3D Horse | Octo Selfie | Carbon Butter

Issue #218

In partnership with

tilted Erlenmeyer flask logo, then "casualSTEM"

Welcome to the wildest weekend of my summer! By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be riding my bike up the gnarliest hill climb in the world, Mt. Washington.

I’ve been preparing and attempting not to stress all week. While also trying to find a day job and get Salesforce certified. Soo time was short 😅.

Tl;dr: Double dose of Clickables this week. I think you’ll really like them!

Unnatural Selection

Last week: “What looks better on snails?”

monocle 33%, glasses 67%

Steve made this in Procreate

I’m fairly confident monocle snails speak with a British accent and have a 50% chance of being a Bond villain.
