Leyla Everlasting (9 Kere Leyla)
It was so stupid, but it was really funny.
Some good quotes:
“- Je n’ai pas penser. C’est mauvais pour mon cerveau. Je suis déprimée quand je ne pense pas à moi. Je n’aime pas être déprimée. C’est pas bon pour ma peau.” (Leyla)
“- Ils ont dû mourir de stupidité.” 
“- Tu as l’air d’être un voyou. J’ai pensé que tu m’aiderais.”
“- Pardon, mais pourquoi m’avez-vous enlevé ? - J’enlève des gens régulièrement, pas seulement quand j’ai besoin d’eux. Pour bavarder.  - Logique. - N’est-ce pas ?” 
“- Rien n’est interdit si on connaît les bonnes personnes.”
“- Je ne crois pas aux photos. Elles brisent l’univers tout entier de son existence momentanée.”
“- Ca peut se faire. Oui. On meurt tous un jour. On avance juste un peu la date. c’est tout.”
“- Il s’est tué. Tout ce que savent faire les hommes, c’est tuer. S’il n’y a personne à tuer, ils se suicident.”
“- On a essayé de la tuer et on s’est retrouvés morts. Quel destin !”
“Être un homme, c’et un défaut inné.”

Okay news on the guy me and my friends "bullied" (bullied with huge quotation marks bc we didn't bully him he's just too sensitive to get our jokes)
So today he sent me a huge paragraph in Turkish but I sat down and translated everything for you......
I heard what the four of you said about me today, I blocked you all, I'm sorry, for every time I disturbed you, please tell me that I won't make those mistakes again. He should stop bothering me, if he continues to hit me, I will forward this issue to the teachers. I thought you were a good person, Vera, the reason why I called you flat that day was because I really didn't know. I didn't expect that this would make you so angry and make fun of me. I have been a sensitive child since childhood. I didn't trust anyone easily. I sensed a sense of friendship from you. I told you from the first week, I thought we would remain friends. I don't want to force you, but if you cared about me even a little bit, please don't tell anyone my secret. I am yours. It was never my intention to spread his secret, it will never happen, I predicted that Kerim would treat me like this, he was always trying to make a fool of me and manipulate me, the only thing I noticed was the first time he tried to manipulate m
So I was expecting this from him.
But I never expected this from you
I'm sorry for being such a coward like an anime girl, I'm sorry for being so stupid
I hope you don't still hate me. I can imagine that you wouldn't want to remain friends, so I wanted to respectfully cut off our friendship without upsetting each other.
I wish you success in your future life, I hope all your wishes come true.
You probably won't want to be friends so forget about me
I will forget you too
we never talked we have never met
From now on, I want to remain a student from the opposite class to you, see you later.
So everything you just read is straight up bullshit
First things first what made him think we were in the terms to refer to each other with our first names
And second of all him calling me flat was straight up wrong body shaming
The thing about the person named Kerem who is my friend manipulating his is a lie asking someone to buy you water with your money is not manipulation
And lastly he said he "heard our conversation" which means he has been eavesdropping on us and our convos which is a serious problem in it self
I'm also a sensitive person but whatever this guys been doing is just childish and dumb
Anyways that was my little rant about the whole situation
I mean I'm genuinely happy he didn't so anything to himself right now because I had the worst in mind ToT
But well I'm honestly trying to understand both sides... like there is chance he's just REALLY sensitive and all but I don't think calling someone flat would go unnoticed so I'm kinda more keen on believing your version...
Like I'm kinda sorry for that guy but then again, eavesdropping, body shaming and then most likely trying to make himself look like the victim is kinda a no...
But I guess it should be the best if you forgot about each other? Like that way you don't have to talk anymore and it looks like the best option for me??

Genocide in Palestine: It’s Really Not Complicated
An accessible primer designed to sway the “both sides are wrong” people in your life
(context: i put this together for my own parents, but decided to share it in case it could help anyone else. i think a lot of us feel like we're just shouting into an echo chamber & only being heard by people who already agree.... so this was my attempt at making something that could help carry the truth outside of our activist bubble! feel free to copy/paste whatever, tweak the language so it's in ur own words, etc.)
The context:
A brief history of Israeli occupation
A long track record of peaceful protest (all met with slaughter)
An exemplary essay on the Palestinian experience of the global climate around occupied Palestine
The situation in Palestine today:
Is this genocide?
Indisputably, yes.
But if you can’t take my word for it, listen to the experts:
Holocaust survivors protesting for a free Palestine
The resignation letter from the Director of New York Office of the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights (I strongly recommend reading at least the first page) (full letter here)
More from the former UN Director
Every single country in the UN voting yes on a ceasefire & then being blocked by the US and a handful of our military allies
Explicit genocidal intent from Israel's Public Diplomacy Minister
Explicit genocidal intent (en masse) in the Zionist movement
Another Auschwitz survivor speaking out (this man is now dead, this video is >13 yrs old) (these atrocities have gone unpunished for decades)
Why anti-Zionism is NOT anti-Semitism: 
A brief background on Zionism
The IDF employs the same violence against Jewish Israeli citizens who don’t support the genocide:
Zionist forces brutally assault Orthodox Jews in the streets of Jerusalem for opposing genocide in Gaza
Holocaust survivors protesting for a free Palestine
More support for anti-Zionism from a Jewish woman raised by a Zionist family
Israeli citizens speaking out against the IDF:
Israeli teens serving jail time for refusing to serve in the IDF
Another Jewish Israeli speaking out against Palestinian occupation
Evidence that the IDF is fabricating claims to rationalize further violence (and is actively responsible for much of the actual damage): 
“Baby teeth from infants burned alive” debunked by experts, (addtl dentists weighing in)
Accusing Hamas of war crimes committed by the IDF
Scenes from Israel & Palestine before Gaza’s power grid got cut
Recent atrocities: a not-remotely-comprehensive list
Thousands of children dead. Not claimed to be dead without any evidence—actual children with names and verifiable identities, crushed and burned alive. 
The 2023/2024 school year in Gaza has been formally canceled because every single student is dead.
IDF targeting designated “safe” evacuation routes:
https://www.wionews.com/world/israeli-strikes-kill-gaza-civilians-including-children-on-safe-routes-reports-646972 (Sidebar: can we talk about the use of quotation marks around “kill” here? ‘Oops, my hand slipped onto the trigger of a gun and then someone got “ouch-ed” by a “bullet!” Clumsy me!’) 
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/14/gaza-civilians-afraid-to-leave-home-after-bombing-of-safe-routes 
IDF targeting hospitals:
Al Quds Hospital
Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital
Cutting Gaza’s power grid
The indiscriminate use of weapons banned by the Geneva Convention. White phosphorus does not stop burning till it reaches bone. They are crop dusting refugee camps and schools with this. This is not just hearsay, this has been eyewitness-confirmed by international journalists & Amnesty International. 
They dropped it on a fucking school. Full of children. Burned alive from the inside out. There are literally no words.
More evidence
As of 11/2, lsrael has dropped 25,000 tons of explosives on Gaza Strip, which is equivalent to the explosive force of two nuclear bombs.
IDF targeting refugee camps:
Jabalia refugee camp:
More on Jabalia
A second blast on Jabalia in 2 days (there’s since been a third)
Israeli soldiers starting a “kidnapping challenge” in which Palestinians in the West Bank are kidnapped and blindfolded. TikTok is filled with videos of Israeli soldiers and civilians participating.
Pogroms & forced displacement in the West Bank
Targeting journalists & silencing dissenters
Cholera outbreaks from contaminated water & infant death from dehydration due to Gaza being (deliberately) cut off from clean water
Hundreds of Palestinian workers abducted & tortured without ever learning the charges
The Bottom Line: the IDF claims to be targeting Hamas, but they’ve razed entire cities to the ground. They target churches, mosques, & synagogues alike. They target refugee camps and schoolyards and bucolic farmland. This is not about tracking down a few terrorists, this is about wiping out an ethnic group in order to occupy their homeland. 
The human side: individual voices & experiences
A message from a doctor in Gaza
A young video blogger reporting from Gaza 
Palestinian children speaking out
The faces of the people we’re targeting. 
(There’s obviously a tremendous amount of this, most of which is much much harder to watch. But I am emotionally exhausted so for now I’ll just leave it at that.)
