Three years ago, I (Sammy here, hello) set out to create one pixel design a day to pair with a fact about the planet. Not because I had to for work, a school project, or anything else – but because I wanted to. I wanted to make a difference in the world, and I figured… Continue reading Three Cheers for Three Years
We’re on Bored Panda!
For Post 1000, I submitted some past Pixel artwork to Bored Panda, and I’m super excited to say that it was approved and published earlier today! I’m so honored to see the project highlighted on a website like this, and I’m excited to see what is yet to come. If you’d like to check out… Continue reading We’re on Bored Panda!
Post 1000: Big News, Big Feelings
1000 days of pixel posts. Not back-to-back, mind you (we made it 760 days nonstop before dealing with insane flooding, give me a break), but still a huge, huge milestone for the project, nonetheless. It’s emotional, for sure, but we’ll get to that. First comes what’s new with the project! 😊🌎 PROJECT VS. BUSINESS Up… Continue reading Post 1000: Big News, Big Feelings
We hid our like counts – you should too
I’m not sure there is a person alive that doesn’t have mixed feelings about social media. It connects us, yet makes us feel alone. Businesses and creators rely on it for exposure, but algorithms make it increasingly more difficult to be seen. As Pixel Planet Today is almost completely social media-based, we know full well… Continue reading We hid our like counts – you should too
Our Take: COP26
We covered the highlights, we covered the pledges – but what do we have to say about this year’s COP? It was a mixed bag. At the beginning of every environmental conference, we feel a large sense of togetherness and hope that things are finally going to change. But for COP26 – that sense was… Continue reading Our Take: COP26
Highlights: The Series
There’s a new type of post: Highlights! Set up a bit different than regular posts, ‘Highlights’ break down a large topic into more manageable outline items. Instead on focusing on one subject per post, each outline item will cover a takeaway from a larger topic, event, or conference. We have toyed with the idea before,… Continue reading Highlights: The Series
Flooding in Nebraska: A Case of Climate Change
Climate change is a vast issue, with consequences fanning out to every corner of our world. Yes, rising sea levels will be a massive problem to tackle, but as will changing bird migrations, decreases in glacier accumulation, and extinctions of whole ecosystems. Huge issues like the amount of plankton that are able to survive in… Continue reading Flooding in Nebraska: A Case of Climate Change
We’re Open!
After a much-longer-than-anticipated hiatus, I’m so so happy to finally announce that we’re back! I can’t lie, it’s been a really hard few weeks, but I’m so excited to be getting back to the project that helped me find my calling. I was initially planning on getting back into daily posts today, but instead, I… Continue reading We’re Open!
We’ll Be Right Back
Day 760. We made it 760 days without missing a daily post. I drew, researched, and wrote everyday for over 2 years to make them – despite the times where I was sick, on vacation, busy with work, or quote unquote a bit burned out. I posted when I was recovering from a fractured rib,… Continue reading We’ll Be Right Back
Things on the Way
We have exciting news! A new Series is on the way this month, another next month, but then a big announcement on Day 600 (keep an eye out). Black Lives Matter I hope this isn’t the first you’re hearing about it, but this month is Black History Month! To celebrate, we’re going to be posting… Continue reading Things on the Way
