The first year or two of COVID when schools were closed at grad time, they started doing yard signs in my area that had school name and grad year (e.g. "Congratulations Artonas Class of 2021!"). Mixed feelings about that.

But adding the picture and the students name is a whole other level of nope!

It is offensive to me that even in our late stage capitalist society if I want pizza and sunglasses I have to go to two different huts

These are for the grandparents, by the way, who have some odd, possibly nostalgic desire to receive school photos even though their phones can take far better pictures.

They are charging $300 for five DIGITAL images. I feel like I'm buying NFTs.

How utterly mortified would I have been if my parents had gotten and displayed one of these.

Artona Yard Signs: Celebrate your graduate by displaying your yard sign on the front lawn, from the balcony or in the window. Each sign is 12"x18" and comes with an H frame.

I literally just turned in a round of edits to my editor at Bloomsbury for my book about the founding of JPL and the Suicide Squad, and this is painful to see.

JPL has been responsible for some of our most incredible achievements in science, and this is going to set us back.
