Ryszard Kaja poster of Słupsk, depicting him and his life partner, Leszek, and dedicated to the latter. Słupsk was chosen specifically because it was first city with an openly gay mayor, Robert Biedroń, one of co-founders of Kampania Przeciw Homofobii.
Kaja is well known for his posters, including a series of ones depicting Polish towns and landmarks, of which the above poster is part of. He sadly passed away in 2019, aged 57. I highly recommend looking up his work.
Year like, 15 of my disabled life, and I now realize that an appropriate word of what I had to do is 'fallow'. like a field. I had to stop trying to grow and just let things rot so I could rest and recover and see what I could some day plant and cultivate.
that trying to grow just meant I diminished myself further. I had to stop, even if it was so painful and frustrating, and let things fade until I could plant and cultivate what wouldn't destroy me further, once I had recovered enough.