Does this mean you condone Hamas?
No. Do you condone decades of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement? 
Or, put differently: Palestine has been under violent imperialist rule for years, with similar atrocities / acts of violence / systematic displacement taking place for literal decades. As I keep hearing from better-informed activists than myself, this did not start on October 7th. (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, I could go on but you get the idea). And after decades of peaceful protest and pleas to be seen, the first time that Palestine has ever received this much media attention was after the violence on 10/7. Do I think it’s good to harm civilians? No. Obviously not. But I think it’s worse to bomb thousands of civilian buildings for decades on end without any oversight, accountability or consequence. 
Unfortunately, no dominant system of power has ever been dismantled without bloodshed. Targeting civilians is atrocious, but that’s what Israel has been doing for decades, and no one batted an eye until Palestine struck back. 
If this is true, why is this my first time hearing about it?
Let’s talk about:
The Propaganda Machine!
A silly & unexpectedly informative overview of the propaganda machine… ~in song~
One very small example
Reuters provides a good example of how journalists rely on readers’ short attention span to paint Palestinians as monsters:
Let’s start with the headline: [Freed Israeli hostage says 'I've been through hell']
Yikes! Yeah! Makes sense! Being kidnapped is really scary! The front half of the article describes the pain and terror of that kidnapping in detail. But if you scroll down to the bottom, you get to read her account on her time as a hostage: 
"When we got there, first of all they told us that they believed in the Koran and that they would not harm us," she recounted. A group of five people from her kibbutz were held together, each with an individual guard who stayed with them 24 hours a day. Lifshitz said a doctor visited them every other day and brought them the medicines they needed. "They took good care of the wounded," Lifshitz said. Video of her release on Monday showed her turning around to shake the hand of a masked captor. Asked why she had done that, she replied: "They treated us gently and met all our needs."
Sidebar: did you know that Hamas was willing to free all hostages in exchange for the release of the countless Palestinians imprisoned by the IDF on no charges whatsoever? I sure didn’t! Because U.S. media doesn’t cover those stories. Because the corporations funding these atrocities have financial interest in maintaining Israel’s status as innocent victims, and the entire civilian population of Palestine as a living smokescreen for Hamas. 
Examples of the U.S. trying to maintain its facade as “the good guy” — The U.S. takes credit for restoring power to Gaza when in fact it was Palestineans on the ground who restored their own power
Thanks to pressure from a massive groundswell of grassroots support, the media climate has changed in the past week alone, but I swear to god that one week ago (10/26), I googled “attacks on Palestine” / “bombings in Gaza” and Google EXCLUSIVELY provided results on the Oct 7 attack on Israel.
The US govt attempting to run further arms deals in secret with zero oversight, inured from all checks & balances, in order to hide our involvement in these atrocities
I have yet to see a single one of these massive protests in the news
But if this is really genocide, why is the US still siding with Israel? 
A very thorough explanation from a former Stanford professor.
(The short version: Israel has long been America's attack dog in the Middle East, and allows us unparalleled access to the resources that we want to take advantage of. It's the military-industrial complex at its most insidious. If you can’t accept that answer, please just listen to the podcast.)
Misc. addtl resources: 
A helpful thread addressing common pro-Israel arguments
An excellent reading list compiled by people much smarter than me
Okay, so we’re funding a genocide. What can I do?
Buy e-sims to get Gaza back online
Contact your local legislators. This google doc makes it insanely easy to send an auto-email in protest to every single bill funding the genocide. It’ll help if you change the language a tiny bit to keep it from getting flagged as spam, but whatever you’ll actually do is better than nothing. Mobile version here.
Boycott the companies most actively lobbying for further violence
TALK ABOUT IT. EVEN WHEN IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE. Especially when it’s uncomfortable. The government is depending on our exhaustion, our desensitization, our silence & our compliance. Do Not Let Them Get Away With It. If nothing else, your support helps suffering people to feel a tiny bit more seen. That should be reason enough.
Who are you (and what’s your agenda)?
