This is it, the best news story (from BBC news):
Ok, so here is the croissant that started all this mess:
When asked about what kind of animal might it be, the woman said: “It’s this, oh, what is it called… A lagun!”
The devil works fast, but The Krakow Animal Welfare Society works faster:
They already made a merchandise with an illustration of the lagun - they posted information about it on Facebook on Tuesday evening and by the Wednesday morning everything was already sold out.
My university professors are so delighted about this story that they are writing tons and tons of limericks, moskaliks and lepiejs (those two last genres are very popular, ridiculous and humorous types of short poems, in last decades popularized by Wisława Szymborska) and posting them on official Facebook pages of our university departments, and I am dying of laughter.
Important update on the story: owners of cafés and bakeries in Kraków realized that this wonderful idiocy that took over the country could bring them profit and help animals, and started selling croissants labeled as laguns: i.e. Massolit Café & Bakery is sending 10% of income from selling laguns to the Krakow Animal Welfare Society. Thankfully laguns are selling like hotcakes and bakeries don’t plan to stop making them, so the story that started and could quickly die as just another seasonal nonsense transformed into a tool for helping small, helpless, vulnerable creatures, far less dangerous than vicious lagun.
This is how cyptids get started.
It’s also *exactly* the kind of story behind the invention of new pastries. If there’s some little change on the ingredient level that can make a “lagun” distinct from an ordinary croissant, then a new pastry will have been born, complete with fanciful cookbook-ready lore.
Queued up for April 15, 2024 the 3rd anniversary of the Krakowski Lagun.
4th anniversary of the Lagun
HAPPY KRAKOWSKI LAGUN DAY EVERYONE

Also very big! Takes up two stories!
wordgarment:
the whole underlying issue with psychiatric drugs is not whether they are truly Good or Bad, it’s the human right to bodily autonomy. the nuances of the issue become much clearer when you aren’t stuck in the weeds of moralizing psych diagnosis & treatment per se or trying to come to ontological conclusions about whether diagnoses are “real” or not. the DSM provides a deeply flawed and hierarchical framework for describing and organizing often very real human experiences for which people need support from other humans and sometimes chemicals. if you get too lost in the social machinations of diagnosis or committed to some wrongheaded idea that anyone who believes they need psych meds to survive is some kind of idiot capitalist bootlicker then you end up with extremely reductive views like “psych drugs bad!” or “psych drugs good!” When really what matters is that people have the power to make their own decisions about their own bodies/minds.
In my schooling which is very mental health heavy, they always try and push medication as a complete good or bad, and make you pick one. This is specifically with children and youth, who already struggle to have autonomy over their choices, especially youth experiencing mental health difficulties with unsupportive parents.
There’s so many other factors that lead to bad experiences with medication that I feel like people don’t acknowledge, like doctors just prescribing any depression medication, but not taking the time to fully assess you. My psychiatrist had 3 hour long appointments with me before deciding what we should start trying with medication. I got prozac, which got me out of the hole enough that I could do therapy and get improvement out of it. Medication can be so important with a holistic approach!
A DSM based diagnosis helped me get non psychiatric doctors to believe my mental health issues, and to get me accommodations in school. It’s served me well, but my psychiatrist still approached my symptoms and experience as opposed to a textbook case of depression/anxiety/ptsd (especially since he wanted to diagnose me with CPTSD, which the dsm keeps failing to recognize).
