Black-and-white photo of a street riot: an overturned burning car, smoke, and several young men standing in a debris-strewn street. Torn paper strips are pasted over it. The top strip reads "i like to stay up late on the computer". The bottom strip reads "and look for answers."

A small child in a white unicorn costume with a horn and spines crouches with arms out on a grassy lawn, facing a boy in a yellow Star Trek command uniform who points a toy blue and yellow space blaster at them. Top text: "NEVER LET NORMAL". Bottom text: "INTERFERE WITH AWESOME". A tire swing hangs from a large oak tree branch over a green grassy hillside with distant hills and a river in the background. White text at lower left reads "THE ORIGINAL PLAYSTATION". Bottom right reads "facebook.com/homesteading". A white subway-tile wall with a wooden-framed panel lit by lamps and draped with green ivy above. Black capital letters read: "BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SUCK AT SOMETHING NEW." A sidewalk curb and dark street run below. Black and white hand-lettered illustration. Inside a white oval wreath of leafy fronds on a scratchy black background, text reads: "Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." The word "now" is underlined each time. Black-and-white photo of an old dictionary page printed over with large bold gray capital letters reading: "IF IT CAN BE DESTROYED BY THE TRUTH IT DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED BY THE TRUTH" and below it, "CARL SAGAN". A weathered paper poster pasted on a gritty wall above a black stenciled typewriter. Typewriter-font text reads: "Everyone here is either so wrapped up in creating their own success story or so damaged from their failure that resentment is often all we have in common." Signed WRDSMITH.
