So being against racism and fascism and standing with one’s community for self-defense is now considered a crime? Shame on UNC.

This is Dwayne Dixon. I know Dwayne and the students testifying to how great of a professor he is in the comments on Instagram are as shocked as I am.

Solidarity, now and forever.

“This is the most frightening moment of my life,” she added. "The only thing that has ever worked...is solidarity: binding together, finding bravery in numbers too big to ignore, and standing up for one another.”

"Daha sonraya bırakma şeyleri
Daha sonra kahve soğur
Daha sonra ilgini kaybedersin.
Daha sonra gün geceye döner.
Daha sonra insanlar büyür.
Daha sonra,insanlar yaşlanır daha sonra,ömür geçer.
Daha sonra pişman olursun yapmadın diye bir şeyi
Hazır şansın varken"

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Bütün savaşlardan sonra
birinin ortalığı toplaması gerekir.
Ortalık kendi kendini
toplayacak değildir ya.

Birilerinin çekmesi gerekir
molozları yolun kıyısına
ki ceset dolu arabalar
yol alabilsin.

- Wisława Szymborska

After every war
someone has to tidy up.
Things won’t pick
themselves up, after all.

Someone has to shove
the rubble to the roadsides
so the carts loaded with corpses
can get by.

-Wisława Szymborska, “The End and the Beginning” (t. Cavanagh & Barańczak)
#everynightapoem #war

The End and the beginning
After every war
someone has to tidy up.
Things won't pick themselves up, after all.
Someone has to shove the rubble to the roadsides so the carts loaded with corpses can get by.
Someone has to trudge through sludge and ashes, through the sofa springs, the shards of glass, the bloody rags.
Someone has to lug the post to prop the wall,
someone has to glaze the window, set the door in its frame.
No sound bites, no photo opportunities, and it takes years.
All the cameras have gone to other wars.
The bridges need to be rebuilt, the railroad stations, too.
Shirtsleeves will be rolled to shreds.
286
Someone, broom in hand, still remembers how it was.
Someone else listens, nodding his unshattered head.
But others are bound to be bustling nearby who'll find all that a little boring.
From time to time someone still must dig up a rusted argument from underneath a bush and haul it off to the dump.
Those who knew
what this was all about must make way for those who know little.
And less than that.
And at last nothing less than nothing.
Someone has to lie there in the grass that covers up the causes and effects
with a cornstalk in his teeth, gawking at clouds.

Manguel imzaları (kısmen) tamam! Ben imzalatırken 3 kitap sınırı koydular, o kötü oldu. 😖 Haklılardı sınır koymakta ama en baştan yapmadılar, sorun orada. Bu arada şunu farkettim: bendeki 7 kitabın hepsinin çevirmeni farklı! Aynı yayınevinde 1 yazarı 1 çevirmen çalışmalı bence…
