Cassandra's Emporium
I am 19, ace, Polish, prospective historian and calligraphy student. Rarely creative, often rhapsodizing about small things. I admire 19th century, old-fashioned romanticism and a bit of gloominess. Welcome, fellow traveller. This is my way to escape from the senseless existence.

From the diary of The General Manager of Catastrophe
From the diary of The General Manager of Catastrophe
I have a slight feeling this could be my offical title. Day 4: Thursday I wake up really early and think about skipping this day completely. I can’t. I sigh and run down to start the workflow. I leave my chef the note that I am at the hairdresser’s next door is he comes before I am back. I get a free haircut from a young lady who is still training. My hair is weirdly straight. I pass the key to…

From the Acting General Manager Diary
From the Acting General Manager Diary
Day -2 I am being a very serious Duty Manager and after being on duty approximately the whole day I am supposed to count all the tills and up till now everything seems alright. At least until I look at the final count of the safe and compare it with my mathematics. DEAR LORD, PLEASE NO Mathematics is correct and there is 100 pounds missing and it is probably more than my labour for the whole day.…

On an anchor that we have, how the university strikes back and the two mugs too many
On an anchor that we have, how the university strikes back and the two mugs too many
Doing a full-time job (and being deadly tired because of that) makes me somehow forget I am actually a student. Even though I am absolutely aware of the lectures starting in a week, it seems somehow distant and unreal. Especially after my promotion, when I started to be concerned about matters such as whether we should sell Dead Pony Club pale ale on draught or in bottles and other pub-running…

A selection of random thoughts and states of mind after closing the pub at midnight
A selection of random thoughts and states of mind after closing the pub at midnight
I took the 29 to Wood Green again, as always,and if there are any stable things in this life, taking 29 definitely belongs to them.The whole life on a 29, or so I said even more than once. But I was hungry. I got absolutely bored of all the places with cheap food around my workplace, not even mention my own workplace. And I even got bored of the Tesco’s on Camden Road, the one that I always go to…

On lost, broken students with nowhere to go and on people who help them
On lost, broken students with nowhere to go and on people who help them
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Brothers and sisters, in the last Sunday’s Gospel reading we heard the story of a good Samaritan. As Revd Julia said in her sermon, it was a passage very well fit for our Present, with all the Brexit-related confusion and, to say it nicely, lack of sympathy towards people of different nationalities. Today I would like to tell you…

On the first week of supervising kids, a school in the middle of nowhere and my new friends
On the first week of supervising kids, a school in the middle of nowhere and my new friends
I don’t know how did it happen, but I am working on a summer language camp. And it is the most varied experience I have ever had. It all started last Sunday. We were sent to Brunel university for a couple of days and I had to go there straight after the mass at St Mary’s. It was not easy at all and I was crying the whole way from the church to Euston Square station, brokenhearted. My bag’s wheel…

On uncertainty and things that may cause problems and my constant strive not to be worried
On uncertainty and things that may cause problems and my constant strive not to be worried
This is a text in defense of EU migration to the UK I wrote when I still had hope, on the last day before the referendum day: I think there are some misconceptions around EU migration to the UK that I feel I should counter. TL;DR: how the EU migrants are not so bad as some people would like everybody to believe. There is no narrative from the other perspective, I am afraid. But I am brave and I…

A pilgrim
I was asked a question. Very legitimate and unsurprising question, which appears from time to time. This time it was in a very unofficial, relaxed setting, namely in a bar. The question was “Why?”. I took it very seriously. Seriously as never before, as it was not my usual “attempt to create a nice story out of it”. I have actually decided to tell the truth. What took me three hours of writing an…

On the sad germ-conquerors
On the sad germ-conquerors
“I am so lonely”, I thought from my bed, which stopped being cosy at the moment of spotting the first small intruder. I could not say I didn’t expect that. Well, it is the middle of the spring break. That’s why I am here now. I was supposed to start revising for the upcoming exam session and I was sure that while “at home” (where is home anyway) I would not even open the books. I even took one…

On Messy Church and little boys taking cookies
On Messy Church and little boys taking cookies
As it comes to the aspects of church work, I feel more or less comfortable with all of them but one. I am involved in old people projects, Bingo clubs, I am even happily setting up and cleaning after the services. I was helping in the parish office and assisting in a lot of hospital chaplaincy activities. And I felt (and still feel) I like it all. And then there comes the children ministry. But…

THIS IS A REALLY FUCKING EXCITING THING, BUT OF COURSE NOBODY SEEMS TO GIVE ENOUGH OF A FUCK ABOUT MESOPOTAMIAN SHIT TO ACTUALLY REPORT THIS ANYWHERE SOMEONE MIGHT SEE IT.
IT’S REALLY FUCKING COOL. TRUST US.

the assassination of franz ferdinand was actually the most hilariously botched assassination attempt of all time though like i can’t even explain to you how badly it went i mean there were six guys and the first one chickened out and the second one forgot to factor in the delay on a hand grenade so it exploded like three cars past the archduke’s so the guy took a cyanide pill and threw himself into a river, but the cyanide was expired and the river was six inches deep so the police just pulled him out and took him off to jail and then everyone else basically gave up and headed home, and then the driver of the archduke took a wrong turn and the car stalled next to the last of the six guys, and he was just like “what a crazy random happenstance” and started world war one

culturenlifestyle:
Photographer Dina Belenko loves to stage everyday objects into magical portraits, which transport you into a different realm. By capturing still-lives, Belenko believes she is also taking pictures of her soul.

There’s a book out there that’s either one of the last great unsolved cyphers or a massive medieval hoax. Welcome to the weird world of the Voynich Manuscript. And no, it isn’t solved yet.
I did this comic for The Nib last year (The Nib is an amazingly great place for comics on Medium if you don’t know that already). You can follow all my work on Medium here.
