Potsdamite Morgenpost

I wanted to ask german speakers who have read what little fritz wrote in german-- does the way he use the language indicate a lack of comfort with it, in the sense that it's often misspelled and grammatically "jumbled"? Do you remember specific things in his writing which indicate this? Sorry if this is a weird question, but I'm curious about it and I'm veeeeery early into my whole learning german journey so I can't judge for myself

momentarily had the thought “shout out to my platonic harem” and then remembered that’s called friends

Have you looked into fred's letters to august friedrich eichel? He seems to have been another important minister-type...

people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.

Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼
