Quote
This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.
Walt Whitman, in the Preface to Leaves of Grass

So it's Fathers Day today, and I wanted to draw something for my dad.
My dad has a YouTube channel called NC Tyrant Hunter where he does audits and records the police and government officials in all types of settings.
Whether you like it or not is up to you, but it pays the bills and he enjoys doing it. So I decided to redraw his profile picture for Father's Day. I kind of wish I did something more original, but I'm proud of how this turned out!
Happy Father's Day!

AROWANA TORMENTS THE RAT
Prince Ghas would be a tyrant. This was plain to see. He was spoilt and a scold; he enjoyed beating Lasha the chambermaid's daughter just to see what shapes her bruises would make.

Another linocut plate. I was fairly negative all the time I worked on this: the lino material was kind of powdery; I'd made mistakes in the sketching; the fish looks derpy; the composition is too empty at the bottom; there's not enough detail in the rat; my cuts aren't even or precise enough.
Our fifteen-year-old neighbour Lisa had come over to make linocuts, too. She made a rabbit and a Welsh dragon. She was very tolerant of my constant bellyaching.
"You got to be positive," she said. "It looks good, and you'll be happy when it's done."
And while I'm still not one-hundred-percent happy with it---yeah, I'm happy with my derpy fish.
Linocut 8 of 12.

 “A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb … But we are not helpless … We can sing the truth & name the liars.” We must tell better stories than the tyrants.

"Things were more exciting under Lord Snapcase," someone ventured.
"Yes, right up until the point when your head fell off."
"The trouble is," said Mr. Boggis, "that the job makes people mad. You take some chap who's no worse than any of us and after a few months he's talking to moss and having people flayed alive."
"Vetinari isn't mad."
"Depends how you look at it. No one can be as sane as he is without being mad."
Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down." -- Frederick Douglass
It also gives away who the tyrant with the power is.

If the British or white people hadn't ended slavery would the African chiefs have continued to sell slaves till present day?
British did not end slavery for any reason other than their own need to conquer Africa. Slavery was coming to its natural end because the means of production were changing with industrialization. Do not be so stupid as to assume the British (some of the biggest tyrants in history who had the greatest empire of conquest the world has ever seen) ended slavery our of some humanitarian reasons. Those of us who study slavery know the British allowed (as a means of control) slavery in Nigeria after the so-called end. They even took slaves from the Arabs and landed them in Durban for their own purposes.
It is interesting that after ending slavery something else happened
And the plunder of Africa continued. And continues!

every time they make a new tyrant i think THIS is going to be the one that helps you move heavy machinery or pick up groceries, but it's always another one for doing murders

Yall might hate what I have to say but I don’t care, because the birthrate in America is so fucking low roe v wade happened. And now they are trying to pass project 2025, which is a law that makes it illegal for guardians to travel to other states and have their child get an abortion. They are so fucking desperate for workers they will force actual CHILDREN TO HAVE CHILDREN. And to that I say mass suicide, if they want kids to have kids then we’ll cut out the middle man. Ending not only a future generation but also a current generation. The American government will learn.
