as part of my plan to do better in school i promised myself that every time i got 85% or higher on a test in Math i would make pharrell’s hat just a little bit larger on his Wikipedia page. they reverted the changes on the third panel so maybe they are on to me but i just got 91% on a test so i’m confident they won’t notice the fourth panel for a while

i want to read new books, matt. have you read any good ones recently? <3
