Title: Ushibori Ferry (1930)

Artist: Hasui Kawase

Snow falls as evening settles on a riverbank. A single pilot steers an small open wooden boat across a river, their solitary passenger sheltering under a wide bamboo umbrella. The little ferry is headed toward a small landing on the far side of the river, where a handful of traditional thatched-roof houses crowd in close beneath trees. The houses, the trees, and the fields beyond carry a layer of fresh snow, and snow continues to fall across the scene. Above, the sky is dim and overcast. Apart from a light glowing in the window of one of the houses, the image is rendered in shades of cool blue.

Cute rosy picture of a guillotine with a heart-shaped hole below, standing in a field of flowers with green leaves and pink blossoms. The background is a soft, rosy night with a hollow moon. The vibe is wholesome.

Superimposed on the guillotine is the text "Reward them for the world they created."

If you want some historical context for events in South Korea, check out eps 91-92 of our podcast, about how workers and students overthrew the US-backed dictatorship. While the regime was overthrown, elements of it remained, inc the national security law: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e91-92-south-korea-1987/

#NEVERSAYHISNAME Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice as the next 6 months are going to "get real". 1. Don't use his name; EVER (45 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work, 4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; And 10. Resist! When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration, or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves.

This is my message to women, minorities, LGBTQ+, Disabled people, ect. Ruin their lives, tell on them, show them actions have consequences. Report everything you can, encourage others to do the same. This is my message to cis men, back them up, shame the assholes. Let's stand up for each other. Peer pressure can be used for good.
