Long story short content is back on the menu boys! Two days ago a person contacted me and was very adamant about sending me money. Essentially over half wage/month work for me. This person wanted to stay anonymous. I don't know anything about the person and he or she still didn't answer any of my messages. So I cannot back now and whoever you are - you have no idea how much you helped me. It is not only about the money. I tried for years to do anything intellectual for money, but it never worked out for me. Doors were always closed at my face and no one really was interested in this type of content. People around me thought that I was no good fro nothing and idiot. I don' know what else to say. I hope you see this message here.

I will return to normal schedule of posts somewhere around Sunday. Through these two days I made Patreon account in anyone would like to contribute to the subreddit. But people 5$ is enough. Don't destroy your budget on account of me. I'm still learning all this stuff about Patreon and social media. And to the future backers what more I can give you there? Sources of the photos, articles, galleries from Flickr, archives, letter from Mesopotamia? What would you want extra beside the content here.

Thank you also for anyone who sent me good wishes and positive comments. But be patient with me this month is busy for me. Content wil soon return to the schedule.

I will try also buymecoffe, but i don't have time now to do it. I live in the middle of nowhere and I have to go to the "City" to make new accounts

Hi people. Many of the subscribers don't know that I'm just the one guy doing the content. I'm writing this not to toot my own horn, but every time I write a text post or something different then batches of regular content many people write to me saying: fuck off or why are you spamming my favorite sub with your bullshit. Not realizing that I'm the only guy here. Long story shoty:

Probably I'm hanging up the gloves. I just don't have time. I have to start second job and I have to resign from something and probably it will be this blog/sub. I've already mentioned it earlier, but I decided to do it to the end of the year. You know how it is in life. I've been doing it at least 6 years on Reddit not mentioning other polish websites. I like doing it, but it didin't lead me to anywhere. My humble question would be if anyone would support this sub financially? I don't have anything ready meaning patreon or buycoffe or any this type of accounts. I'm just asking first if anyone would be interested. I feel bit dirty for even asking, but it is what it is.

Before my intellectual capacities will be diminished I would like to write a book and it takes time too. The book will be inspired by this letter. It will be story about 2 Qēpu (Sargon the Cat Handler and Bel the Scholar) and one young rookie soldier investigating gruesome murders in Niniveh in Neo Asyrian Empire. It is not going to be just a serial killer investigation it's more of a ploy to show the world of ancient Asyria. But it is going to be very violent read - like a meditation of nature of violence. When I'm going to sleep it comes to me for a long time so at least I must try, but it will be only in polish. There will be quite a lot of paintings transcribed to text - some of them been in this blog like Eunuch Dream or Fall of Nineveh.

Either way. Thank you for attention and subscribing. It was quite a journey. I hope that some of it inspired you too be more like Ludovico Settembrini not like Leo Naphta. Beauty is all around you just have to see it.