Nobody, really. Just some privileged American who’s been watching our president stand around spouting bullshit about how, “oh, well, there’s no way to know…” while my twitter feed overflows with on-the-ground footage of the worst shit I have ever seen. I’m sharing this anonymously because I have a hard time feeling visible on the internet (I don’t have any social media accounts under my real name, just goofy fandom aliases to post about my dumb hyperfixations). But it’s also because it doesn’t really matter who I am. I’m not half as educated as any of the folks linked above, so the most I can do is compress & compile the resources that a lot of folks—namely, those who get their news from mainstream media—don’t get to see. 
If you’re so unqualified, why are you making this? What’s your game here 🤨🤨🤨
It’s pretty fuckin selfish, but I guess my immediate agenda is to be able to talk to my parents again? To have a real conversation without the constant fear that someone’s about to say something that’ll make me totally shut down, just because they get their info from the news. If it can do that much, I’ll be… still drenched in despair, I guess, but maybe 1% less anxious? 
Beyond that, I feel like a lot of us feel like we’re shouting into an echo chamber. Like, all of this info is out there, but it only forms a larger picture if you’re already, constantly plugged in. I think that in a lot of cases, our (very justified) anger winds up alienating folks whose main flaw is just… trusting the resources that they’ve been taught to trust. So I liked the idea of making something that would feel accessible to folks who sit outside of our bubble—something that could be informative without coming off as shout-y or judgmental. Hopefully I came close? 
…End of day, I guess it feels better than doing nothing.

This excellent feminist analysis interrogates how femininity and womanhood are constructed in Aşk-ı Memnu. (My followers who know Turkish should read it, it is excellent).
Here is what I understand from it in relation to Nihal and Bihter with some of my own interpretations.
The thesis interrogates Peyker, Firdevs, Nihal and Bihter’s relationships to “being feminine”, to the norms of womanhood. Firdevs is the older woman who desperately clings onto femininity and desirability. Peyker is the Mother who accepted the patriarchal role. Nihal is unable to enter the world of femininity in the first place. Bihter has the feminine power, owns it and then defies it, she is the disruptor.
This thesis does assert that (yes that quotation is from this same thesis) Nihal is unaware of the gender roles in the first place. Her and her childish illusion of subjecthood are unorthodox but they are not really transgressive because Nihal is not really aware of the norms in the first place. She does reject marriage and being an object of desire, but it is short-lived and at last she makes an attempt to be an acceptable woman by accepting Behlül’s proposal of marriage. In her final state she is a rejection of femininity and “nature” in her eternal codependent relationship with her father but this only ended up being the case because of the reveal of the affair and in the mean time Nihal had gotten used to the idea of marriage. She is melancholic about Behlül at the end of the book.
In short, Nihal is certainly an unorthodox figure in her own way but is not really a meaningful rebel.
Bihter’s transgression is more meaningful because she is feminine. She knows the gender roles and traditions and adheres to them in daily life, but then disrupts it in her sexuality where it hurts the patriarchy most.
So even if Nihal is actually the inherently “weirder” person, her actions don’t hurt the patriarchy like Bihter cheating on her husband (the owner of her sexuality) or assuming the “role of the man” in her relationship with Behlül do.
And I am a Nihal fan, and I think she is rebellious in her own way, but it is also true that she does not make sexists angry. Bihter and her sexuality still make sexists and conservatives angry.
Beyond this the thesis also talks about how the language of the novel and Behlül’s thoughts essentialize and naturalize gender norms but that part is beyond the scope of this post that I wrote while I am half sleepy.

tw:mentions of nationalism,racism,(slightly less of) homophobia and femicides.
[all credits for the tweets go to @ k._antonis on instagram]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I hope for Turkey to soon be demolished,to hurt and feel how it is to lose people,you cursed,may God burn you all."
"in the end,God was Greek! #earthquake of course we are not taking pity on you!"
"sending help to Turkey is a civilised deed,like the slaughtering and raping that the barbarian Turks (every invader) do when they invade another country (see Cyprus). QUESTION: SHOULD WE SENT HELP?"
