"Barcelona suspends all relations with the Government of Israel. Human rights are defended by taking sides, not by turning a blind eye."
Ada Colau's speech at Barcelona City Council.
In less than 2 minutes, the representative for the State of Palestine at the UN, eviscerates the entire myth of Western "civilization" under the US Military Industrial Complex. This should be mandatory viewing in schools and universities throughout the Western world, if we do want to learn about upholding human rights, before we even begin to preach them to others.
#AlbertCamus 110 yaşında! Eserleri, fiilleri ve Sartre'la anlaşmazlığı, bugün de solun ufkunun temel renklerinden biri.
Camus'yü önce kızı Catherine Camus'den dinliyoruz, sonra da Camus-Sartre tartışmasına odaklanıyoruz:

I am disgusted by images of an antisemitic mob in Dagestan.
The global rise in antisemitism & Islamophobia is terrifying. Hatred does nothing to generate solidarity or bring about peace.
We cannot lose our common humanity. In times of darkness, it's all we have left.
An entire culture, history and people are disappearing under the rubble – buried by the moral cowardice of our political leaders.
Artists whose work we will never know.
Teachers whose lessons we will never learn.
Children whose laughter we will never hear.
We must keep raising our voice for an immediate ceasefire. For the universal application of international law. For our shared humanity.
For the only path to a just & lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

@CalltoActivism "But I know she is coming close to the time where she will stop being a dog, and start instead to be part of everything. She'll be in the wind, and in the soil, and the snow, and in me, wherever I go."
she will be in every beauty what you see 🤍🙏🏼♾️
This is a beautiful letter from Fiona Apple explaining to her fans why she must postpone a concert date.
I am impressed at the way she was instantly able to make the decision to choose love over her career. Indeed, the world needs more of this.
Enjoy the story...
“It's 6pm on Friday, and I'm writing to a few thousand friends I have not met yet. I'm writing to ask them to change our plans and meet a little while later.
Here's the thing.
I have a dog, Janet, and she's been ill for about 2 years now, as a tumor has been idling in her chest, growing ever so slowly. She's almost 14 years old now. I got her when she was 4 months old. I was 21 then — an adult, officially — and she was my kid.
She is a pitbull, and was found in Echo Park, with a rope around her neck, and bites all over her ears and face.
She was the one the dogfighters use to puff up the confidence of the contenders.
She's almost 14 and I've never seen her start a fight, or bite, or even growl, so I can understand why they chose her for that awful role. She's a pacifist.
Janet has been the most consistent relationship of my adult life, and that is just a fact. We've lived in numerous houses, and joined a few makeshift families, but it's always really been just the two of us.
She slept in bed with me, her head on the pillow, and she accepted my hysterical, tearful face into her chest, with her paws around me, every time I was heartbroken, or spirit-broken, or just lost, and as years went by, she let me take the role of her child, as I fell asleep, with her chin resting above my head.
She was under the piano when I wrote songs, barked any time I tried to record anything, and she was in the studio with me, all the time we recorded the last album.
The last time I came back from tour, she was spry as ever, and she's used to me being gone for a few weeks, every 6 or 7 years.
She has Addison's Disease, which makes it more dangerous for her to travel, since she needs regular injections of Cortisol, because she reacts to stress and excitement without the physiological tools which keep most of us from literally panicking to death.
Despite all this, she's effortlessly joyful & playful, and only stopped acting like a puppy about 3 years ago. She is my best friend, and my mother, and my daughter, my benefactor, and she's the one who taught me what love is.
I can't come to South America. Not now. When I got back from the last leg of the US tour, there was a big, big difference.
She doesn't even want to go for walks anymore.
I know that she's not sad about aging or dying.
Animals have a survival instinct, but a sense of mortality and vanity, they do not. That's why they are so much more present than people.
But I know she is coming close to the time where she will stop being a dog, and start instead to be part of everything. She'll be in the wind, and in the soil, and the snow, and in me, wherever I go.
I just can't leave her now, please understand. If I go away again, I'm afraid she'll die and I won't have the honor of singing her to sleep, of escorting her out.
Sometimes it takes me 20 minutes just to decide what socks to wear to bed.
But this decision is instant.
These are the choices we make, which define us. I will not be the woman who puts her career ahead of love & friendship.
I am the woman who stays home, baking Tilapia for my dearest, oldest friend. And helps her be comfortable and comforted and safe and important.
I need to do my damnedest, to be there for that.
Because it will be the most beautiful, the most intense, the most enriching experience of life I've ever known.
When she dies.
So I am staying home, and I am listening to her snore and wheeze, and I am revelling in the swampiest, most awful breath that ever emanated from an angel. And I'm asking for your blessing.
I'll be seeing you.
Love,
Fiona”
“Gece, düzen güçleri uykudadır. Bürokrasi, askeriye, okullar, polis, kısacası yaşamımızı düzenleyen tüm güçler uykudadır; sokakta devriye gezen nöbetçi polis dışında. Askerler de hepimizden önce yatağa girerler.
Dünyanın bu en baskıcı kurumunun mensupları, en erken yatanlardır aynı zamanda. Aslında, tüm totaliter kurumlarda, daha doğrusu tüm kurumlarda (tüm kurumlar totaliter değil midir zaten?) insan her zaman erken yatmak zorundadır – yatılı okullarda, manastırlarda, ailede, cezaevlerinde, hastanelerde…
Kişinin istediği saatte yatma hakkını destekleyen, bu özgürlüğe onay veren hiçbir kurum tanımıyorum. Aşk (?) üzerine kurulu olan ve iki kişinin özgür iradesiyle gerçekleşen evlilik kurumunda bile, çiftler yatağa aynı saatte girmezlerse, biri daha geç yatar, geceyi daha fazla yaşarsa, sorunlar çıkmakta gecikmez.
Kurum her zaman “geç” yatanı suçlar, erken yatanı değil.
Avrupa feodal toplumunda tüm kent sakinleri mumlarını aynı saatte söndürmek zorundaydılar; bayramlar dışında. Düzen ve baskı güçlerinin doğal yapısı, her zaman belirli bir uyku saatini zorunlu kılar. Bu belirli saatin erken bir saat olması da yine onların doğal yapısından kaynaklanır.”

Tarkovsky‘in Solaris filminde şöyle bir replik geçiyor:
Ingmar Bergman’a sormuşlar;
“Gidişat kötü, dünya nasıl kurtulacak?” “Utanç” demiş Bergman.
“Dünyayı bir tek utanç kurtarabilir!”
