President Franjo Tudjman of Croatia at the outbreak of war with Yugoslavia blamed the tragedy of the Croatian nation on “women, pornography and abortion,” calling women who have abortions “mortal enemies of the nation.” Their acts are appalling as they hinder “the birth of little Croats, that sacred thing which God has given society and the homeland.” Women who have not given birth to at least four children are scolded as “female exhibitionists” who have not fulfilled their unique “sacred duty.‘

Women and the Radical Right: Ethnocracy and Body Politics, Julie Mostov

Stumbled onto this quote while doing preliminary thesis research and Croatian politics is wild as hell. This is the guy we named an airport after :)))

The fact that this gross man hated my mum by name is something we’re so proud of as a family

Zagreb Pride 2017

#uselesslgbtfacts #zagreb #lgbt

On that note, regarding that LGBT+ post, I’d need some help with posting anything related to LGBT+ community in Croatia. I have to admit that’s a part I’m not very up to date with or as informed, because I don’t really look into Croatian media or have a reliable sources. So if any of you guys have anything you think it’s important to be posted on this blog, pls tag me in it or submit it or IM me so we can discuss or you can inform me ( i will make a shout out to you if you want ) but pls make sure the info is 100% accurate and true.

Hi everyone!

Pride month commemorates the Stonewall riots in the US. My dashboard is full of posts about US LGBT icons, US LGBT events and so on. But what about the rest of the world?

This is why some admins and I have decided to make another “challenge” in the next couple weeks, where we post about LGBT facts from our countries. The struggle for acceptance is by far not unique to the US, and there are many stories to be told about LGBT history in other countries.

Here are some suggestions about what you can post:

Pride parades in your country (photos, gifs, videos…)

Important historical and contemporary LGBT people from your country

Movies or art about LGBT people, or LGBT history in your country

Important events for the LGBT community (legal/political decisions, riots, parades etc.)

LGBT history of your country

LGBT language (how to express gender neutrality, vocabulary lists about sexual orientations, genders etc)

LGBT groups in your country, where to meet LGBT people,

Of course, people that aren’t part of ucf are also happy to join, it would be great if you can submit posts, tag admins of the corresponding country, or just simply tag the posts with #uselesslgbtfacts.

Happy pride everyone!

OKO cookies.

BITE ART are unique art-cookies created by an artist Ana Šerić as a part of her “Edible art” project and aimed to promote Croatia in a single but impressive product. They are traditional pepper cookies, made by original recipe and with recognizable flavor thanks to perfectly balanced combination of no less than ten exotic spices. But what takes these cookies to a whole new level is the fact that they are adorned with edible art reproductions of paintings by emerging young Croatian artists, as well as well-known masterpieces that stood the test of time. Moreover, after enjoying the cookies you are left with the box that doubles as a picture frame for art reproductions - a nice memento that enriches your home. Taste the cookies and acquire the taste for Croatian art at the same time with this exclusive interactive souvenir that affects your senses and touches your heart.

Croatia as a dragon :3

some Croatian phrases and sayings, explained and translated to English by yours truly:

having a long tongue (imati dugi jezik) - refers to a person that can’t keep anything a secret and who will blab out whatever you tell them

to receive a little basket (dobiti košaricu) - to be dumped

you weren’t born on a boat (nisi se rodio na brodu) - this is said to people who don’t close the door after entering a room

a thunder won’t strike into stinging nettles (neće grom u koprive) - something is unlikely to happen

thirteenth pig (trinaesto prase) & fifth wheel (peti kotač) - unwanted, unneeded person, same as fifth wheel in English

to hold a candle (držati svijeću) - to be a third wheel to somebody

Hmm but how are those exactly pronounced? I always Reblog this kind of posts but none explains in depth

kittyinhighheels

@marril96 can you help?

marril96

I’m bad at helping people with pronounciation. This is as close as I can get:

imati dugi jezik - eemati doogi yezik

dobiti košaricu - dobiti kosharitzu

nisi se rodio na brodu - neesee se rodio na brodu

neće grom u koprive - neche grom uh koprive

trinaesto prase - treenaesto prase

peti kotač - peti kotach

držati svijeću - drzhati svijechu

@useless–croatiafacts Help?

useless--croatiafacts

trinaesto prase - teenaesto praseeh

I just wanna add for people who want to read our special characters.

š - sh, like sheep č - tch, like stitch ć - ch, like chocolate đ - like 'j' in jeep dž - like 'dge' in bridge ž - like 'j' in Jacques lj - like the 'll' in tortilla nj - like the 'gne' in lasagne
