Someone polluted second biggest river in Poland, the Oder. At least 10 tonnes of dead fish washed up on shores.
German broadcaster, citing information it obtained unofficially from a lab probing samples of the Oder River water, says that "high levels of mercury" ("hohe Werte von Quecksilber") were found in the samples.
This is grave environmental disaster and our gov only reaction was reporting this two weeks AFTER situation was observed.
I have no words...

Anyway have a collection of stuff our italian art/furniture restoration teacher has said:
“If you’re in this business for money, you’re in the wrong business. Go work at McDonald’s.”
“All insects are referred to by their latin names. If you really want to piss off a conservator, ask him if he’s familiar with lactobacillius bulgaricus. He won’t be, that’s in yoghurt.”
“A mirror doesn’t usually wear down from being used. People that ugly are rare.”
“When I see the Alps I will instantly weep, because I know I’m almost home. and if someone dismantled the Alps, I’d cry harder. Moral of the story is, there’s no pleasing me.”
“One year a girl asked me if we’ll have to use animal glue, because she’s vegan. I’m a vegetarian, too, and I can already promise you this: You don’t have to eat the glue. Actually, now that I thought of it, I’m forbidding it completely. If I see you eating glue in this class I’m throwing you out.”
“If a very old object has been kept well, it can still be in very good shape. Like a grandma. Old things are never ugly, they must be respected.”
“Do not put silicone breasts on the grandma.”
“In the video interviews (for school entrance exams) there were some interesting, and even funny ones. None of you were funny, though. The funny ones didn’t get in.”
“When I was in school, interior design was taught by an architect who didn’t know anything about the subject. Never trust architects, they are evil.”
“Low-fat milk is only good for making milk paint, it’s poison. It’s just chalk and water, and even the chalk has been removed. Low-fat milk is essentially nothing.”
[Has a 15-minute argument with a student about whether “dark blonde” is a real hair colour]
“Fresco also means ‘I am in prison’ in italian, because it’s a bit cool. Or was, nowadays I think prisons are quite comfortable.”
“Ideally we’d use pure 100% ethanol, but we’re not allowed to get that anymore because we’re in Finland. They don’t even sell pure ethanol to doctors or hospitals, because medical students kept stealing and drinking it.”
“The man was - what was his name? Hefner. No, Defner, Hefner was the american. Apparently my brain rotates around playboy-magazines today.”
“This may be the only example of this kind of object in Kymenlaakso. Do not drop it, I might suddenly become very violent if something happens to it.”
“I have a jar of shellac in my old workshop in Italy. Haven’t been able to open it for 25 years. Every year, I try again.”
“If you can’t have a baby and don’t want to break into a maternity ward to steal hair, goat hair brushes are almost as good. But baby hair would be the best, it’s not like they use them for anything.”
“The best vodka is made out of potatoes, not wheat. Remember that. Polish potato vodka.”
“Let’s have a coffee break. Fifteen. I mean fifteen minutes, do not have fifteen coffees.”
He’s notorious for never actually booking a class, but just having his classes wherever he wants and whenever he wants, and acting insulted when he and his students are shooed out. One morning when he was having a class in the room that our teacher of the day had booked for the day, Diego left first with all his students following him in such a neat row, that he started sarcastically muttering some prayer or religious litany in either italian or latin as he went.

There is a PlainAirpril going on this month and I've decided to participate. Here is some of the artworks I made in Clip Studio Paint. Based on my photos. Ducks were photographed in Łódź by my friend ig: nurgiel. Top is from park in Toruń, bottom form Pérouges, France.
Do you want to see more of these?

I’m old and cynical enough to not be obsessed with fictional character any more, but still...
This shitstorm leaves me with bad teaste in my mouth. How could you be so transphobic and still think fans will forgive you, because you played lovable character in a game? And to use this character to validate your bad behavior? This proves you didn’t understand character you played and your demographic. Rich, entitled sad man.
I wonder if Bioware will sue this guy for using their intelectual property and ruining it...
Now I’m happy to be in Sollavelan hell... (please tell me that Sollas VA is a nice guy in rl, please)
P.S. please, can we live in a pleace where every VA, who played lovable character, is a lovable pearson in RL? NO? Dang it!
I’m kind of embarrassed to admit I used to be obsessed with Cullen when I first got into dragon age. Like, there isn’t a save file on my game of inquisition where I haven’t romanced him.
And I know a lot of people have been able to look past his voice actor’s actions and can still enjoy Cullen as a character and that’s great for them but I really can’t.
I can’t see Cullen anymore without seeing his voice actor’s bigotry and his hateful behaviour.
So basically I’m pretty sad that one of my all time favourite video game romances has been completely ruined.
Fuck Greg Ellis and his transphobia, he should never be hired for any voice work ever again.
