This had me captivated for a good five minutes. I just kept watching how the patterns matched up, trying to parse out the connections in my brain.
Who knew an animation of a Rubik’s Cube and some corresponding concentric circles could be so stimulating?

If you like it, boosts are welcomed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.
Every hashtag on every post on every platform should ALWAYS be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.
