Franz Kafka, a Prague-born writer, explored themes of alienation, existential dread, and oppressive bureaucracy in works like The Trial and The Metamorphosis. His writing, often surreal and unsettling, reflects the enigmatic and fragmented nature of modern existence, leaving a lasting impact on literature and philosophy.

What started as a letter, now transcends to being soulmates. Now being a soulmate doesn't means to be romantically involved. Soul seeks another soul to listen, to comfort when needed and just knowing that the other one is there whenever needed. You can call it friends for life or best friends forever.

The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian artifact that played a key role in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. It was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers in the town of Rosetta (Rashid), Egypt, during Napoleon’s campaign. The stone is a granodiorite slab inscribed with a decree issued in 196 BCE during the reign of Pharaoh Ptolemy V. What makes it significant is that the decree is written in three scripts: Hieroglyphs (used for religious and formal inscriptions) Demotic (the common script of daily life in ancient Egypt) Ancient Greek (the language of the ruling class at the time) Since Greek was well understood, scholars—especially Jean-François Champollion in 1822—were able to use it as a reference to finally decode hieroglyphs, unlocking the secrets of ancient Egyptian writing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone

Czechia plays a key role in the conservation of Przewalski’s horse, the last truly wild horse species. Through the Return of the Wild Horses project, Czech conservationists have successfully reintroduced these horses to their native habitats in Mongolia. Prague Zoo, a leader in breeding and reintroduction efforts, has helped transport dozens of Przewalski’s horses back to the wild, strengthening global conservation efforts and restoring ecological balance in their historic range. Doesn't have to be directly Czechia associated, but these horses are very cute and would look wonderful on a stamp imo. Return of the Wild Horses project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_the_Wild_Horses Sending a lot of love to everyone at Slowly! <3

The Czech letter ř is the ultimate linguistic boss fight—half rolling r, half zh sound, and entirely out to confuse foreigners. Even language prodigies (and some native speakers) tremble before it. Want a challenge? Try saying: "Tři sta třicet tři stříbrných stříkaček stříkalo přes tři sta třicet tři stříbrných střech." (Three hundred thirty-three silver fire nozzles were spraying over three hundred thirty-three silver roofs.) Good luck, if you can do it, you deserve a medal! A stamp dedicated to the letter ř, alternatively to the cress plant, which is called řeřicha in Czech. The stamp could depict silver fire nozzles too, as they're part of the well-known tongue twister.
