side view of white female sitting at a desk with her left hand on a keyboard. She is wearing a purple hoodie and purple glasses. She has dark hair with grey streaks. She is looking at a laptop sitting on a stand. The computer screen shows a photo of her working on this draft post. On the desk beside her are lots of colorful pens and piles of items. Pieces of art on are on the wall.
