The results are in for cartoon ideas. Sankrant's suggestion got the most votes, suggesting I create alternate mascots for other programming languages. I like it! I'm going to start tomorrow making mascots for other languages- Let's see how many I can do! xitter.cf/snk_xed/status/1243780…

Twitter is funding a small independent team of up to five open source architects, engineers, and designers to develop an open and decentralized standard for social media. The goal is for Twitter to ultimately be a client of this standard. 🧵
