It's time for some new WTF Gacha!!!

Starting with some cute animals reenacting Munch's The Scream.

It's actually a good occasion to maybe fix a misunderstanding that's been hindering you for so many years. In The Scream, the person represented is not the one who screams. They're the one hearing the scream and being terrified by it. Look at their facial expression, look at the hands on the sides of the heads.

😱

Now you know, and you're welcome.

My second favourite photo that I took in Oslo is this one, featuring Edvard Munch's The Scream. There are three versions of The Scream that you can see at the Munch Museum, but we didn't go there. We went to the National Museum instead where you can view this version, which is probably the most famous one.

Quite a few people posed in front of the painting for photos, some wore the expression of the person in the painting. It was fun to watch. Would've done the same if I hadn't found it too awkward with the security guard standing so close. 😂

El Grito II, Oswaldo Guayasamin

I was listening to a podcast about Palestine and was reminded again about how sick our world is. Still.

We (humanity) have so much potential, but the tide hasn't turned, we keep digging ourselves deeper toward Hell.

I wonder what it will take to turn the tide. I'm not one of those who believes we're incapable of being better.

I feel like this image gets it right. Deafening sound of hell's bells.

This is what Orange Shirt Day is about. And today, the residential school system lives on in a different form. Indigenous children are still stolen from their families and raised in group homes where they are abused and then, when they age out of the system, many end up on the streets with no supports. The 60s scoop did not end. The racism is systemic. aci-iac.ca/art-books/kent-monk #KentMonkman #TheScream #TruthAndReconciliation #ResidentialSchool #IndigenousMastodon #OrangeShirtDay
