ANIMATIONS 🌀 BOB ROSS 🌀 TRANSLATING DOG-SPEAK
Heya,
Back again with the choicest links, I could find in Slack. Last week I proposed a change to the schedule, and I think we will stick with weekly for the time being. I promise to work harder at reducing the linkage, even if this week is a fail.
This week, I was lucky enough to be inundated with great animations, including one animation of a great tv personality and all-round hero that sparks more joy than a t-shirt from childhood.
