Very minor. Early in the comic, a character drops a weight on her toe and within a few days the toenail falls off.

(Spoilers) Not sure if it counts as "squashed" - a character is killed with a hammer to the head. Later, another character has nightmares about it, with the hammer in the head being very prominent.

not really/but some things may be similar enough to be upsetting (spoilers beyond)
scenes of a deceased character’s life and death are shown as a living character goes through her house, but it’s more of a flashback. while initially it’s unclear what is happening, a character hallucinates or perhaps develops a dissociative introject of someone comatose, who eventually dies of wounds.

Police are generally regarded by the cast as untrustworthy if not outright dangerous. Later storylines further back this up.

A couple characters exhibit unusual eating habits, some of which could potentially qualify as disordered (such as usually only eating so many ingredients or manually separating ingredients in food), but no characters have anything resembling weight/image-related eating disorders.

Several characters could easily come across as having PTSD, some from events prior to the comic, some from the events of the comic.

An antagonistic character sometimes misgenders a trans woman character, though no other characters act similarly towards her. Another very minor trans girl character is regularly misgendered due to being in the closet.

A major theme of the comic is the protagonist's Christian upbringing, her enthusiasm for it as a child, and the eventual complication of these feelings as she grows up and begins to see her old community in new lights.

In a particularly heavy scene, a character's homophobic parent brings a gun to campus in an attempt to force her to come home. Characters are shot at, but none are hit during the scene. A later gun death is implied off-screen.
