Title: "The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own." The image shows a pie chart with Apple Corporation's CO2 emissions.

Vivid and powerful, you can really feel the knot twisting around in her stomach.

    I was online when they changed it to white pixels only. Watching the board be erased was weirdly emotional. It was cool seeing the community naturally come together to delete it all from the inside out, in the shape of an expanding heart (roughly).

    Not saying it’s not a gimmick or anything. Just a cool event that a lot of different communities have fun with
