Paul Matthews and Emma Perkins are everything to me. They are soulmates and find each other in every universe but they almost never get past the awkwardly flirting stage before the world ends. They are both losers. They find each other every time an apocalypse commences. They are the only normal people in the whole universe. They are doomed by the narrative. They hate musicals. He tips her 5 dollars and she spits on everyones coffee. They are Orpheus and Eurydice coded. They are a spark that never turns into fire. They are intimate but don't like labels. They are the only constant thing in every timeline. They are what it could have been but never meant to be. They meet in that coffee shop again and again forever. He'll order a black coffee and she'll ask him for his name. And the loop will start all over again.

poems about Laika (the soviet space dog)

i’ve been hunting for one in specific, and during my quest, i have seen that very many beautiful poems about this creature have been written. I wanted to compile them.

“first dog in space” by brennig davies / “They say that, from space, the Earth looks like a small, blue ball. I’ll throw it for you, Laika, if you’ll chase it, dart through the stratosphere like a comet, undeserving of its fate.”

“laika” by claire williamson / “for three hours she was weightless, pulse racing, but ate her dinner, alive to see an orbital sunrise.”

“laika” by adnana zeljkovic / “Paddling with her soft paws in inimical vacuum, (nothing to draw you to your bosom like Mother Earth’s gravitation) herself soft snowflake,”

“laika” by paul gerard reed / The stars that shone have all gone out as man betrayed your trust, but your spirit is still in place somewhere, out there in space.

“laika” by dave lewis / “But when you gave me that final kiss on the nose I suppose deep down inside I knew my destiny lay among the stars. Alone, in silence, I watched the world spinning round, one thousand miles below.“

“i remember laika” by jan oskar hansen / “The farewell can’t be delayed a boy has run to the outer field sits on a stone tries not to cry the struggle to accept the unavoidable.”

“muttnik” by tumblr user @fateology / “I don’t mind. I just miss you. I miss you like the space that lies between two breaths. Full to burning.”

“for the first dog in space” by lavinia greenlaw / “Laika, do not let yourself be fooled by the absolute stillness that comes only with not knowing how fast you are going. As you fall in orbit around the earth, remember your language. Listen to star dust. Trust your fear.”

“laika” by sarah doyle / “Brave little cosmonaut, caught and collared, Earth no more than a distant ball with which you cannot play.”

“laika” by adrian sobol / “If there is light, it’s pressing down on you. Something stirs inside it.”

“first the dog” by zbigniew herbert / “awkwardly we bump into stars / we see nothing we hear nothing / we beat with out fists on the dark ether / on all the wavelengths is a whining”

you are welcome to add more poems to this post if you have any in mind to recommend.

Dear friends,

I have decided to start a political party eqiuvalent of Monarchisté.cz, but the exact opposite.

*for the uninitiated Monarchisté.cz is the czech political party, whose goal is to reinstate the Habsburg family as a hereditary monarchy. This However, only for the area of the current Czech Republic, without any of the rest of the former empire or even Austria.

The goal my new party is to renew the Czech Confederation along its borders from the years 1620-1621.*

*the only year it existed

Thus reuniting the historical lands of the Czech crown (Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Lusatia/Lausitz/Łužica/Łužyca, and the Palatinate/Oberpfalz/Horní Falc) as Confederal Counties (CCs) and equal partners within a mutually beneficial confederation.

The following is the Party Program I've come up with so far:

• Confederation entails a unified financial system; military; and diplomatic and trade relations, as well as intercompatible educational systems and digitalized beurocracies within each CC.

• The Czech Confederation would take the place of the current Czech Republic on the international stage (its places in the EU and V4 for example).

• Executive power in the Czech Confederation would remain in the hands of a Primeminister and his cabinet. Each CC, having its own political system, would still be forced to call whoever held executive power within it a fun feudal title, like Count or Margrave, instead of Head Minister and such.

• Internationally the Czech Confederation would be represented by a "Winter King", elected by the Counts/Margraves/etc. of each CC. This King, in leau of tradition of the first Winter King, would be forced to abdicate his throne every November. Immediately voting him back into office would be permissable, if the heads of the CCs wished so. (Yes, this is exactly the same role as the curent czech President but with a swaggier title and more ceremony).

• In order to achieve one of the goals of the first Czech Confederation, i.e. prevent Bohemian (bzw. Czech) hegemony within the confederation, while still allowing Prague to be its capital, Prague residents will be stripped of all voting rights, but for the ones in local elections. The only way around this will be for Prague residents to marry into out of Prague families, thus gaining perspective on the world and a non-prague registration allowing them to vote.

• No one (1) official language. All official languages recognized by the CCs will be official languages of the state. This will not only create a massive new translating apparatus and jobs, but also allow for each CC to foster local languages in a new way. The consequences of this:

- i guess moravian is a language now

- since the Silesias currently under the rule of the CZ and of Poland would be united into one CC, it will be left up to them fight about a unified writing system or wtf else they will want to do.

- more than 1 (one) Sorbian gymnasium

- the good people of the Palatinate won't be forced to speak Hochdeutsch anymore. I'm sure this will make them support anexation. Unfortunately, if successful, this might make the rest of current Bavaria so jealous, that they also separate from Germany. If events come to pass in this order, it is inevitable that Bavaria would want to reannex the Palatinate, which could lead to a war lasting generations or to the end of a fun experiment, we shall see.

• I refuse to make Protestantism the official state religion, like the OG Czech Confederation did. However, I 100% will knock down the Mariánský sloup/Mariensäule* on Old Town Square in Prague again.

*built in the 1650s to mark the victory of the Habsburgs and Catholicism over the Czech lands; knocked down in 1918 after the declaration of the independent Czechoslovak state by a very funnily orchestrated crowd, to symbolize freedom from the Habsburgs; rebuilt in 2022 after 30 years of lobbying by the Catholic church as part of a package for the "Revitalisation of the Old Town Square".

I do plan on leaving the pedestal there this time though, because it really is the best place to sit in that entire area.

• INFRASTRUCTURE:

This kind of confederation would require a massive expansion of long distance public transport, and possibly one that actually works. Swiftly realised impactful projects being the key to the success of new states, I plan two key projects to boost my popularity through their quick completion.

Firstly, we shall expand the Brno Airport. Making it the new main Airport of the Czech Confederation, it shall be renamed to Brno Expanded Runway (BER) to honor its humble beginings.

The second required infrastructure project is the long needed tunnel under the Giant Mountains/Krkonoše/Karkonosze/Riesengebirge to connect Bohemia, Lusatia and Silesia. Since the technology and design of tunnels such as these, are based on those of the Mont Blanc tunnel, I propose to czechify a callback to its origins by calling this project Tunel Blanka. I'm sure the speed of the completion of these infrastructure projects will boost the legitimacy of my new state :)

On a more strategic note, I think I have the support of most current residents of the Czech Republic outside of Prague, and can especially mobilize the conservative vote on my no-votes-for-praguers platform. I am similarly convinced I have the support of all sorbians as well as all the silesian members of the polish facebook group "Wypowiedzmy wojnę Czechom i im się poddajmy" (Let's declare war on the czechs and then surrender to them). I am only unsure on the Pfälzer, because they may feel too much loyalty to bavaria at this point.

I also need to infiltrate a german political party, in order to get them to support my plans without knowing, that that's what they're actually doing. This is in order for Germany not to get mad about the whole anexing parts of it part. My roommate said this would be easiest to do with the SPD.