(this last one is actually from a president of a party.a party that has a place in the parliament,represented by ten members.which means people voted for it)
.
enough is enough.
the (ongoing) tragedy that followed the earthquake in Turkey and Syria was followed in turn by (the usual) nationalistic comments,comments which are focused on events that happened centuries ago,comments that show that,even in 2023,there is not so much hope for certain people to change their views.and that's a tragedy itself,too.
before anyone,if anyone ever reads that,comes at me for whatever reason,I want to put a disclaimer here:I do not mean that everyone is like that when I am refering to certain events happening in this country,which I love but recognise the problems of that need to be solved.I am just furious about certain people's reactions to Greece sending help to the countries during this difficult (difficult is an understatement) time.
sending help is the least we can do as a whole.
I am not usually a person who expresses her opinions on the internet;to be honest with you,it's very hard,a roller coaster ride worth of anxiety for me-anyway,this isn't about me.
this time,though,I want to talk.
I want to talk about the nationalistic side of things,from the perspective of a person who grew up and is still living in this country, a person who has seen a lot and heard a lot and is sick and tired of being stuck in the 19th and the 20th century.
for almost nineteen years,this country has been what one would call my homeland;yet,how can you give the label "home" to a country whose people yell that refugees from Syria take our jobs,a country where your yiayia forbids you from talking to the Pakistani family down the street who greet you every morning,because they are dangerous people who cook and smell and act weird,a country that thinks different is equal to weird,a country that kills difference,literally and figuratively,whose people throw queer couples out of the taverna because the "normal" costumers want to eat in peace,a country in which you count down on New Year's Day and the next moment you start counting the number of the women killed this year by their husbands/lovers/exes etc.,a country that even tries to kill theatre,its own child,and that (despite of it being an issue for further analysing) may seem completely irrelevant,but if you think about it,isn't it theatre that teaches us how to love and accept and live peacefully with others?isn't it theatre that teaches us about tragedies?
a country whose people do not want to help their neighbours/other nations because of our "past",when,at the same time,they claim to have read the history and know it by heart,when,at the same time of saying that God cursed these people,the most practiced religion in Greece is Orthodox Christianity and the church that gives the New Testament away to young students has such influence? have all these wars and all these tragedies and Jesus taught you nothing?haven't they taught you not to hide your nationalism behind the door of religion and history?haven't you gotten the message for being at peace with each other and others,to "love thy neighbour"?
the thing is,at least from my experience,almost no one ever says anything to anyone when they hear curses and "threats" (with or without quotation marks) towards the Turkish people and the people from Syria-I myself have been guilty about not putting people in a place to think critically of what they have said many times and I sincerely apologise for not acting at the moment because I was afraid.I get that some may be afraid;but silence is participation oftentimes;when you are learning about the Greek Revolution at 4th grade and little Kostakis or Anna indirectly make their hatred towards Turkish people,because that's what they have probably heard at home and the teachers/other students do not have an open dialogue with them or/and their caregivers to understand the situation;when your grandfather and uncle are still cursing them for even existing because of past events and you just sit in the corner of the table;when,when,when...
I just don't get it.
I understand that these people set Greece (that was merely a nation back then,walking in baby steps,which I also understand) free back in the 19th and 20th century from the Ottoman Empire,and I recognise the tragedy of the Catastrophy of Asia Minor,and (for the people in the tweets above talking about Erd*gan and the turkish airforce) I get that today's president utters scary words for many and acts in a certain way,to put it lightly,sometimes.
but what I don't get is why some still think and act this way;on the contrary,history,as I mentioned above,should have taught us some things at this point.
my great-grandmother was from Asia Minor and horrible events occured there,I realise that,I am grateful that she survived and I exist,but how could we hate on the people that are now facing something so horrible and tragical and curse them on top of everything-on top of their loses,their tears,their pain,their mourning?how can we complain about and hate on the country's decision to send help to them?
last but for sure and certain not least,I want to send my deepest condolences to the people from Turkey and Syria.
we are right here,besides you.no hatred.just love and peace.
and help.
[click on the link on the word "help" to see ways in which you can,if you are,of couse,able to do so.
also,I am sure that there are posts more eloquent than this one that explain a lot more other ways in which you can do so.]

In Search of Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul
Sara Bozza, ANAMED Senior Fellow (2022–2023)
Tumblr media
If you are a European archaeologist and you arrive in Istanbul for the very first time after having read Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul (and having daydreamed for ages about it), you will be extremely anxious to explore every corner of the city in search of the images and feelings that the book intensely inspires.
