Me: Okay, so now that I explained the modern geopolitical situation and the influence of globalisation on modern societies as well as the more and more popular trend of decolonising history, would you say you're more Polish or French?
Maria Salomea Skłodowska Curie, whom I resurrected from the dead, voice muffled by the leaden box I keep her in so she doesn't irradiate everything in the proximity: They made a song about radioactivity? And it's sung by imaginary dragons?
Me: That's not really what the song is about but should people write your name as Marie Curie or Maria Skłodowska Curie?
Maria: They put electricity into guitars??
#rip maryśka kochałabyś radioactive by imagine dragons jak kiedyś powiedziała moja koleżanka mijając jej pomnik#anyway#i had no idea what funnier joke to put there#but this woman makes me insaaaaaane#shes so impressive and admirable and SO COMPLICATED#i hate when my historical figures are influenced by historic events smh#dont mind me ill just continue obsessing about her#babbling blue#maria skłodowska curie#marie curie#cause like#i started reading more about her#and im just as dedicated to reminding people she was polish as the next guy#but im not sure anymore what she personally thought of the matter...?#like the 'she kept her polish name on purpose to make a statement!' that we all love to repeat#might be slightly simplified...
