One whole year later

May 28, 2022
Or even almost 13 months, if I am to be more exact. I did not even think about this blog for all this time. Which is funny because I have been noodling around with the very idea of blogs, not what is written in them but their app…

Please do not talk to me about it

April 12, 2021
When I first started to question the occurrences of 2020, I was alone. No one around me, not even a single person, agreed with me or was willing to even consider some of what was bothering me. Which is an understatement, if ever …

An interval of unease

July 14, 2020
I sleep a lot. Most of the day I am asleep. I wake up very late in the afternoon. I need the little black cat to be with me, and she usually does not make an appearance until sunrise. So, I toss around waiting for her – not havin…

And... There is Life on the Street!

June 01, 2020
I am not going to make this long. There is a lot to write, to think about and to self-examine. Especially self-examine. Back when I wrote this 2 months ago I was wrong in something quite fundamental, and that was my underestimati…

Is this a religion now?

May 08, 2020
This man I know. In general good health as far as I am aware. Very intelligent. Educated. Creative. Sophisticated. And scared to death of getting sick with the virus, as I found out earlier today.

The music that we lost...

May 06, 2020
Which is also the America that we lost... Because regardless of whether we ourselves were Americans or not, the music was ours. We lost the music. They bid their silent adieus and gracefully vanished into the night. So gently, s…

Best Friend Forever

April 30, 2020
Kemal. He is a wily old geezer. A Kurd from AÄŸrı who has been around the block a few times. He owns a tiny tea counter in the marketplace. And he is a very special friend. When the marketplace closed down I heard that he had gon…

Isn't it my job to fret?

April 26, 2020
My nearest and dearest appear to be worried about me. "What difference does it make if you fret like this?" "You cannot change anything, so why not try to be 'more normal' about all of this?" These ar…

Taking out yesterday's trash

April 12, 2020
I saw this a little while ago: https://off-guardian.org/2020/04/12/why-are-some-alt-media-embracing-a-permanent-police-state/ I wasn't going to post anything for a while. I was all written out, after the last one. But now I t…

Who Benefits?

March 29, 2020
A few hours after I made that post yesterday, about half of which asks the question "who benefits" to which I myself cannot find the answer, I came across this video .

Üsküdar

August 16, 2019
I have been working on the Istanbul Facebook page quite diligently. However, so far I have not really ventured much outside of my own hood, BeÅŸiktaÅŸ, where God knows there is enough material to fill not only one but many Faceboo…

BeÅŸiktaÅŸ

July 23, 2019
I am not terribly patriotic when I think about Turkey as a whole. Sure I want the country to be OK. Sure, I want it to get out from under this yoke of oppression and tyranny - which I am fairly confident that it will, sooner or …

My city is Istanbul

July 19, 2019
I may have found a way to put my street photos to some use. Not in terms of creativity, or design. I still have no ambitions or confidence in that regard. But there is something else that has been bugging me for ages, and there …

Julian Assange

July 15, 2019
I am very upset about this. In fact, I obsess about it. For the man himself and what he has been subjected to obviously, but I also obsess about what this means. In Gordon Dimmack 's words "this is the biggest story ever…