Tons of pages about Istanbul have been written by hundreds of authors, due to its unique character as a kaleidoscopic city between two continents, with an extremely rich past made of intertwined, different cultures. Today, the city is still a melting pot of people of different cultures, languages, and nationalities arriving from every corner of the world, according to current geo-political dynamics and hordes of tourists swarming the most iconic places. Istanbul is today projected towards the future, with neighborhoods dramatically affected by profound social and urban changes, but its vibrant, picturesque atmosphere is still present at almost every corner.
Tumblr media
The main concept of Pamuk’s autobiographical book Istanbul. Memories and the City is melancholy. The book begins with a quotation from Ahmet Rasim that is the perfect summary of the entire book: “The beauty of a landscape resides in its melancholy.” A deep feeling of melancholy and latent sadness is the fil rouge of the entire narration of Pamuk’s life in Istanbul. The “modernization” of Turkey was still in progress when the author was born in 1952 and during his childhood, spent between the districts of Nişantaşı and Cihangir: the image he depicts is that of a city inevitably suspended between old splendors and present decadence. In his account, the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent dramatic changes of Turkish society don’t seem water under the bridge but a very recent and perceivable thing.
Probably one of the most tangible effects of the social changes occurring in modern Turkey is the ubiquitous presence of building sites. On one hand, wealth, renewal, new cultural places: in Istanbul, it is common to see (with pleasure and optimism) historical palaces under restoration or recently repaired and given back to the community. On the other hand, the inexorable progress that makes the “old” vanish: today, passing by an urban void, one can imagine the previous presence of old houses that are now gone and feel that same sense of loss that young Pamuk felt when seeing that a traditional wooden house was destroyed by a fire.
But the strong fascination of the old buildings of Istanbul lies in the great number of human lives that have passed through those architectural spaces (but yes, also in the fact that they are now ruins—professional deformation). Pamuk himself explains his idea of Istanbul’s melancholy, hüzün in Turkish, which is strictly connected with the people that inhabit the city: “Now we begin to understand hüzün not as the melancholy of a solitary person but the black mood shared by millions of people together. What I am trying to explain is the hüzün of an entire city: of Istanbul.” p. 92
With this concept in mind, every corner of the city—and better if it’s in a back street, in a non-touristic neighborhood—is soon transformed into the perfect location for our hunt for the ancestral, melancholic soul of Istanbul. A hunt that is absolutely personal and subjective. So…if you have the chance to spend several months in Istanbul thanks to the ANAMED fellowship, go out and find your own vision! Your stay will soon turn into your romantic, curiosity-driven love story with the city.
Tumblr media
“I love the overwhelming melancholy when I look at the walls of old apartment buildings and the dark surfaces of neglected, unpainted, fallen-down wooden mansions; only in Istanbul have I seen this texture, this shading. When I watch the black-and-white crowds rushing through the darkening streets of a winter’s evening, I feel a deep sense of fellowship, almost as if the night has cloaked our lives, our streets, our every belonging in a blanket of darkness, as if once we’re safe in our houses, our bedrooms, our beds, we can return to dreams of our long-gone riches, our legendary past.” p. 34–35
“The wooden mansions of my childhood and the smaller, more modest wooden houses in the city’s back streets were in a mesmerizing state of ruin. Poverty and neglect had ensured these houses were never painted, and the combination of age, dirt, and humidity slowly darkened the wood to give it that special color, that unique texture, so prevalent in the back neighborhoods that as a child I took the blackness to be original.” p. 37
Tumblr media
“If the city speaks of defeat, destruction, deprivation, melancholy, and poverty, the Bosphorus sings of life, pleasure, and happiness. Istanbul draws its strength from the Bosphorus. But in earlier times, no one gave it much importance: They saw the Bosphorus as a waterway, a beauty spot, and, for the last two hundred years, a fine location for summer palaces.” p. 47–48
Tumblr media
