Ok so it's not quite two weeks later, but I promise I've been futzing with this on the side!

First I wanted to see where this would show up, at what sizes, and what similar extensions used:

Since very small and small-ish sizes prevail, I'm prioritizing icon-size first, since you're not going to see anything too detailed.

These aren't what I'd consider final designs, but rather sketches on some preliminary ideas.

One idea blurs the traditional person icon: I like that this captures the idea of obscurity & plays off of an overused and unhelpful representation of a person. It's kind of poking fun at it.

The next idea shows a simplified closed eye, or an eye that's half open/half closed.

What do you think about these themes @fureigh ? Glad to explore others if you've had other cool ideas since kicking off!
