I’m interested in hearing people’s interpretations of “One is breaking through, the other just hangs.” Is it the man who is hanging, executed as a tyrannical officer would perhaps desire, or the hope and innocence of the boy being destroyed?

I love the way their coats are drawn. They look so fluffy.

Oh that’s true. I’ve seen a lot of cancel/call-out documents archived on IA, some of which were directed at children or had false accusations on them. It would be funny but not that surprising if all of this was over obscure Twitter drama.

It is, of course, a tragic and beautiful poem on its own, but another thing I find interesting is that it’s been translated into a ton of languages, so if you speak another language, you can see for yourself how translation changes a work: https://ifimustdie.net/

The Malay version rhymes, for some reason. And there are quite a few small changes in meaning: the line “bringing back love” is changed to “bringing back a love that had left”, presumably for the rhyme to work.

I looked it up, it’s when remote workers go on vacations without telling anyone.

He could have set it up at the start of the class using information from past years.

The “near death experience” heading being messier supports this. I imagine this was the first time that happened, so he added that in the middle of class.

That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue that people are obviously paying attention to, vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.

Why would knowing about taxes a few years earlier make you rebellious?

The trees on the right have artefacts on the lit parts. The sky has these nonsensical white lines that you would usually associate with the underside of clouds, except they’re not attached to any clouds. The pink fluffy clouds on the right overlap each other in weird ways.

And I think what made me immediately think AI on a first look is the strange colours. The top half uses a very warm, low-contrast palette but then you get to the bottom and suddenly there’s tons of green and blue. Not to shit on OP but it’s a very “beginning artist” choice for a work that is clearly not made by a beginning painter.
