The cruise ship is sinking. The captain is incompetent and refuses to acknowledge it. The crew knows it, but refuses to abandon the captain. The passengers refuse to act for themselves and instead point fingers at one another or blame the crew. Ship down. All souls lost.

This is for everything, you would think from the news it is Iran who is indiscriminately bombing everyone for now reason and that Israel and the US only do targeted strikes. All while the US/Isrel blow up hospitals and schools with 'pre-emptive' strikes after Iran surrendered.

I finally achieved the kind of artist dream that I really love wherein I am doing my own work in the dream rather than it being a painting of a duck or something. My own art had transcended into the realm of dreams! And then, just as I was putting down the first sketch, my alarm went off 🤦🏻‍♂️
