Prompt to show DNA inheritance like mixing paint. Distant ancestors are vivid, concentrated colors—the raw pigments. As generations blend together, the colors soften. Each child is a visual mix of their parents' colors, highlighting where (from whom) the color came from, and from how long ago. 🔗➡️

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
