What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a parody of a gentle self-care infographic. Under the heading "How to love someone with anxiety," a soft illustration shows a couple embracing from behind, surrounded by small hearts, but the advice boxes are deliberately cruel: "Tell them to hurry the fuck up," "Repeat yourself. Repeat yourself.," "Interrogate them," "Gaslight them," and "Criticize them for everything they do, this builds character." The inverted advice is reproduced as found and is plainly not endorsed. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
