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.

Frog Facts advent calendars, with rainbow iridescent stickers on them, being held up by Sarah. there are 6 species of frogs, including bullfrogs, poison dart frogs, leopard frogs, and two kinds of tree frogs and even a sneaky toad under the water

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.

hell yeah, the best squid scientist on this hellsite (@sarahmackattack) got to meet Elmo & some cute kids and teach some Science™!

SM: I hate to break it to you, Elmo. I think this shark might be able to eat you whole.

E: Oh, this is terrifying.
