A meme showing a sunny cemetery with rows of headstones in the background. In the center foreground is a freshly dug rectangular grave. White bold text at the top reads, “When I die, I want all of my past managers to lower me into the grave.” Text at the bottom reads, “So they can let me down one last time.”

I'm torn and need your help. Which image should I use for my SXSW speaking announcement?
1 or 2?
Thank you for your help!
Today @ghost.org crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software.
Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating.
I'm not familiar with the law, but I'm wondering if there is a specific timeframe within which the government is required to respond. This could be a significant burden and may result in some wins by default.
reMarkable ad.
Author fist meme.
Every time I see this ad, I see this meme.
I wish it was real, too.
