Today is a big day for @duolingo—we goin’ public, y’all!!! Within a week, I’ve had my first child and my first IPO… what a wild year 2021 has been! So proud of @LuisvonAhn, @severinhacker, the Design team, and company for all the hard work over the years. $DUOL #duolipo

[Duolingo @duolingo]

Language belongs to everyone. Now Duolingo does, too. 💚

Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available. Today's #DUOLIPO with @Nasdaq means we can bring education to more people than ever before. $DUOL

@motherfuton @brad @keeg My brain also does this with Absolution (Muse) and 2advanced, the hottest thing on the internet in 2004. @ericjordan @shanemielke @Moore

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@motherfuton @brad @keeg I will try to fix you.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@tatsvc Proud of you, Tats! What an amazing goal to hit.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@helena @CaseyNewton On my birthday, no less. How bittersweet!

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

Write the words that will help shape the future of education. Bonus: you get to work with Mary, queen of the word nerds.

@ericsnowden Spoiler: It’s not.

@fanelli Don’t miss this, @garrettmurray.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@fanelli I thought your cold, dead soul would reject it outright. So glad to be wrong.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@jw OH. EM. GEEE.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@garrettmurray @jasonsudeikis My thoughts exactly. I almost didn’t watch because the trailer looked so cheeseball, but fortunately @malthe convinced me to give it a try...

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@pishdeluxe It’s okay. We all knew you were just being stubborn.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@fanelli Nope, still wear my Liverpool FC hat proudly.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@fanelli Brooklyn Nine-Nine is my personal fav.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

@fanelli 🖐

[Ryan Sims @simmy]

Let's talk. Not the apply-for-a-job type? DM me. Especially if you're a design manager, product designer, systems designer, producer, character animator, motion designer, illustrator, or brand designer...I'd be very interested in chatting.

[Ryan Sims @simmy]
