“I made this!” can be profound declaration of joy, ask any little kid; hell, I’ve known dogs who would happily drag you over to a hole they dug, just to show it off. I am deeply suspicious of and very confused by people who cheat themselves out of that joy by misunderstanding its source.

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

New Yorkers, have you called yet? It is outrageous Democrats are working to add a sentencing enhancement for wearing a medical mask while New Yorkers continue to die from COVID-19, be hospitalized, & go on to get #LongCOVID! This whole thing is outrageous and against public health. #NoNYMaskBan

If this isn't a cautionary warning for academics then I don't know what is. You are putting yourself one step closer to unemployment each time you use AI to write an email, synthesize literature, code any data, use the socratic method to organize ideas, or write syllabi, lectures & papers.

“You do you” Covid policies left many of us with N95s as our main line of defence against repeat infection. Respirators make public spaces accessible. They allow us to attend healthcare appointments without forced infection. Cutting the people who ensure their quality will endanger disabled lives.

Just draw the fuckin thing yourself. The imperfection is part of the charm. The fact that you drew it is the whole fuckin point. Don't embarrass yourself engineering a prompt, just pick up whatever you have at hand and give it a go. Be a human being.
