had a flash of partially-formed, mostly-joking, maybe actually good thought:

> Boycott emojis 100% everywhere they appear.

Emojis constrain the expanse and nuance of your expression into a preselected set. and you didn't design the set. and you don't know who did. and it's an implicit shared language with other people who also didn't make these choices - in other words: a collective linguistic prison we're all choosing to occupy together.

I'm sure there is a bunch of "scholarship" about this already, but it just crossed my mind for the first time now.

which emoji should I pick to convey the above thought and my feelings about it?
