Mirena, vedma a nasledovníčka bohyne Chors (lunica na krku) zo série Černokňažník. Také drsné žieňa to bolo. Autor - Lucia Húšťavová

Autor odporúča knihy o histórii Kremnice od Daniela Haasa Kianičku a ja zdieľam rozsah knižnice toho skutočného, o pár dekád mladšieho Barbariča, ktorý inšpiroval vznik toho knižného.

The imperial crown of the Holy Roman Empire (c.962) used from the late 10th century until the dissolution of the empire in 1806. It is now kept in the Imperial Treasury (Kaiserliche Schatzkammer) at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria.

Jak był ten moment w filmie dosłownie krzyknęłam "co kurwa?" będąc w kinie. Przyjaciel mnie uciszał xd

Maria Skłodowska-Curie

Not Marie Curie. Maria Skłodowska-Curie.

Isn't it ironic that she is called a "feminist icon" in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and at the same time her deliberate choice to use her Polish name is not respected? And of course they called her "French" in the movie. Because it's so hard to grasp that she was Polish and just married a French man. And she literally called Polonium after Poland.

It's especially annoying because Poland experienced cultural erasure. Maria was born when Poland wasn't on the maps, and Poles lived under Russian, German and Austrian partitions for 123 years. Same goes for Fryderyk Chopin, who also was born at the occupied Polish territory (to a Polish mother and French father).

Calling Maria Skłodowska-Curie "Marie Curie" is lazy, incorrect and disrespectful, as it erases her identity both as a woman and as a Polish person. It's also a part of a bigger issue of people from the West looking down upon people from the East (some people say Poland is in the Eastern Europe, some say it's in the Central Europe, and as far as I'm concerned, both takes can be defended, but I'm using here the term "East" to include everyone who faces this problem). So yes, there is also some xenophobia in here.

Tl;dr Call this woman her correct name, lazy dumbasses.
