Now that i work in a museum i think about the claim my ex made once even more. He was conviced that they only show printed paintings and the real ones are always hidden cos theres no point in showing the real one
Why the fuck would they do that? And how the fuck did he get to that piont?
I have no clue
Anyway theres details of an amazing George Sand portrait that we currently have on an exchibition.

Im here again. Someone just wrote how wierd it is that the numer of people living in Warsaw is getting smaller and the numer of people dying is bigger. Almost like if you die you cannot be counted as someone who lives in the city anymore.
Sometimes i wish i could leave comments under sections of scientific papers like on AO3 or Wattpad and be really fuckin mean. Who tf gave that man a PHD if he writes so bad a student can point out he has no clue about words he is using. How tf did that text go thru review to end up in that book.

Sometimes i think to myself christian theology cant get wierder and then i read very real fight about how Mary was concived without sin and find out that Johannes Duns Scotus had an idea where God just took away the desire from her parents (becouse thats apparently the cause of primary sin- the desire of parents during intercourse) becouse the idea of god just giving them a child by a miracle during a kiss was too stupid in his opinion. Instead he made god a peeper.
God i love my studies but wtf.

Turned out i didn't hate my studies and don't want to drop out. I just needed a good, old Polish neogothic mausoleum to make me fall in love with it again. I love life.
This is a mausoleum of Karol Scheibler- Polish factory owner. Built in 1888 as first of many neogothic graves in Poland but the only one of this size.
