(Drawings were made on February 28th of this year) Maria deserves everything in this world and I'm truly glad Interpreter exists. The ending of the failed escape still evokes too much emotion and thoughts in me.. Named the guy Oscar Balmont between. He has respiratory failure.

it's actually Maria Skłodowska-Curie please respect her wishes and heritage :) Karolina Żebrowska (YouTube) has a great video on why you should care if you need more information (it's in English)

I recommend this video, not only because it's very informative to non-Polish people, but also Karolina says "Skłodowska" so much that you will probably know how to pronounce it from now on.

I already wrote a post about my a bit rewritten version of Emma, ​​so now it’s the turn of the ideological continuation, where I will describe my vision of such a fruit as Evan Redgrave. As it’s not difficult to guess, I also quite like him.

So, Evan is a communicative and very charming comrade, what he knows and knows how to use, a good and diligent worker. This is a rare case when I consider a character to be an ambivert, and not one of the two extremes. In some matters he is naive ("You know, you seem to be a smart man - you made up your way to the top, after all. And yet you still don’t get some very simple things. Strange.”), periodically managing for this reason to fall under someone’s influence. By the standards of his state, his moral principles are higher than local norms. He thinks about those around him, periodically questions some things from their world order (remember his conversations with visitors on the 1st floor, when in dialogues with them he said things that a player in his place could say, but not any representative of their society. Or his “will I remain human after this?”-or-something-like-this phrase at the beginning of the game), but does not always develop ideas on this matter in his head, and most often strives to take a position in life that would be most favorable for all parties involved. However, there is also a catch here - Redgrave is capable of violence and crimes if he is convinced that his actions have good intentions or will lead to a positive outcome (or, again, out of simple-minded naivety), sometimes sincerely justifying what he condemned from the outside. I don’t think that he became like that in the Ministry, after all, “we live in a country partial to suffering” - his words, not mine, and it would be strange not to get used to it as any part of everyday life, so we end up with a hypocritical, dangerous, but pleasant young man, a kind of chaotic antihero.

Most likely he must go through some developmental arcs and mental changes over the course of history, but:

a) I haven’t thought it through yet

And

b) I just like this concept. Maybe it’s good if he remains like this from beginning to end, without fundamentally reconsidering himself, but only changing his attitude towards certain things and people.

insane how they in beetlejuice beetlejuice used maria skłodowska curie as a feminist example by not using her full name and then erased her nationality she really cared about only because he married a french man. IN THE SAME SENTENCE. its honestly breathtaking

[marauderswolf22]

Instead of a normal tag game im often doing, let's do this because im so tired of this as a pole myself

This woman is Maria Skłodowska-Curie, not Marie Curie. She was polish, she was born in Warsaw. After she married her husband she kept her maiden name because she loved poland and wanted to be known as a polish female scientist. She made sure to learn her daughters polish. She named one of the two elements she discovered polonium after her homeland!!!

Calling her french, not saying her maiden name (okay I know it can be hard to pronouce but just try to say sklodowska), changing her name for it to sound french, it's like you're erasing a part of her, a part that was so important to her. Most of her life Poland was not even on the maps, it didn't theoretically exist under partitions. She was growing up in a time that was full of romantic patriotism. During the first world war she helped to train polish nurses, she wanted to help her country with the knowledge she had.

In 1915, she signed, along with Henryk Sienkiewicz (a famous polish writer) and Ignacy Jan Paderewski (pianist and social activist/civic leader (i can't find the right word)), a proclamation published in the press calling for contributions to the General Committee for Aid to War Victims in Poland, founded in Vevey.

After the war, when poland was reborn, she wrote a letter to her brother saying: “So, born in slavery, fertilized in the womb, we will see the rebirth of our homeland that we dreamed of. We had no hope that we would see this moment ourselves, we thought that maybe our children would see it. But this moment has come for us. Like you, I believe in our future"

During her stay in the USA, Maria used her collected money to buy a gram of radium, which was very expensive at that time, and donated it to Poland so that the Radium Institute in Warsaw could be launched. She did much more, but I listed just this.

Please stop trying to erase her origin, disconnect her country from her

im tagging so that more people can read this, im constantly seeing "Marie Curie" and i hope i can change it even just a little (and it's a no pressure tag ofc): @vellichorius @brokendoor16 @crikey01 @kurt-cobain-is-jesus-in-disguise @midnights-dragon

[fernlessbastard]

Oh btw, it's Maria SKŁODOWSKA Curie<333

She was a Polish woman<333

She MARRIED a french guy<333

She KEPT HER FOREIGN, "DIFFICULT" MAIDEN NAME (as in, combined, but bro. It was 19th/20th century. She kept it on fucking purpose cause it sure as fuck wasn't the standard.)

Your misinformed misogynistic arses can keep calling her "Marie Curie" and claiming she was french once POLONIUM turns out to have actually always been named frenchum or some shit<3333333

Say I'm overreacting all you want, but Polish people have been unironically CHRONICALLY fucking erased from scientific research and discoveries etc throughout history, AND you're literally just erasing a woman's life, history, and heritage of which she was proud, and just defining her by a man she was married to. It's especially absolutely fucking disgusting when you've got her story erased and rewritten to show a girl's a "nerd and feminist and smart".

Fuck off.

Do better.

Maybe it’s a silly thing to get annoyed about but the way so many Irish names get anglicised because people just. ignore the fadas? Brian (br-eye-an) and Brían (bree-an) are not pronounced the same. Rónán Hession? Yeah that’s not Ro-nan Hess-ee-un. Ro-nawn Hesh-shn. Ciarán and Ciaran are similarly slightly different (kier-rawn vs kier-ran).

And that’s not even touching on people just dropping the fadas for no reason. Sean is not pronounced the same as Seán (or Séan for that matter). Sinead, Roisin, Aine, Blaithin, Oisin, Brid, Grainne, Meabh, Caolan, Cuan Orla, Una, Donal, Rian, Ruairi - they’re not Irish names. They are, to a very slight degree, anglicised. I know that some electronic systems don’t allow for accents on letters but why? Many, many languages use accents and those names are also incorrect without them. Mihăilescu and Mihailescu are not pronounced the same. Skłodowska and Sklowdowska are not the same. The letters are not the same. An accent isn’t just a pretty addition to a letter - in most languages it is an entirely separate letter. Electronic systems should be set up to recognise these variances. Also apostrophes in names. Those too. They exist for a reason.

(Also the ways Irish names are pronounced differently in England just because. Hession. McMahon. Moran. It’s not that I’m blaming Irish people who emigrate or English people as such, it’s just so…jarring? When people say the names differently like that.)

I usually don't do anything serious here however I'm Polish and as you may know we are kinda mad at the new Beetlejuice movie for forgetting that famous chemist and Noble Prize winner Maria Skłodowska-Curie was Polish, identified as Polish her whole life and wanted to be remembered as Polish. Karolina Żebrowska made a great video explaining all the nuances about Maria's surname and situation of Poland at the time of Maria's life. Please watch it, it's not even 20min long and it's in English.
