I still think about this tweet all the time

It's lame seeing the humanity squeezed out of places only to be brought back as a tech commodity that reflects humanity back at you — after all, it's trained on it.

Language Lipstick: What Person-Centered Language in Prison Hides If not accompanied by systematic change, using the person-centered language is nothing more than window dressing.
