In case you missed it, there is a pandemic occurring right now. There are protests and riots in the streets of every state over police brutality and racial injustice. There are killer hornets in the Northwest that my friends and I are referring to as tracker jackers—a salute to Hunger Games, which doesn’t feel far off from the narrative of our world right now. Also, a protest has manifested in an autonomous zone in Seattle called CHAZ, declaring a police-free area of occupation. Australia is still recovering from the wildfires that ravaged its land earlier this year. It’s also an election year here in the States.