“What I enjoyed most about our family excursions to the Bosphorus was to see the traces everywhere of a sumptuous culture that had been influenced by the West without having lost its originality or vitality. To stand before the magnificent iron gates of a grand yalı bereft of its paint, to notice the sturdiness of another yalı’s moss-covered walls, to admire the shutters and fine woodwork of a third even more sumptuous yalı and to contemplate the judas trees on the hills rising high above it, to pass gardens heavily shaded by evergreens and centuries-old plane trees—even for a child, it was to know that a great civilization had stood here, and, from what they told me, people very much like us had once upon a time led a life extravagantly different from our own—leaving us who followed them feeling the poorer, weaker, and more provincial.” p. 52–53
Tumblr media
“In The Seven Lamps of Architecture, John Ruskin devotes much of the chapter entitled “Memory” to the beauties of the picturesque, attributing the particular beauty of this sort of architecture (as opposed to that of carefully planned classical forms) to its “accidental” nature. So when he uses the word picturesque (“like a picture”) he is describing an architectural landscape that has, over time, become beautiful in a way never foreseen by its creators. For Ruskin, picturesque beauty rises out of details that emerge only after a building has been standing for hundreds of years, from the ivy, herbs, and grassy meadows that surround it, from the rocks in the distance, the clouds in the sky, and the choppy sea. So there is nothing picturesque about a new building, which demands to be seen on its own terms; it only becomes picturesque after history has endowed it with accidental beauty and granted us a fortuitous new perspective.” p. 254–55
“We might call this confused, hazy state melancholy, or perhaps we should call it by its Turkish name, hüzün, which denotes a melancholy that is communal rather than private. Offering no clarity, veiling reality instead, hüzün brings us comfort, softening the view like the condensation on a window when a teakettle has been spouting steam on a winter’s day. Steamed-up windows make me feel hüzün, and I still love getting up and walking over to those windows to trace words on them with my finger. As I shape words and figures on the steamy window, the hüzün inside me dissipates and I can relax; after I have done all my writing and drawing, I can erase it all with the back of my hand and look outside.” p. 89

10 Days of a Good Man / Iyi Adamin 10 Günü
A delightful twisty Turkish noir-comedy.
It’s even better if you understand Turkish, because some proverb cannot be translate into any other language. It’s very special. 
It was definitively comic and noir. 
The only negative thing in this movie was the non credibility of the “vampire” twin. The make up was too heavy and the wigs too obvious.
Some quotes (sorry not the same in English):
- “Everyone has the right to use the name that fits them. Does it have to be in the constitution?” (Pilar)
- “I don’t know if you are a good man, but you look quite nosy to me.” (Pilar)
- “What’s it to you? What are you, a Holy Joe? Mind your own business. Do your good deeds and leave the evil to me.” (Pilar)
- “Who fucked who, who couldn’t fuck who...” (Sadik)
- “Is she pretty? (Rezzan) - Let’s just say beauty pays in her line of work.” (Sadik)
- “Question one, why Thursdays? Are pimping activities only allowed Thursdays?” (Sadik)
- “Why only warm places? (Fatos) - I’m always cold. What can I do? (Sadik)
- “Could it be that you like to wander on the edge too? Pure pleasure is born from the fountain of evil. Like the Devil resides within us. Good and evil are siblings, after all. (brother twin - Belene) - After all, even a good man can turn into a villain when pursuing justice.” (Sadik)

Scene Description
...the space defined by the activities and relations of the people, emphasizes the coffeehouse as a social space. The coffeehouse has a unique position in the lives of local people; it is a place of approval. Quotation from Kemal , ‘When he retuned to the village, he would enter the coffeehouse saying “hello aghas” and would give out cigarettes that he brought from the city to his fellow villagers like his Gaffur Agha does’ (Kemal 2002: 10) shows the importance of coffeehouse as a place for sharing and approval in one’s community, emphasizing the prestige gained by visiting the city. People experience a sense of belonging, become part of a group and experience public approval in the coffeehouse as in the case of Kemal’s characters: ‘He said “let’s go to my dad’s coffeehouse ... does your father own it? ... no, it’s somebody else’s, but my father likes the place and goes there since thirty years whenever he visits Istanbul.”’ (Kemal 2002: 180) Coffeehouses are narrated as centres of communication, both in terms of collecting and conveying personal and public information. According to Hattox, flow of information may reach a level that would carry intentional false information, especially related to women’s integrity. (Hattox 1998: 89) An example from the texts gives us supportive information:
