We need collective pushback against the seeming inevitable omnipresence of Generative AI. As a teacher, I hope that all of us in education can enter the next academic year questioning AI usage, explaining why we won't/don't use it, and pointing to its harmful effects on decarbonization. 🗃️

I hate lineups with a passion but Maha’s is that rare spot where lining up is actually worth it And Maha herself is super nice. My ex & I brought our daughter there once when she was doing a school project on Egypt and Maha came out of the kitchen & showed her how to write her name in Arabic!

But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice.
