This quote... What people want to replace you with is what they think you already are. If companies, bosses, and boyfriends want to replace you with a robot or an AI model, that’s because they already see you and what you do as simply the workings of a machine with far too many bugs.

Sho Salon stands cheerfully. She is wearing a pink headscarf, a blue collared shirt, and a large pink skirt. A watercolor painting of the interior of a train car. The train car looks moderately fancy. A goat woman (Pickman) is sitting in a seat with her back to the window of the train. She looks over her shoulder grumpily while smoking a cigarette. Yellowed landscapes roll past her.
