‘Food for thought’ came to mind and then the analogy that this is like a diet. Tough to stick to but probably very good for your health.
Make you background something really boring, like the default globe image. No children, no pets, no heartwarming memories. This is your enemy, not your friend; don't let it wear the skins of your loved ones. www.shesabeast.co/the-diy-dumb...

There is nothing on my Airline Transport Pilot certificate that indicates my race, pronouns, gender identity or anything that opponents of DEI are scared of. We all passed the same check rides based on the same standards set by the FAA. To use a tragedy as a platform to discriminate is abhorrent.
