fun: you can shape text using the cutwin package. So e.g. you can write a complaint letter such that the outline of the text is a middle finger. (lemmy.sdf.org)

It’s a slightly labor intensive because for each line of text you have to specify an endpoint.. but it’s managable enough. Also worth considering is Inkscape, which has a function to flow text into a shape.

It would be fun to collect some templates for re-use. E.g. if someone wants to complain about the corrupt tyrant who just took power (the most powerful office in the world) a couple days ago, a middle finger would be appropriate for that sort of thing.
