More than 100 folks have contributed data that powers MascotMap. I am so happy to have so many folks engaging with the map in this unusual way. Thank you everyone!!
While you're there, be on the lookout for unmapped long jump, high jump, and pole vault pits.
okay so the Swiss broadcaster revealed the runners up of the Eurovision Mascot Contest 2025 and this was 5TH PLACE!? I LOVE EM ALREADY. If anything happened to this little guy I would kill everyone in the room and then myself.
Everyone has been enjoying mapping school mascot info so that calls for an actual map! Feel free to contribute icons in the repo and of course more data to the database.
Yes that is a school that has a potato for a mascot. The fightin’ russets!
Tonight the missus and I had our weekly date night (fast casual dinner followed by coffee/pastries and conversation). It started out terribly--a misread in communication and anger. However, the night was saved by Gritty stories and memes. So, thanks, Flyers. #Gritty #Flyers #Philadelphia #mascots
