For the time being, I won't be posting my good news videos here. As a one-man-show, I don't have the capacity to post on every platform with my near-daily cadence. For now, I'm focusing on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Substack (@jacobsimonsays) I hope to return in the future when I have a team!

Coolest new species: a nudibranch (sea slug) covered in sesame seed spots, a flowering plant that looks like a bird’s beak, a tiny clicking frog smaller than a dime, a geometric millipede, and a fish covered in angelic threads. Makes you wonder what else is out there…
