A small cameo for @emojination in a thoughtful piece about @emojistorydoc in @arstechnica by @NathanMattise (who was inspired by a SXSW panel to dig into many an emoji proposal to see if he had one in him!). arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/…

I love this tribute of @MelissaTherms’s work on the WORM 🪱 emoji proposal.
