t finish it. I’ll continue later!

Alright, look, ideally Guillermo del Toro will make another aquatic monster romance. Personally, I feel we're overdue for one of those, but if he must remake classics, can we get that guy on Beauty and the Beast? I bet he could give us the ending we all deserve for that one.

2 hours and 20 minutes into Wicked and these witches STILL haven't kissed? I can't believe this. This is an outrage.

Please buy an advent calendar! This is our 3rd year. Ours arrived yesterday; my husband came & handed the envelope to me. “What’s in it? WAIT, IS IT THIS YEAR’S ANIMAL FACTS ADVENT CALENDAR?!” I slowly pulled it out of the envelope, facing it towards him. His face lit up as he shouted, “EEL FACTS!!”
This year we have sold 31% of the advent calendars that we sold last year 😓
The art is so pretty and colorful 🥺
The facts are so good 🥺
Eels are so cool 🥺

Never saw the appeal in advent calendars until now. Bring on the eel facts!!!
Advent is a mere 3 weeks away!
Consider this. Who in your life...
needs to know more about eels?
feels joy in learning?
likes the ocean?
needs a little treat?
You should send them an Eel Facts Advent Calendar!
Sales support @skypeascientist.bsky.social and it's just plain fun!

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
