Now it’s time for a moment of privacy. Kotołak isn’t my whole life, just a part of it. I invite everyone here who wants to get to know me a little better.
My name is Magdalena Janina Mirońska, but you can call me Lenka. That’s been my nickname since my college days. I was born in the Polish capital of sausages, called Sokołów Podlaski. I was raised and grew up in a village in Podlasie, halfway between Siedlce and Sokołów Podlaski. I believe that pork knuckle is the best cake there is; anyone who disagrees simply doesn’t know. Currently, I live in the Tricity area. I identify as a rock star. To respect my identity, please deposit a few million dollars into my account, and I demand an infinite line of people of all genders and species to queue up for my bed. But seriously—truth be told, I’m an introvert and I love peace and quiet.
I belong to the category of very calm people until I get really pissed off. I’m highly ironic and I know how to play with people’s nerves. It’s an instrument on which I’ve achieved the highest level of virtuosity. I also play the electric guitar, bass, and drums without any outstanding achievements.
Yes... I swear a lot!
If you were musicians screwed over by the smiling mafia of the music industry and poorly compensated for your work, you’d be very pissed off too and would use words commonly considered vulgar and offensive.
I have a degree in animal science. I completed “Breeding and Protection of Companion and Wild Animals” at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, as well as typical animal science studies at the University of Natural and Human Sciences in Siedlce. Despite my heavy metal character, most of my lecturers loved me. I wrote my first engineering thesis on animal welfare in zoos and its impact on reproduction. To this day, I am interested in the use of breeding and animal husbandry technologies in the conservation of endangered species. My second thesis dealt with the reasons for the lifespan of dogs of different sizes, evolving into a description of factors influencing the lifespan of dogs.
I want to remind everyone that I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS!
I am a patriarchal spy aiming to overthrow feminism…
I love sports. I even wanted to go to the Academy of Physical Education (AWF) once. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t bless me with outstanding physical prowess, but I’m a loyal fan of many sports disciplines. Since childhood, I’ve been watching ski jumping. I enjoy watching volleyball (although I hate playing it), basketball, and handball. I support Industria Kielce a.k.a. Vive Kielce (that name will always remain in my heart). I trained in Krav Maga for 10 years. Besides that, if I have time, I also watch alpine skiing, rugby, and hockey.
Besides that, I draw… Of course, only when I have time. Considering someone with reduced manual dexterity, I do it quite well. Yes, I’m the author of all Kotołak covers. Here, once again, imagination exceeds skills. Here are a few of my drawings.
One of the lecturers infected me with philosophy – the mother of all sciences and the foundation of independent thinking. I may not memorize philosophical systems by heart, but I love the pursuit of Truth. I’m also interested in esotericism and spirituality – I draw knowledge from all spiritual systems. I don’t belong to any religion, which makes it easier for me to develop spiritually. For many years, I conducted my own dialogue with God. Unfortunately, during the Dark Night of the Soul, I became deaf to His voice. If it can be called a voice. I’ve had several so-called spiritual experiences. I question scientific materialism. I’m interested in research on out-of-body experiences (OOBEs), near-death experiences (NDEs), and reincarnation.
I am a representative of the “fanatic center.” I dislike any political party or side. I don’t belong to the left or the right. It’s true that I mainly criticize the left – I used to be left-leaning once. Then I grew up. I am a weirdo, a wet dream of wokeness. I am autistic and childless by choice (if you could call it a conscious choice in my case). You could somewhat call me a strong, independent woman, aspiring for success and conquering the world… I just don’t feel the need to prove my happiness to the world by posting pictures with a child – cat – on Instagram. I am not pro-life. I fit perfectly into society under the rainbow flag of abominations. However… despite my androgyny, I don’t fight against femininity, I don’t hate demonizing men, I don’t oppose the values of family, love, or friendship. I laugh at contemporary feminism. As someone who struggled with gender identity, I fight against gender ideology. I don’t worship abortion as a feminist sacrament. I respect history and culture. I believe language and national identity are things we should protect. I don’t love illegal immigration. I thank the Border Guard for their service. I enjoy mocking hypocrisy from all sides.
... and this is a reason why no one likes me!
I am the worst nightmare of idiots from across the political spectrum.
As a classical liberal, I adopt the maxim ‘the freedom of one ends where the freedom of another begins.’ I don’t like interference in my life and being told how to live by all kinds of (mostly leftist) activists. I hate exploiting people’s survival instincts and fear-mongering. I particularly direct this accusation towards the so-called ‘climate activists.’ I am an enemy of political correctness – I am not responsible for other people’s emotions, just as others are not responsible for mine. I want society to support self-development and the upbringing of independently thinking individuals.
There are many initiatives that are close to my heart and I consider them to be creating a better world. One of them is the social psychiatry movement, ironically called the anti-psychiatry movement. I don’t like contemporary psychiatry and its methods, the lies about the harmlessness of drugs. I believe they are a convenient excuse for doping people up with pills instead of giving them real help. Another thing close to me is conscious predation and improving animal welfare in farming, without destroying this sector of the economy just because someone doesn’t like it. Tough luck. Humans are predators too. Another reason why I don’t get along with the so-called ‘greens.’ Besides that, I support alternative voices on climate change, not worshiping the idol called the carbon footprint. I support people who try to unite instead of divide. I believe that unity has never been as important as it is now, when we all, closed in our information bubbles and identifications, are becoming increasingly alien to each other. Otherwise, one day we will start killing each other again.
And by the way - I love pets.
“My friend may not seem happy at first glance, BUT in reality, she adores me. Unfortunately, she stayed in my family home.”
I try to live Zen lifestyle...
I lead a meditative lifestyle, striving to incorporate as much mindfulness and presence as possible. I try to live in Divine Peace achievable only Here and Now…
... but I sometimes fucking fail!
Have I mentioned, that I swear a lot? Eventually, I identify as a rock star…
I love living offline. I leave home and leave behind all the drama and noise of the internet. I can live, enjoy the weather, taste the flavors of life without constantly staring at a screen. The modern way of life scares me, where people, instead of living, report on their lives, selling the present moment for a few meaningless likes. At concerts, people increasingly record or stare at their phones instead of having a good time. Because of an Instagram story. Because of some clip on YouTube with crappy sound quality. Sad. People even stop talking to each other on dates. I’ve decided I don’t want that to consume me. That’s why I plan to resist buying a smartphone for as long as possible.
…and by the way, I really don’t like talking about myself. I guess you can see that, right? If you have any questions, just ask – find me on social media or contact me via email. You’ll find a link to the form at the top of the menu. I won’t give you the link here. You have to go to the menu and click, lazy sausage!
Love you,
Lenka
