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.

Type Animations is an incredible collection of animations using...type. Inifinity and beyons is my favorite.

40075 is an interactive journey through world music.
This is the kind of web page made for all the peoples; something for music lovers, something for animation lovers. Therefore, something for everyone.
40075.world
An ode to a more innocent era of piracy with some motion design that captures the glory of blank VHS covers.
youtu.be
A real-time animation of the speed of light as it travels between the Earth and Moon. If you're a lover of size and distance to scale, then you'll be glad you clicked. 🚅
Also, if you're into spacey stuff, which judging from the clicks you're not, this Deep Space Network site will tell you which antenna is communicating with which spacecraft. Again, in real-time with no locations redacted.

I have multiple reasons for sharing this:
- Bob Ross is delightful (he transcends tense and will always be in the present)
- <div class="fro"> is the best div ever.
Emoji Factory is a pen that will help you make your own emoji.
