Screenshot of Aaron Rodericks posting, "When users are suspended for harassment or abusive behavior, some immediately claim the action was taken because of their identity. It becomes a way to avoid accountability for conduct that violated the rules. Yet, your identity does not give you a free pass to harass others on the internet."

Cover for a charity anthology. The background colors are red and green, referencing the Palestinian flag, but the colors are separated by a rectangle of barbed wire. Two hands cross the rectangle, one holding an olive branch, the other holding a key (like the housekeys kept after the 1948 Nakba). Written on the first wrist is "Broken Olive Branches", and written on the second is "Edited By Stephanie Rabig".
