A person's hand holding a white N95 mask carved like a jack-o-lantern, with orange light glowing through the eye holes and filter material. The mask floats in a dark, misty night scene, creating a surreal and thoughtful Halloween image about protection and visibility
This year's most terrifying costume? The mask of the conscious. It triggers society's deepest fear: the outsider who cares too much & refuses to pretend. The real horror is accountability. Have a safe, mindful Halloween.

Image of a motivational quote graphic. At the top, in elegant text, is the famous quote: 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. โLao Tzu'. Directly below it is a sketched illustration of a glowing red lightbulb, symbolizing a new idea. Next to the lightbulb, the quote is humorously revised in handwritten text to speak to a Covid-conscious audience. It reads: 'A pandemic of a thousand waves begins with a single unmasked breath.' The tone is wry and ironic, creating a sense of shared understanding and dark humor about the realities of airborne virus transmission.

A motivational note titled "Note to My Tired Self" with a hand-drawn N95 mask and reminder about pathogens. A red-underlined section says "care for the wearer (that's you!)" followed by a humorous checklist with hydration, mask breaks, skincare, and safety tips. Ends with encouragement: "You're Doing a Great Job" and "responsibly-filtered icon." Tone is Covid-conscious self-care.

A hand-drawn note titled "Welcome to the Clean Air Sector!" with a sketch of an N95 mask. Text explains a mask-required policy for the cubicle, using the phrase "no shoes, no shirt, no service." It states this is to avoid airborne germs and thanks people for helping. It offers unmasked alternatives: communicating by phone, email, chat, videoconference, or stepping outside. A postscript notes the air purifier noise is from an "emotional support machine." The tone is friendly and humorous.

An poster image. In the top left corner is a red hand-drawn sketch of a megaphone. Next to it, the popular wisdom phrase 'Listen to your body.' is written. Below, the word 'But' is circled in red marker, leading to the main text: โif it's composing a symphony of coughs, that's a biohazard warning, not a request for an audience. Your solo performance at home is what true community care looks like.โ
Farther down, the word 'and' is circled in the same red marker, connecting to a crucial footnote: 'if you're positive or exposed, even if you feel fine, your body is already hosting the show. Please act accordingly.โ The image uses a mix of typography and hand-drawn elements to creatively reframe a common wellness phrase into a message about respiratory illness responsibility, asymptomatic transmission, and community protection for a Covid-conscious audience.

Image of a white post-it note with a handwritten "To Do List" for the Covid-conscious. All items have checkmarks. The list is: "Breathe. (But like, safely.)", "Resist the urge to explain airborne viruses to a wall.", "Remember that 'common sense' is neither common nor sensical.", "Find one other person online who hasn't lost their mind. (Hi, that's you!)", and "Avoid becoming a host for a pathogen that dines and dashes.
