Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/summer 2007

None of these words are in 120 Days of Sodom

As we celebrate 106 years since the formation of Czechoslovakia today, one of the most important moments in our history, I want to say how much I appreciate how much we are still close, even after 3 decades of having separate countries.

I love how we refer to each other as brothers.

I love that we are the first countries for every new president and the last country for every leaving president to visit.

I love that whenever there is any disaster, we are always among the first countries to offer each other help.

I love how many events, competitions, etc. we hold together.

I love how much cultural space we share.

I love how often I still hear people from both countries say how we never should have separated when meeting people from the other country, even to strangers.

I admit that I used to take so much of this for granted and it's only in recent years that I realized that this is sadly not a usual way to get along after countries separate, especially after seeing how some countries (russia) treat their neighbors, or learning more about how tragic some separations were, like with former Yugoslavia for example. This just makes me appreciate so much more how we managed to separate in a completely civil way and keep our relations so strong.

May it always be so!

Veritas vincit! And happy anniversary to us all!

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity

i think its funny how facial scars are seen as like a major character plot point where they reveal that someone tried to kill their dad or something when i know a ton of ppl (including myself) who have facial scars bc they rlly arent uncommon and all of them are like. from tripping and falling as a toddler

Some are calmer and it's just something that pulls me closer to certain things. But I love some special interests so much that when anything even remotely related to it is mentioned, the excitement breaks the scale and turns into physical pain. Full body reaction, discomfort with vague pain in my chest. So filled with joy that I burst and it turns into misery again. But special interests give my life a meaning and were almost always the reason why I chose not to kms.

My special interests feel like they are studying themselves on their own while things that don't interest me are sometimes impossible to study. Often when I'm researching a SI, questions start spawning in my mind and they spiral to the point where finding the answer becomes impossible and I become frustrated. It's like I'm trying to zoom in to an infinitely small point that I know I'll never get to, but it still hurts.

autistic people: what does having a special interest feel like to you?

(and if u want to say, what is your current special interest?)

I´m forcing everyone to rewatch/watch this monologue. You have to. I´m sorry, it´s not optional.

“But that wasn’t really speech, that was an eloquent moaning, a weeping of a sick mortally sick soul.”
