Note about Triggering Content: We are circulating the above descriptive list in an effort to reveal the content and chronological order of this issue, thus creating the opportunity for readers to judge on an individual basis as to which essays could be potentially triggering or uncomfortable to them.

Please contact us if you have suggestions as to how to better incorporate trigger warnings into future issues of Hoax.
