At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.” Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home. A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written: “Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”

Except this is not what studying looks like, and I am sick and tired of the internet pretending that it does. Let me tell y'all something. Studying is maddening, okay? It is a pursuit of fanatically trying to understand something that you, for some inexplicable reason cannot seem to move on from. It is the single most devastating as well as rewarding thing that you can take up, IF you are truly trying to get something done. Devastating since at the extreme, it is THE Most lonely undertaking a human can take up. You will drown yourself in texts that were authored far before your bloodline existed, in thoughts that make no damn sense to anyone but to you, and you cannot explain them to those few who are willing to listen because you are not sure about them yourself. Speaking of thoughts - the bastards that they are. I am convinced that they are the only entity in the world that moves faster than the speed of fucking light. And for a mind that's fanatic enough, it is a struggle to keep a hold of the freight-train that ravages through you every time you encounter something new. And the cruel part? The name of the game is to hold on to the single thought that you have as a thousand more flood in. To give it the time that it deserves, the patience that it needs, but oh well, there's a thousand more that are demanding the very same. You try and write it down, because it helps, but what happens when your hands cannot match your brain? You go insane. You try and distract yourself, "Maybe I am tripping, it's not that deep." NO IT IS THAT FUCKING DEEP. But when it all comes together, when those thousand thoughts do indeed get processed, when it all forms ONE beautiful symphony that we call a body of work, the brink of insanity suddenly seems worth reaching and staying at. So no. Studying is not all about having a Starbucks coffee with a MacBook that has cute PDFs open, or a stack of messy books, or neatly written notes that are Pinterest-worthy, or a dimly lit room with motherfuckers dressed in the most immaculate fashion that they can find trying to talk about their experiences. And I am so done with the internet trying to make it that fucking way. FIGHT ME.

In queste ore la destra ha trovato un nuovo nemico da mettere alla gogna: Tomaso Montanari. Il motivo? Queste parole qui, pronunciate due giorni fa da Montanari sul Referendum. “Volete avere ancora come padri e madri costituenti Teresa Mattei, Piero Calamandrei, Giuseppe Dossetti, Giorgio La Pira, Terracini, Nilde Iotti o preferite Giorgia Meloni, Carlo Nordio, Ignazio La Russa, Francesco Lollobrigida? Comprereste una Costituzione usata e manomessa da questi banditi? Io no, ed è per questo che voto ‘no’”. Di tutta questa (sacrosanta) analisi, l’unica cosa che ha piccato e offeso la destra è essere stati definiti da Montanari “banditi”. I giornali di destra si sono scatenati contro di lui. Fratelli d’Italia ne ha chiesto con la bava alla bocca le dimissioni immediate da rettore dell’Università per stranieri di Siena. Addirittura il Presidente del Senato Ignazio Benito Maria La Russa lo ha appena minacciato di querelarlo se non si scuserà, fingendo pure goffamente di non conoscerlo, classica delegittimazione ad personam di chi ormai ha esaurito ogni argomento. Poi, poco fa, per fortuna, ci ha pensato Montanari stesso a replicare per filo e per segno alle accuse di La Russa e soci. E sono parole di rara potenza e cultura storica, a certi soggetti totalmente sconosciuta. “Tutta la fascisteria – dai camerieri nei giornali, fino ai federali della provincia e ora financo l’orgoglioso proprietario del busto del ‘funesto ciarlatano iracondo’ – insorge, insulta, chiede dimissioni e minaccia querele. Immagino che tutto questo nervosismo si debba al ‘Sì’ in svantaggio. Loro non si sono mai riconosciuti in questa Costituzione e in questa Repubblica. Nel suo primo discorso da presidente del Consiglio Meloni dice di sé: ‘Provengo da un’area culturale che è stata spesso confinata ai margini della Repubblica’ Ecco il punto: i fascisti sono stati banditi dalla Costituzione, e lo dicono. Banditi, messi al bando, messi fuori legge, estromessi. Loro chiamavano ‘banditi’ i partigiani: ma i banditi, dal primo gennaio 1948 e finché questa Costituzione dura, sono loro. Ed è esattamente per questo che si impegnano tanto per farla cadere. E poi i banditi sono quelli che agiscono fuori dalle regole e contro le regole: ed è del tutto evidente il banditismo politico di chi si impegna così tanto per distruggere la regola delle regole, la Costituzione della Repubblica. Che la seconda carica dello Stato trovi tempo e parole per una cosa del genere ormai non stupisce, visto che si occupa perfino dei comici di Sanremo e si intrattiene maschiamente sull’avvenenza fisica delle giornaliste. Che la seconda carica dello Stato minacci un cittadino per una opinione liberamente espressa e argomentata in una campagna referendaria, questo invece è grave: e ci dice a che punto siamo. E cosa ci giochiamo con questo referendum: la Costituzione antifascista, che per sempre li ha banditi”. Solidarietà totale all’amico Tomaso Montanari per quello che sta subendo. E stima profonda. Resistere! Resistere! Resistere! Come su un’irrinunciabile linea del Piave.

people who have been begging for old disney animated should not be sleeping on this i mean look at how beautiful it is

if you're an indie creator you NEED to be moving like Toby Fox: - do not talk to fans. at all. - maintain almost complete radio silence unless there's an announcement to be made - out of absolutely nowhere, reference fandom brainrot memes to completely break the fans' minds

First, do no harm. If you can help it. #pathologic

I love this message because it’s acknowledging you can’t change some people’s minds no matter how nice or patient you are with them

Another thing. A characteristic experience of autism is being a perpetual outsider and being “othered” on an intangible plane. Many autists don’t dress “weird” or have “weird” interests… they’re “weird” on an essential level; rejected for invisible reasons that can’t be explained
