I and many of my friends stream on Twitch. I say, *absolutely the fuck not*. Friends who stream on Twitch, there is a comment thread here where you can make your voices heard: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... This is the *least* they can do.

Sometimes I look cute for a second. Thanks to Baltimore’s Snug Books for having me out to talk fossil plants and, that classic question, what’s my favorite dinosaur! I’ll be back August 25th for round two in case you couldn’t make the original date due to the storm. ⛈️
