In 1842, a statue of Lucifer was quietly removed from the Cathedral of Liege. Because he was too beautiful. www.instagram.com/p/DQPuUX0jFC...

Bu seferki yazı güzel oldu:

“Felix Culpa is not redemption.
It’s aesthetic resilience.
The quiet art of surviving in a defiant form.
Of turning your wound into your voice.
Of refusing to mend quietly.
Of accepting a forever fractured life.” #felixculpa #faust

Sevgili öğrencilerime gelsin;

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.” #poetry #passion #deadpoets

(Kıza az kalsın araba çarpıyordu.) Yolda yürürken, karşıdan karşıya geçerken instagram, tik tok seyrediyorsanız bir sıkıntı olduğunu kabul etseniz iyi olur. Boyun fıtığına da hazır olmanızı öneririm. “Mobil / sosyal medya” bir halk sağlığı problemi olarak kabul edilmedi mi henüz?

Lucifer: Prince of Darkness and Shadow

Milton’s devil is a tragic figure. He is articulate & self-aware. He speaks with the dignity of knowing he’s lost yet refuses silence.

The Fall is not the absence of grace but is the shadow that gives grace its form. #paradiselost #lucifer

Everyone compares this with Tarantino and says it falls short (Pulp Fiction shadow) but this was actually a good film ya… Not the cult line that Tarantino established but in its own merit. #moviesky

Bir bakıma (bireysel) medeniyet, herhangi bir ihtiyaçta binenlerin inenlere öncelik vermesidir. (Toplumsal) medeniyet ise binenlerin inenleri beklememe ihtiyacının oluşmamış olmasıdır diyebiliriz.

#ChatGPT 5 is a bland model, tool etc. and sucks at creative / world-building use. Fully switched to 4o and I will cancel my subscription the moment they shelf 4o, which is superior in creativity. And adults don’t need full crackdown on what AI might consider explicit.

Almanya’da Türkiye kökenli edebiyatta genelde metinler birbirine benziyor. Hikayeler benzer çünkü. Edebiyatı edebiyat yapan şeyin ne olduğu daha dikkat çekiyor. Anlatīlan hikayeden öte nasıl anlatıldığı… Yer yer güzel ama genel olarak OK bir metin. Berlin’i dolanmak guzeldi ama… #Berlin #literature

Herkese bin kere anlattığım mesele: bu yüzden (ve daha bi sürü ideolojik nedenden), it’s not Türkiye; it’s Turkey. Know your history, be proud if you must!
The bird is named after the country, not the other way around 😎 #turkey
