My newest video is now UP ON PATREON! Fellow biologist and YouTuber, ‪@TierZoo‬, released a video where he ranked a bunch of mollusks on one of his famous tier lists, and let me tell you. I had THOUGHTS about his rankings.

You can now watch this video ad-free on my Patreon if you sign up for my $5 or $10 tier (link in the comments!), or, if you're already a member of my streaming service, Nebula, you should be able to watch it over there…tomorrow? Later today? (lmao it is currently way past midnight where I am) Otherwise, tune in on Wednesday, July 23rd, when it goes live to the public!
