I always come back to how insulting the idea is that I need a plagiarism chatbot to help me “organize my thoughts” and “come up with ideas,” something I am perfectly capable of doing myself and never asked for any help with

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

Gentle reminder to use alt text. It helps users with low vision--and it also helps those without, because if you post images of groups of people, and don't identify them, I may not know who they are, and I'd imagine you would like me to, since you took the time to capture the moment and to share it.
