Thanks to @eustaran.bsky.social this is very much the point I was hoping to get across - and a great day today at #CPDP2025

This bag, designed by Rock Paper Scissors, was spotted by journalist Nader Al-Sarras on a Berlin subway.

It says: "This text has no purpose other than to spread terror in the hearts of those who fear the Arabic language."

And if you don't believe this, I checked it. It does.
