An illustration of grizzled Night Watch leader Sam Vimes, from Terry Pratchett's Discworld, in scale armor and holding a cup of coffee. White text in italics is laid over with his infamous quote, "It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us.

a map from Unchained at Last of the number of child marriages in the United States, with circles of varying sizes representing how large the problem is. The heading is "How many children married in your state between 2000-2018?" To the right of the map is the list of the states with the actual or estimated number.

A three panel illustration with the heading "FLU, COVID-19, MEASLES, TUBERCULOSIS... HOW ARE THESE DISEASES TRANSMITTED?" with an illustration in the first panel showing Direct Contact Route with two people next to each other, Indirect Contact Route with two people across a table. The second panel shows Deposition Route as the first person speaks to another with the label Ballistic Particles with 2m distance and lists: * direct deposition on facial mucosal surfaces (mouth, nose, eye) * semi-ballistic behavior *trajectories are governed by gravity * falls quickly after traveling a few meters * does not travel long distances. The third panel shows Inhalation Route shows smaller particles showering people from the air as the person speaks with a label Airborne Particles and lists: * enters the respiratory tract through inhalation * suspended in the air, sometimes for hours * trajectories are influenced by airflow * can cover long distances. Disclaimer at bottom states: Depending on the Pathogen, These Routes Are More Or Less Important
