As an adult you must cultivate the skill of “Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.”
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!
A lot of patients of the psychiatrist referenced Sacher-Masoch when telling him about their kinks. They would be like "I like women who hit me and wear fur coats, just like the one in Sacher-Masoch's Venus in furs". During his time Masoch was also famous so his work must have been a lot of people's "awakening" too. He did not write under pseudonyms when he probably should have for his own sake so the poor guy stood no chance.
The term "sadism" as it comes from the Marquis de Sade was already being used in France so Krafft-Ebing only borrowed it, he only really made up "masochism". He also corresponded with a different psychiatrist who independently of him started using "passivism" to describe masochistic urges and Krafft-Ebing was like interesting however I will keep using masochism and now here we are.
learned today (after googling it upon seeing the "Sadomasochism Brothers" post) that masochism was named by a psychiatrist who had read Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's erotic writing and was like "I feel safe in concluding that this man had Fucked-Up Freak Sex Disorder, which now until forever will bear his name", while von Sacher-Masoch was still alive. there are accounts of von Sacher-Masoch being like "bro what the fuck" about this
This is a work of art
my favorite divorce ever. my emotional support heterosexual divorced couple.
two extremely traumatized, messy, insane, unable to communicate, immature, petty yappers.
I love them so much.
RPF is never okay. Unless Masoch does it.

I'll be walking to some shitty part of the city where I've never been before and on my way I just randomly pass by the most unique church I've ever seen. And this happened last week too, with a different church.
even the top gets called a faggot
New day, new social failiures
