The Wild Iris—by Louise Glück, who passed away Friday, Oct. 6, 2023

At the end of my suffering

there was a door.

Hear me out: that which you call death

I remember.

Overhead, noises, branches of the pine shifting.

Then nothing. The weak sun

flickered over the dry surface.

It is terrible to survive

as consciousness

buried in the dark earth.

Then it was over: that which you fear, being

a soul and unable

to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth

bending a little. And what I took to be

birds darting in low shrubs.

You who do not remember

passage from the other world

I tell you I could speak again: whatever

returns from oblivion returns

to find a voice:

from the center of my life came

a great fountain, deep blue

shadows on azure seawater.

i'm sorry but not many things regarding Polish culture annoy me as much as people calling Maria Skłodowska-Curie "Marie Curie".

she was born during the partitions, when Poland practically didn't exist cause our lands were divided between russia, Prussia and Austria, who were actively fighting Polish culture and national identity. there were places where it was illegal to even speak Polish. it lasted for 123 years and yet, our culture, our language, our identity survived.

yes, she was naturalized French because she married a French man and because Poland technically did not exist at the time. but Maria Skłodowska-Curie didn't call one of the element she discovered "polonium" so you could now erase her national identity.

so don't be fucking lazy and at least try to call her Skłodowska. even if you pronounce it a wrong way, at least fucking try. believe me, we Poles are aware how difficult our language is but we appreciate if a person at least tries.

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

My first encounter with Hemingway and surprisingly, a forgettable and, dare I say it, regrettable one: did not meet expectations

It has taken me fifty years to read Ernest Hemingway although the man has been in my consciousness for many of those; through biography; through historical fiction in which he appears as a character; in the places I have visited, like Madeira, which were of importance to him. To say I had a connectedness to him is perhaps a bit presumptuous but he is someone with whom I have been intrigued for…

My idea for emergency evacuation of multi-story buildings. It’s still in the early concept stages but i see no reason why this couldn’t become standard practice for new construction by 2025 if you call your representatives.

Peter Higgs, physicist who discovered Higgs boson, dies aged 94

Peter Higgs, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who discovered a new particle known as the Higgs boson, has died.

Higgs, 94, who was awarded the Nobel prize for physics in 2013 for his work in 1964 showing how the boson helped bind the universe together by giving particles their mass, died at home in Edinburgh on Monday.

After a series of experiments, which began in earnest in 2008, his theory was proven by physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Switzerland in 2012; the Nobel prize was shared with François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist whose work in 1964 also contributed directly to the discovery.
