KailØ

Hello, friend,

I'm Antonín. But on the net, you'll mostly find me as Kailo.

Why Kailo? The year is 2007, I boot up WoW for the first time and stare at the hardest screen in the game - name selection. I knew I was picking an identity that would stick with me for a while. I played an Undead, so I was fishing in the depths of the internet and my own mind for something that would fit an undead resurrecting other undead. Out popped "Kailen". It got shortened to Kailo by a female guildmate from our long-dead guild (irony of fate). It caught on, even though it practically doesn't save a single syllable. Today it's my email, my artistic signature, and a name I've answered to for nearly two decades.

And now the essentials - what am I actually about? This will be quick and unfiltered. I've worked in IT for over ten years and I love technology. Hand me Apple Shortcuts and I can absolutely lose myself in building absurdly complex systems for literally anything. At the same time, I live for music, primarily raw underground techno, and I absolutely eat up film studies. I have a decade-long track record of hitting up various film festivals and writing analytical reviews.

Despite all this analytical and technical thinking, I have a university degree in philosophy with an overlap in psychology. Which, given my current situation, is pretty solid irony.

See, I drew the psychiatric bingo: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), ADHD, anxiety-depressive disorder, and soon I'll probably add a paper saying I'm on the spectrum. Living with my neurodivergent brain felt so unnavigable that I tried to pack it in twice. Currently I'm in treatment at Psychiatric Hospital Bohnice, more or less homeless, jobless, and broke AF (lucky for me minimalism is cool these days). I don't have many friends in real life - people usually bore me. On the other hand, I have plenty of digital acquaintances, their attention is apparently keeping me alive.

Oh, and I protect my privacy a lot, but at the same time I'm an absolute chatterbox and an open book who will gladly invite you into my mental mess. Read, explore, ask away.