‘Recently, when Tevfik’s daughter Rabia was the major concern of the neighbourhood, head fireman (tulumbacibasi) ‘brother Sabit’ gathered his team at a corner of the coffeehouse, to talk about her expected marriage ... A young man in the group addressed Sabit saying “ you are the bravest of the young men in the neighbourhood ... you are a bachelor as well ... it’s your responsibility to keep this girl in order. Who else can do it?”’ (Adivar 1969: 87)
 
Some authors emphasize the educational aspect of the coffeehouse space. It is a place for learning, a place where letters are read and written for the illiterate. Mıntzuri in his memoirs from the period of Abdulhamid II, explained how he used to read and write letters for other attendants of the coffeehouse. (Mintzuri 2002:11) In the following example, coffeehouse is portrayed as a place where letters are read and shared: ‘With the letter in his hand, he would run to the coffeehouse and show it to everyone saying “I received a letter from my son’” (Kemal 2002: 138)
 
...As discussed above, complex set of relations in the coffeehouse produces a space that is open to interpretation in different terms and levels among which power holds a specific place. In some examples, the coffeehouse becomes the local gathering area for political groups. In others, power relations between the attendants produce dominating and respected figures in the coffeehouse, such as the coffeehouse owner who is portrayed as a privileged individual who has access to personal information of the people in the neighbourhood.

Beograd walks - part I
...let me now take you for a walk along the streets of Belgrade! Different buildings and street corners that captured our attention. Mostly, Belgrade shows its beauty in white (and that is why it is called BELGRADE = WHITE CITY), grey and sometimes brown tones, so this colourful house is one of the not so many really bright spots of the capital...
Tumblr media
Along with my own remarks on this or that, let me share also some beautiful quotes that I have found about Belgrade. Just feeling absolutely the same way as the authors of the quotations, and couldn't have said it better👍 "Once located at the border between the Turkish and Austro-Hungarian empires, it combines Central European with more Oriental influences, and adds a style and spirit of its own. I can only put it one way: Belgrade is cool." - Bootsnall: Serbia Travel Guide
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
“There are places in Belgrade where picket fences still exist, with weeds of a strong and bitter smell growing right next to them… a turtledove is cooing upon the wild pear branch and the lost field mouse is running in terror or hunger… All these things still exist, in a street with no name and a house with no number… Stuck like thistle to the pants of the metropolis, travelling across a time and space they do not belong to.” Dušan Radović, poet and writer
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
“This grand city seems to have always been like this: torn and split, as if it never exists but is perpetually being created, built upon and recovered. On one side it waxes and grows, on the other it wanes and deteriorates. Ever in motion and rustle, never calm and never knowing tranquility or quiet. The city upon two rivers, on the grand clearing, bound by the winds.” Ivo Andrić, writer and Nobel Prize winner
Tumblr media
"BELGRADE HAS KIND OF A DUBLINESQUE, DEAR-DIRTY CHARM" - Rian Johnson, film producer
Tumblr media
↑... it's not a rare case when you may spot graffitti on Belgrade buildings, even such cool artworks! This one is at Crnogorska Street in Savamala district.
Tumblr media
“The sky above Belgrade is expansive and high, shifting yet always beautiful; clear with its chill splendour during the winter; turning into a single downcast cloud during summer storms, driven by the crazy winds and bearing rain mixed with the dust of the Pannonian plain; seeming to flower along with the ground during spring; and growing heavy with roils of autumnal stars during fall. Always beautiful and bountiful, it is a reward to this odd township for all that is missing and a comfort for everything that should not be.” Ivo Andrić, writer and Nobel Prize winner
Tumblr media
↕… this area is close to the Main Railroad Station of the city. My heart is simply mealting when i see such time-honoured buildings… ever gorgeous!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
↑… apart from the architectural charm of this house, i was attracted by the curious whale graffitti!
Tumblr media
↑... The Belgrade Main Railway Station, built between 1882 and 1885 after the designs of the architect Dragutin Milutinović. It has the status of the сultural monument of great importance. [source: wikipedia]
