All I want is to hold your hands and feel your nearness. A modest wish? And yet it does not cleave the night and the distance. Franz Kafka, 1913.

So, my dearest girl, it is evening again after a sleepless afternoon, nothing more is written, only to this girl to whom one always wants to write, from whom one always wants to hear, with whom one always wants to be, in whom one would most like to disappear. Franz Kafka, 1912

Someone just dmed me to ask if I was “worried” about attending PRIDE and anti-king parade tomorrow and I want to answer this honestly: I am worried about the world and I am scared by what I see and this is one of the reasons why I will be on the streets with others.
