I’ve been researching many Native American cleansing traditions. Like, I just learned you’re not supposed to buy sage because if you pay for it it’s basically bad juju - which I find interesting since we see so many people online talking about how they’re burning sage and stuff to cleanse their places…

Very true. I usually go to Powwows organized my family’s Chief and stock up on plenty of medicinal herbs and otherwise, including Sage. You can smell the sandalwood from my apartment the moment you get off the elevator to my floor 
Corona has slowed my flow though

For my current project
Asked my biology teacher to design fake anatomies for alien species and then to invent the most painful ways to kill them (In the book, the intruders, a evil species that comes from another universe, fires a virus that is specifically designed to enter your body and kill you in minutes with the most painful experience it can find, depending on your anatomy. Paid her for it obviously
How much could dolphin population grow if they weren’t hunted by neither humans nor any other species for 20 years (In the book, dolphins get recognized as a intelligent species and thus attacking one is basically murder and dolphins are recognized as a country so dolphins have the right to sentence murderers to prison or death. Also, they are given technology, including ways to defend against other maritime animals such as sharks)
What speed would you need to travel between Pekin to New York in about 30 minutes (It’s about Match 19 I think, I still haven’t done much about this calculations. In the book, that is possible to do)
