despite the corporate marketing angle of this, I think it is low key kind of powerful to see the whole stadium and players holding the names of their loved ones battling or lost to cancer…

what even is Duolingo doing rn?!?!

a green owl sits with its mouth open while its brain has burst through the top of its head leaving a dark hole and the brain too has eyes and a mouth agape in astonishment at the finished lesson whose data is included below their depiction; the rest of the text reads: “Perfect! You made no mistakes in this story”
