I was gonna just repost an old one again this year, but then I was up at 4 am because I can’t sleep ever and I was just thinking about how fucking frustrated I am constantly. Seeing dead babies every day, dead women, dead men. Wounded people who are being denied medical care. People who are being deprived of food. Watching children and their mothers mine cobalt for our stupid phones. Watching Sudan since 2019, seeing people’s attention to it evaporate for 3 years - and then when people are trying to pay attention again - there still being barely any coverage. Living in a country that once again - after 236 years - failed to 1. Give Indigenous Australians a voice (or the bare minimum of one) and 2. Refuses to get rid of a day that is literally celebrating the first day of colonisation, slavery, and genocide in Australia. I hate it here. I don’t even know what words to use to describe this shit anymore except evil. It’s all so evil. And it all just repeats. The cycle seems to never end. 4:37 am and I started drawing this artwork. I’m so tired (not just from lack of sleep) and all I can think to do, all I want to do is scream and yell and cry. I’ve done the crying but it’s 4:37 am so I’m not gonna scream and yell, but I thought I might draw someone that can do it for me. There’s no pride in genocide, a statement as relevant as ever. Burn it all down - fuck the colony - fuck the colonisers - fuck this system that kills literally everyone but the 1% - FUCK THIS SEEMINGLY NEVER ENDING REPEATING CYCLE THAT IS COLONISATION AND GENOCIDE AGAINST BLACK, BROWN, AND INDIGENOUS BODIES. THE CYCLE MUST STOP. NEVER AGAIN.
