Speedrunning German Language Because I Have HAVE HAVE To Read Die Drei Kinder Im Herrengarten By Marfa

Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte

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!

Nevermind I am stupid

I'm in a library and I kid you not they have Leopold von Sacher-Masoch by Gilles Deleuze under S, not D. Should I tell them...?

Ferat Vampire | Juraj Herz | 1982

Jirí Menzel, Kveta Straková, Zdenka Procházková

Frankenhooker by Frank Henenlotter.

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

Heart disease!🥰

I still have no idea what Masoch died of
