🗺️ As if we didn’t have enough promotional material shoved in our faces every day on TV, social media, websites, and public spaces, there are now rumors that Google Maps may start serving ads. This dystopian timeline we’re in is really surpassing anything Black Mirror could possibly think up.

🐌 I kind of love this hand-felted sea slugs art project by fiber artist Arina Borevich. Who knew sea slugs were so cute? She has replicated dozens of species and still has thousands more to go — there are around 3,000 valid species of sea slugs!

🎮 Deemed “the world’s first playable magazine cover,” the Gamepop GP-1 is essentially a book cover that you can actually play Tetris on like a Game Boy. Only 150 copies were released of this innovative (and truly nostalgic) design for The Red Bulletin, RedBull’s game and culture magazine. They say print media is dead, but could video gaming bring back magazines??

👻 A team of scientists (The Dorothy Project) and silk weavers (Taroni) sent a ghostly sculpture into space. They say: “By superimposing this ghostly silhouette onto the planet, our only habitat, and the infinite blackness of space, we create an image that transcends aesthetics and invites reflection on our place in the universe.” Rigghhhttt… things weren’t looking ominous enough on Earth itself, so let’s blast this shiny phantom into the stratosphere. (It does look really cool though.)

🐦 The High Line in NYC had a big ol’ farewell party for the giant bird sculpture known as “Dinosaur” over the weekend. It withstood NYC’s volatile weather for 18 months, but now it’s ready to fly the coop. Crowds flocked to the celebratory send-off, some dressed as birds themselves.

👑 RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World had its grand finale and for the first time, a non-UK queen took the crown — Thailand’s Gawdland! A well-deserved win that could’ve been called weeks ago, to be honest. (Also, while we’re being frank, Thailand’s Pangina Heals should’ve won the first season.)

🎭 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, the beloved contemporary fiction novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, has been in the works to become a movie at Netflix for years at this point. But while fans wait for that, it looks like an unofficial theatrical production has hit the stage in Brazil. Clips from the play have been circulating on social media, but still no update from Netflix on when this movie adaptation is happening!

👹 Would you see a Lababu movie? Well, it looks like the toothy little monster dolls are headed for the silver screen, whether any of us are interested or not. And Paul King, the filmmaker renowned for writing and directing Paddington and Paddington 2, is on board. As is Steven Levenson, the playwright and screenwriter behind Dear Evan Hansen.

🎥 Here are some movie/TV trailers that piqued my interest in the last week:
