Today's advent collage shows three birds, probably gulls, flying with wings fully stretched against a startingly orange and yellow sky. The sky is reflected below in the grey waters of a sea at dusk.

This is an illustration from our book The Cell, written by the brilliant Ben Martynoga. We had to fight a bit to keep this drawing, because it was felt it didn't represent a broad range of women. It does raise interesting points.
I created it by assuming a generation would be 30 years.

![Excerpt from our book The Cell.
Text:
Even the egg cell that started it all came from another cell: one in your (biological) mother’s body. And the cells in her body started out as cells in your grandmother’s body, and so on, further and further back in time. Every family is different. This is just how one baby’s family line might look
[Drawing of a line of women zigzagging into the distance, going back in time as shown by their outfits]
The text continues:
The line stretches all the way back to Luca – the ancestor we all have in common. Being able to reproduce by dividing one cell into two was Luca’s superpower, of course, and nowadays, biologists have a name for that process . . .](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:syuzldzqctz7e4syg7iivjt5/bafkreicypsgp3redh2ceb6nbtgknxzyjuj6wxocihcswz46cjc5n6plvsy@jpeg)

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.
