New Year Reflections. “The Future Is Unwritten” ☘️ Yaşamak direnmektir.

If there is anything certain about the future, it is never singular, always plural, future(s). Never pre-ordained.

Queering determinism and the futures in the making by Joe Strummer.

Regardless of what happens, futures are always unwritten and will be plural.

Joe Strummer was born in Ankara.

Queer

Luca Guadagnino

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE

Italy, United States of America | 2024 | 135m | English, Spanish, French

"It takes risk to translate the work of William S. Burroughs for the screen,"

"Luca Guadagnino’s (Call Me by Your Name) spin on the Beat legend’s autobiographical novel matches its source material in vulnerability and taboo-smashing adventurousness.

Adapted by Justin Kuritzkes, #Queer is both faithful to the #book and a radical re-imagining."

Why We Don’t Know AI's True Water Footprint

Miranda Gabbott - Nov 26, 2024

"In a climate crisis, where any large consumer of water must be evaluated, it is nonsensical that data centers do not have to declare their numbers. If such reporting were public, the popular imaginary of AI as something which only exists in the immaterial world of cyberspace might change to something coherent with its environmental impacts."

In her essay “The Operating Instructions,” Le Guin wrote, “Home isn’t where they have to let you in. It’s not a place at all."

"Home and homecoming were among the most powerful themes of Le Guin’s work [..] “home” stood for many things, including being true to one’s art."

Where is home in times of polycrisis in an uncertain international order?

While authoritarian regimes, post-truth, disinformation, and climate emergency continue to rise, and the futures of the liberal international order and the nation-state concept are increasingly contested in global governance, Ursula Le Guin’s works suggest that 'home' is not a place but being true to one’s art and staying on the side of truth, instead of power.

For the high modernist, uncertainty is an ‘accident’. For the queer, uncertainty is a portal to new insights, liberation and social justice.

"I think hard times are coming, when we will be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, and can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies, to other ways of being. And even imagine some real grounds for hope. We will need writers who can remember freedom."

“Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

• Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018)

“What kind of ancestors do we want to be? With every action or inaction, we help decide how the future will unfold. What principles and commitments do we want to adopt for a democracy that doesn't yet exist? How will we cast our votes for a society we won't live to see?”

Climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday visited Istanbul’s Açık Radyo, whose broadcasts were silenced earlier this month after a guest spoke on air about the Armenian genocide.

https://en.armradio.am/2024/10/25/greta-thunberg-visits-turkey-radio-station-closed-over-armenia-genocide-row/

Greta supports Açık Radyo: "Açık Radyo should stay open! I support Açık Radyo. It is more important than ever that we have honest media platforms that tell the truth about the climate crisis and human rights."
