Happy Friday wonderful humans!
I hope you all have had a good week so far. Bring on the weekend, I say. I am ready for it even though I am working ah. But we are also going for a picnic tomorrow with some of Ash’s friends so that is something to look forward to. We all need something to look forward to. Big or small. It is definitely getting colder here. Not summer anymore but I absolutely love Autumn. The best time of year. Today’s doodle is a little ghostie.
A little lost ghost.
Good News Friday:
If you haven’t been watching Ted Lasso. You should be. It is heartwarming and funny and heartbreaking and just everything I could wish from a series. Another episode is out today and I don’t know about you but that is very good news. We also thank Tyler and Sarah for telling us to watch it. It is too good.
Other good news is a young Irishman has come up with his own “cool science-y method” to solve the microplastic pollution conundrum, winning Google’s international science fair in the process.
By mixing magnetized iron oxide and vegetable oil, he created a kind of liquid magnet that collects microplastics which can then be removed via magnetism, leaving only glistening water behind. Fionn Ferreira from the south of Ireland details how since the age of 12, he has been looking to find a solution for the hard-to-clean microplastics he knew accompanied the growing amount of plastic garbage that tended to wash up on the beaches he frequented during childhood.
“I started out as a lonely inventor,” Ferreira told the BBC. “After the Google Science Fair, I could all of a sudden speak to scientists—they gave me credit for what I had done. My idea was no longer a toy invented by a child.”
Anything is possible.
