#Bear Witness

'I was completely carried away, I was laid low by that love, you saw that, you had the evidence of all your senses. I was yours, yours, yours.'

Decided to have a go at drawing the Elden Ring today. Bf got me hooked on the game and I've been playing it every weekend for the past 4 or 5 weeks. Seriously, it's an amazing game.

I know the Elden Ring I drew looks super wonky, but it's not easy to draw 4 perfect circles.

Okaaaayyy but Midoriya planning all day to tell Bakugou that he loves him, and obsessively saying it over and over again in his head, "I love you Kacchan. I love you Kacchan." And how hes gonna lead into it, or what kind of smile should accompany it, and if he should reach out and grab Bakugous hand or if that was too much. And they have a nice little relaxed date that night and Bakugou cooks him his favorite meal and hes having fun but is also sweating nervously trying to figure out when to say it, and hes eating his meal and goes "Mm, i love Katsuki- don! Katsudon, i meant i love katsudon, ha, ha-" and Bakugou chokes a bit on his own food when he hears that but quickly and easily recovers, interrupting Midoriyas stuttering to say "i love you too. Now eat your damn food before it gets cold." And so he does, and he feels relieved to have finally gotten it out, and to hear it repeated back, confidently

FIRST THEY CAME – BY PASTOR MARTIN NIEMÖLLER

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

I just spent five minute looking through the stories, and that is all it took for me to get a headache. FIVE MINUTES is all it took for me to feel so much pain for what I am witnessing that I am now reaching for painkillers.

I saw a man picking scraps of meet and putting them in body bags.

Not bodies, or limps, scraps of meat.

How can anyone look at what is happening and think this is okay, or a necessary evil.

The most I can get out of myself is two hours of productivity a day, yet there are people who are posting their coffee orders, and the pretty flower they saw on their hike as if things are okay.

A genocide is being broadcasted as we speak and people are looking away, as if they are checking out of participating in a trend.

Just how divorced from your humanity do you need to be to think that this is something you can ignore?

It was an artist's work to be attuned to everything that surrounded him, even when it was easier not to notice—to let suffering define one's life.

I try to remember to post this every year on 20 July.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
