We do approach themes that can be triggering. For these we have decided to add a dark red banner on the top corner of the page so you can skip those if you are not up for them on any given day. This issue’s potentially triggering themes are: police brutality, sexual abuse, disordered eating, rape, childhood sexual abuse, internalised victim blaming, misogyny, dermatillomania, sexual assault, internalised racism, self-harm, anorexia, suicidal ideation, trichotillomania, suicide.
