Controversial abbreviated (per)version of Pamela Allen's classic tale from my childhood. #spoilers

Sadly, this probably wouldn't be considered satire if it was posted on other platforms.

The moral of the story is to get a bigger boat... right?

Three-panel image. First image is the front cover of Pamela Allen's childrens picture book, "Who Sank the Boat?", featuring illustrated donkey and cow each holding an oar in a very small row boat in an anthropomorphised fashion. The boat floats on an abstract body of water. The second panel is a selected clip featuring President Donald Trump sitting next to his Department of War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, who is responding to questions about the recent actions of department members who sank a boat with questionable ethical timing and decisions in the actions taken (this is an attempted apolitical comment respecting due process of investigation). The captions of the video read "[He sunk the boat, and] eliminated the threat. He sunk the boat, sunk the boat, and eliminated [the threat]." The final panel involves a spoiler, and features the illustration found near the end of the story. The picture features a dock on a body of water to the edge of the frame. The boat is barely visible, just the rim is left afloat as the boat is overloaded. Inside the boat feature the cow and donkey as per the cover of the book, now joined with a pig and a sheep. They all look above them, fixated on the tiny mouse that is airborne after having lept of the pier, destined to land on the boat with the others.

I refreshed the leaves for my Spiny-Leaf Stick insects today - tedious but so cathartic!

Great way to procrastinate!
A large desktop insect cage, overflowing with eucalyptus branches with fresh leaves sitting in two volumetric flasks filled with water. Inside the cage also feature 17 Spiny-Leaf Stick insects, native to Australia, of various sizes and ages. Two large insects are prominently hanging from the mesh screen on the top panel of the cage. The foliage is flush and the stick insects can be heard munching on leaves as the water falls off the leaves (sounds are not pictured).
