slavoj zizek email is a mood

jako na FB víceméně nechodím ale občas mi mamka ukáže takovou perlu že "polévka je třeba pórková s krutony" mi teď bude znít v hlavě alepoň tři týdny v kuse

My entire childhood I didn't understand why do people put eye color in the description of other people, or as one of the main attributes of a missing person. Because I thought "Who even notices this? Eyes are too tiny to be paid that much attention to." Fast forward some years later I find out people DO just casually look into everybody's eyes long enough to notice and remember this detail and I'm the autistic odd one who is distracted by the moving mouth. Still funny to think about.

autistic swag is smoking weed while stuffing your face with chips, drinking half and half Arizona, and reading Venus in furs because kink and fetish history is your special interest and the creator of the book Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch is where the term "masochism" came from so you wanna read his work

Tetris effect from work <<<<<<<

Have I ever mentioned here that I enjoy learning about and reading the Austro-Hungarian author and journalist, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch?

I was tagged by @severin-photocopy <3

rules: put your playlist on shuffle, list the first five songs that come up and let people vote on which song they like the most.

I chose the on repeat playlist because I don't really make playlists.

Not tagging but feel free to join if you see this.

(I apologise for my music taste and my lack of care about problematic artists)

every time I read Venus in Furs again and I come to the part where they arrive in Florence I take it so personally. Leopold what do you mean "Suddenly the door is pulled open and the waiter with a theatrical Italian gesture calls [...]"???? Brother he's opening a door. Also "The people are less serious than we; perhaps, they think less, but they all look as though they were happy." please stop Leopold please I am begging you.

long ahh tangent under the cut

and then we could talk here for hours about how Sacher-Masoch fetishezes (pun intended) different cultures and people. He has done it in these examples with Italy but he does something comparable to it in many of his works about Jewish people. Yes, still he was an advocate against antisemism and we should not take that away from him but we need to address how his works do have some pretty blatant antisemitic tropes, here is a good essay about it (academia.edu link and JSTOR link idk which one you prefer). And then obviously the racism in "Venus in Furs" of having black enslaved women as almost "accessories" to the fantasy and the remarks that are written about them which mix racism and misogyny.

sorry rant over y'all can go on with your lives
