Interrupting your doomscrolling with a fun project I did to prevent myself from doomscrolling: a LEGO MOC of the world map from The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past video game. I used bricks we had on hand, so the colors and shapes aren’t perfect, but pretty dang close for small scale!

I realize I’m biased, but I greatly enjoyed @tylersticka’s presentation at CascadiaJS, GIFs Are Forever, Let’s Make Them Better. I learned several things. Even if you think you know GIFs, you'll probably learn something new.
