A titlecard for a podcast episode. The text reads: Knock Once for Yes Episode 85 Haunted Road Trip: Choose your own adventure. The photo background is shot from a car and shows a 'through the windscreen' view of a country road passing through English moorland. A heavy mist blankets the landscape, obscuring all features on the horizon in a white blur. A single car approaches on the opposite side of the road, headlights glowing warmly in the dull light of a foggy day.
Screenshot of an X post by @MeetJess. The text reads: 6 years of living with the constant math: Is this space safe? Is this air clean? Is this risk worth it? 6 years of watching caution get mocked, science get diluted, preventable harm get normalized. I’m not tired of caring. I’m tired of being surrounded by people who don’t

A sunrise over a beach. The sun just peeks over the sea, a glowing orb of red that paints the horizon in stripes of orange and pink. Through a gap in large tufts of marram grass on a sandy path, we see the orange reflection of the sun's light glittering on a calm, pale blue sea.
A deserted beach early in the morning. A mist hangs over a blue-grey sea and the low morning sun tries to burn through the haze. Sand dunes thick with marram grass run behind the strip of pale golden sand still exposed at high tide, protected by a concrete sea defence wall.

Text reads: there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I'll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn't charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they're not wearing a face mask, and that's the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. The CDC just announced there are no more speed limits on highways, and I think this Ativan is finally hitting. The NYPD farmer's market only sells bad apples, have you heard that one? Listen it's warm today, too warm for March. But I don't have time to think through the implications because there's laundry to do and a genocide to stop. by Vinay Krishnan
