This is my friend, Jas! She is beloved on the island I have called home for years now, as a compassionate, outspoken, kind, and indomitable member of our community. Tonight her ship carrying humanitiarian aid to Gaza was intercepted, and she and her crew have been detained by the IOF. Watching this, listening to these words in her voice, does not feel real.

If you are in the U.S. please contact your representatives now and demand the safe release of Jasmine Sau Mun Ikeda, the release of her crew and all humanitarian aid workers, the release of aid to the people of Gaza, and a ceasefire NOW!

Closed captions added by me. Video Transcript is under the cut:

Hi, my name is Jasmine Ikeda, and I'm born and raised in the illegally occupied nation of Hawaii, holding a US passport. If you're watching this video, I have been kidnapped against my will by the IOF for attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. Please demand of the US government to stop the genocide to stop supplying Israel with funds and weapons of mass destruction, and please demand the release and safety of me and my comrades. Thank you.

- Yurttaşlık haklarımız falan yok. İfade özgürlüğü imkansız bir şey.

- İnsanlar mücadele etmezse imkansız olur.

- İmkansız çünkü insanlar korkuyor! Artık öğrenci değilsin Katie, bunlar büyüklerin siyaseti. Aptalca ve tehlikeli şeyler.

- Susacak mıyız peki tehlikeli diye?

- Nafile bir çaba. Tek yaptıkları kendilerine zarar vermek. Hiçbir şey değişmeyecek. Yıllarca hapis ve düşmanlıktan sonra faşist bir yapımcı filmini kurtarsın diye komünist bir yazara ihtiyaç duyunca onu işe alacaklar. Sonra filmi çekecek, yemek yiyecek ve karşılıklı tenis oynayacaklar; birbirlerinin eşlerini ayartacaklar! Ne diye hapse girsinler o zaman? Siyasi bir kavga uğruna mı!

-  Bana insanların mahvedilmesine göz yum diyorsun; para dışında hiçbir şey için sesini çıkarmayan bir kentte çalışabilmen uğruna!

- Ben insanlar lanet bir cadı avından daha önemlidir diyorum. Sen ve ben! Davalar değil, ilkeler değil.

- İnsan ilkeleridir Hubbell.

Büyük savaş sonrası McCarthy döneminin faşist karanlığında dünya görüşü birbirinden farklı bir çiftin zorlu yolculuğunu konu alan bu film, aynı zamanda yoğun duyguların gücü karşısında ideolojik-sınıfsal ayrımların ve ideolojik-sınıfsal ayrımların yoğun etkileri karşısında duygusal bağların nasıl kırılgan hale gelebildiği üzerine düşündüren 1973 tarihli bir Sidney Pollack yapımı.

Robert Redford denilince aklıma geldi, vakti olanlara film önerisi olsun.

« Everyone should sometimes write by hand, to recall what it’s like to have second thoughts before the first ones are completely recorded.

Human beings have long wanted our technologies of writing to approximate as closely as possible the speed of thought: from writing on clay, to writing on paper, to writing some version of shorthand, to typing on a typewriter, to typing on a computer’s keyboard, to dictating to voice-recognition software — each technological development asymptotically approaches falling into step with our thinking. Rarely is the possibility considered that thought moves too quickly, and that matching our writing to the pace of the body’s movements may yield something, well, more thoughtful. »

"Bana istisnasız herkes kızıyor; kafalarındaki beni bozduğum için."

[exhaled-spirals]

« The essence of reality is meaning. That which has no meaning is not real for us. Every fragment of reality lives due to the fact that it partakes of some sort of universal meaning. The old cosmogonies expressed this in the maxim 'in the beginning was the Word'. The unnamed does not exist for us. To name something means to include it in some universal meaning.

[…] The word in its colloquial, present-day meaning is now only a fragment, a rudiment of some former, all-encompassing, integral mythology. For that reason, it retains within it a tendency to grow again, to regenerate, to become complete in its full meaning. The life of the word resides in the fact that it tenses and strains to produce a thousand associations, like the quartered body of the snake of legend, whose separate pieces sought each other in the dark. […]

[A]nd this tendency of the word to return to its nursery, its yearning to revert to its origins, to its verbal homeland, we term poetry.

Poetry is the short-circuiting of meaning between words, the impetuous regeneration of primordial myth. When we employ commonplace words, we forget that they are fragments of ancient and eternal stories, that, like barbarians, we are building our homes out of fragments of sculptures and the statues of the gods.

[…] The spirit's first and foremost function is to tell stories and to make up 'tales'. The driving force of human knowledge is the conviction that at the end of its investigations, it will discover the ultimate meaning of the world. […] The human spirit is tireless in its glossing of life with the aid of myths, in its 'making sense' of reality. The word itself, left to its own devices, gravitates towards meaning. […] Speech is the metaphysical organ of man. […] The poet restores conductivity to words through new short-circuits, which arise out of their fusions. […] Philosophy is really philology, the creative exploration of the word. »

— Bruno Schulz, "The mythologization of reality"
