This right here was the median protestor at the Brookline No Kings rally (Boston's was skewed by it also being pride, so it was No Kings but Yaas Queen; No I Am Not Joking)
Caption over a drawing: (D-MI) Evelyn Normielib A crude drawing of a white woman, smiling, wearing glasses, a bob haircut, a modest necklace, and a cardigan sweater, in front of a sign that reads, “In this house we believe…” Below the picture it reads: - Retired teacher - Voted for Buttigieg in 2020 because he reminds her of her grandson _ "The blood of the tyrant shall water our fields"

Alternately,
A graph. The X-axis is labeled “Human proximity to cat”. The two graphed lines are “Intelligence” and “Inanity of Statements”. The two are mirror images; inanity of statements grows exponentially, while intelligence undergoes exponential decay. Below the graph, to illustrate, a crude stick figure is drawn three times, and a (much less crude) drawing of a cat. Far and in the middle distance from the cat, the stick figure says nothing, but nearest the cat, the stick figure exclaims, “You're a kitty!”

SMAC, no joke, helped me decide to become a cyberethicist. I've cooled a little bit on the Cybernetic future society, and think it's better mixed with Eudaimonic, but the future I want is definitely more pro-environmental and inquisitive, while trying to meet everyone's basic needs.
