I think what I love about tumblr is that it's asynchronous communication rather than instant, synchronous communication. Sometimes we need that space in between.

St Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish Conventual Franciscan friar most famous for volunteering to die in place of a stranger at Auschwitz. On February 17, 1941, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the Pawiak prison. On May 25, he was transferred to Auschwitz I as prisoner #16670. In July 1941, a man from Kolbe’s barracks vanished, prompting SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Fritzsch, the deputy camp commander, to pick 10 men from the same barracks to be starved to death in Block 13 (notorious for torture) to deter further escape attempts. (The man who had disappeared was later found drowned in the camp latrine.) One of the selected men, Franciszek Gajowniczek, cried out, lamenting his family, and Kolbe volunteered to take his place. During the time in the cell, he led the men in songs and prayer. After three weeks of dehydration and starvation, only Kolbe and three others were still alive. Finally, he was murdered with an injection of carbolic acid on August 14, 1941. He was canonized by the Catholic Church as Saint Maximilian Kolbe on October 10, 1982, by Pope John Paul II, and declared a martyr of charity. He is the patron saint of drug addicts, political prisoners, families, journalists, prisoners and the pro-life movement. Pope John Paul II declared him the “The Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century.” Father Kolbe was beatified as a confessor by Pope Paul VI in 1971 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 10, 1982, in the presence of Franciszek Gajowniczek. Upon canonization, the Pope declared St. Maximilian Kolbe not a confessor, but a martyr. Although the canonization of St. Maximilian Kolbe is uncontroversial, his recognition as a martyr is, given that a Christian martyr is one who is killed in odium Fidei, and Kolbe wasn’t assassinated strictly out of hatred for his faith. He is one of ten 20th-century martyrs from across the world who are depicted in statues above the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, London. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChPRbMxO0DN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
小学生の頃に読んだインターネットの本とか教科書だと「これまでは出会うこともろくにできなかった世界中の見知らぬ人たちと気軽に話し合えるんだよ!」と凄いポジティヴに書かれていたけど、一生関わる筈がなかった人と触れ合えるっていうの、実際なってみるとネガティブなことばっかなんだよな。

16670 To everyone about the Alissa/Agonist drama, Alissa has been getting more recognition. Not only is she the vocalist in a more popular/successful band, but she has also been featured in Kamelot songs, a Delain song, and even in the Karmaflow soundtrack. All of this wouldn't have happened without her being mistreated. In my eyes, success is the best revenge. Proud of you Alissa!
