When my professor starts lecturing on one of my special interests
what pride flag is this (wrong answers only)
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.
Me trying to explain my interests to my friends be like:
Can I complain about something? The Masoch café in Lviv and it's stupid statue makes me so mad. It is the sensationalization and dehumanization of his person materialised into a physical object. They are so thirsty for tourist money they made a statue of a dead person where you can feel it's genitals. He would have fucking HATED this, why are they so selfish. Imagine if they did this with any other person, I don't think that would be recieved quite well. He is not a person in the eyes of society, just a freak show to gawk at. Before I discovered Masoch there was still this false hope in me that believed in humanity but learning stuff about him was the final nail in the coffin for it. How he was trying to better this world but society who on one hand judged him for his fetish also didn't want to hear about ANYTHING else. How he naively believed that hatred comes from a lack of education, how he supported rural education and worked against antisemitism and all that stuff and nobody gave a f. He probably couldn't even have imagined the atrocities that happened only a few decades after his death. What he could not prevent despite his efforts. Because people are by nature rotten. I witness the future he didn't live to see and think, what unimaginable horrors are in the future from now? Humanity cannot be saved if it doesn't want to save itself. All I feel is disgust and misanthropy.
If you have a stockpile you are an addict
Btw you have to refill on the same day you run out of medication
Btw you will have seizures and possibly die if you miss your medication
Btw the pharmacy will not order your medication in advance of the one day you are allowed to call and refill it
But you are an addict who should be criminalized if you have a few days stockpiled so you don’t have a seizure and die.
This is a normal way to treat disabled people who need medication that keeps them from dying.
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!
Just finished crying about Gukesh winning, now I'm crying about Ding losing😭
