A PSA-type composite image. It is composed of a pocket watch on a chain swinging in front of a double or triple spiral, and text. The motif is a twentieth-century reference to the old practice of hypnosis, wherein a person in a trance would do whatever they were told. Text: "You want to put on a mask in public -and stay home when you're sick."

A satirical image made of a screenshot of a headline and a still from an anime. Headline: "Trump claims affordability crisis is a democratic 'con job.'" Subtitle: "President Trump claims the affordability crisis in the United States is a Democratic Party 'con job.' The group chat analyzes what that means for Americans." Anime Still: shows Long Feng from "The Last Airbender." SHe is a smiling Chinese woman wearing ancient clothing: a tan robe with a green scarf, and a headdress like a green bar fixed horizontally in her hair. Her famous line is "There is now war in Ba Sing Se" where there is obviously war. Hence its being used here.

A social media post by The Grayzone ( @TheGrayZoneNews), quote reposted by Muhammad Shehada ( @muhammadshehad2). Original post: "A.I. drones used in Gaza are now surveiling American cities. Drone usage by Israel-based, Gaza field-tested Skydio across the U.S. has grown extraordinarily." Reply: "We, Gazans, are a canary in a coal mine; we've been screaming our lungs off to warn you of what's coming your way. We're merely the experimental lab & showroom; everything they did to us, got away with and normalized will be done to you next sooner or later!"

A Tumblr post by user punkitt-is-here [five hat emojis here]. Text plus illustration. Text: "When you see a big girl with broad shoulders and unshaved legs and shittily applied makeup like she just started doing it for the first time three months ago and a voice like the faggiest bitch on the planet you should be doing this." Below the text is a line drawing of an NPC character, kneeling and bowing his head in prayer to a smiling woman with a sunburst behind her head. She has unshaved legs.

A cropped page depicting two columns comparing trans people to Spider-Man. The left column, headed by a copied and pasted image of a trans pride flag: body has special abilities; difficult family dynamic; has to hide special clothing; demonized by media; poor." The right column, headed by a small blurry screen of Spider-Man posed on top of a sofa: word for word the same thing as the first column: " body has special abilities; difficult family dynamic; has to hide special clothing; demonized by media; poor."

IMO if you have preserved the peace and enjoyment of even one being, you are winning in a small but important way
A two-panel photograph of a long-haired tabby cat resting on a black bedspread. She is very fluffy and her fur is grey, brown, black and white. First panel: she is rolled over on her side and her paws are curled up. Second panel: she has rolled partly onto her back and is curling her paws up to cover her eyes.

A two-panel meme. First panel: a photo of a gas-masked person wearing military clothing, riding on some sort of armored vehicle that is passing through the ruins of a city. The barrel of a machine gun just out beside them. They are looking back at the viewer. Text: "Hey friend listen, I know the world is scary right now, but." Second panel: close-up of the eye holes of the gas-masked person. Their eyes look afraid. Text: "the future is unknowable and will be determined by how hard we fight now for a loving world."

A photo of Nihila in early transition. She is at home. The room is lit in pink and there is a trans pride flag covering the window. There is a geologically-correct lamp of the Moon hanging on the wall. She is wearing a red pullover and no makeup and looks androgynous. She is smiling. A recent selfie of Nihila, smiling pleasantly, in Goth makeup and all black clothes. She has on a spiked choker with a heavy steel ram's skull appended. Her winged eyes are smoky and her eyebrows pencil-thin. Her hair is pulled back severely. She wears no lip color.

A text post on Tumblr by user houseofpurplestars: "Trying to talk to people about covid or palestine or capitalism/colonialism is this dance of like 'how much information can i gently spoon feed you before you tune me out because you dont want to know.'"

people who aren't discriminated against at all:
A bland white man in a grey suit sits at a table with a yellow rose in a vase. He has a hand pensively held to his chin and has a faraway look on his face. It looks like he's inside a cafe. Text across the bottom reads "We are subjected to the endless destruction of our selfhood."

A "trolley problem" drawing with text. Five people are tied to the track on one line, and there is nobody tied to the track on the one that the guy at the lever can switch to. Text: "You can pull the lever, but to do so you must wear a mask at the grocery store."

A painting overlaid with an NPC wojak and text. The painting is horrible: it depicts a shapeless mass of fanged mouths, monstrous faces and tentacles. The NPC is smiling. Text: "Don't worry guys, I bet we can still vote this away." The image is credited to @antisocialsocialistdude on Instagram.

Gender affirmation comes in many forms and i've got to take that in stride. Some days, the best you can get is a cis man calling you Honey while he's on the job
A selfie of Nihila sitting on a couch inside a business's waiting room. She is wearing a black Sophie Labelle tee with a white rabbit on the front, and a black slouch hat. She has winged eyes and pencil brows today. She is smiling faintly and the sky is visible through the window behind her. It is cloudless.

Share something that reminds you of your childhood
A promotional portrait of 1980s hair band Cinderella's front man Tom Keifer. He is standing in front of a batik-dyed blue backdrop. He is simply fabulous: his long, black hair is teased out and tousled; he wears heavy, black eye makeup; his has large, sensuous lips; his earrings are ornate and dangly; he wears a black lace robe open at the chest and a red silk scarf; around his neck are a strand of Mardi Gras beads and a snake-themed bolo tie. He is making relaxed eye contact with the viewer.

face + scent
A selfie of Nihila inside a car. It is taken from below, with Nihila pointing her finger directly into the camera lens. She has a comically severe expression on her face. Plain outfit: black hoodie, grey cap, glasses with tinted, clear rims. A bottle of 4711 eau de cologne. The bottle has a shape like a liqueur bottle, with a gold cap sealed with a red tab bearing the name of the fragrance. The label is turquoise and gold, with ornate organic decorations. Text: "Echt Kölnisch Wasser Original Eau de Cologne -number 4711."
