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
Super News!
I’d like to introduce a new Series for the project, called Super News! Times are rough (couldn’t leave all bad things back in 2020 I guess), so the idea is to focus on pieces of good news at the beginning of the week to end the weekend on a good note, and help mitigate some… Continue reading Super News!
Giving Thanks
Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks, and I have quite a few people I would like to thank for making this project possible. Even though I made the decision to start this project on my own and do (mostly) everything myself, I couldn’t do it without so many of you. Roll credits! I first want… Continue reading Giving Thanks
