“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”

Barnaby Edwards - Jeanette Winterson

(ink and Conté pastel on paper, 2023)

Today’s LGBTQ+ hero is the author Jeanette Winterson (1959-present), a glorious writer. Her first book, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, is a semi-autobiographical account of a teenage lesbian - and hasn’t aged a day.

“Some nights there's time to walk outside. Some nights there's time to let the natural world in. Sounds. Silence. Dark. Even in the city we can find it. And these summer days when dawn is here so early, don't miss it, even if it's just once, to be there before the world wakes you. To be. The Solstice, and the days that follow are a time for you to be. It's nearly midnight. I'm going outside. There's a candle in the window and I won't blow it out. You'll know where I am.” - Excerpt from Jeanette Winterson's Substack newsletter Goodbye 2022, I am filled with gratitude for you. 2023, please find the home with the candle in the window. #bangalorediaries #home #lightseeker #stillness #reflection #anicca #moon #nightwalking #nightscape #jeanettewinterson #goodbye2022 (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1vrGmoRuG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Unbelievable. This was a really special evening to be a part of. I relished performing tracks from Mynd again with Faith Brackenbury, this time live @hayfestival for @bbcradio3 Night Tracks event & meeting the loveliest people from Night Tracks @saramohrpietsch + @doverandoverandoverandover .

The performance was recorded live and will be broadcast on tomorrow night (Wednesday) and Thursday episodes of Night Tracks (BBCR3 10pm) alongside a fabulous interview with #jeanettewinterson .

It was all over too quickly so I’m thrilled it’ll be relived again on #nighttracks - tune in tomorrow + Thurs.

W I L D & T A M E “What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you.” #JeanetteWinterson . @indianmotorcycle @rolandsandsdesign #wildheart #juxtaposed #wild & #tame #lifeontheroad #womenwhoride #wearealltrulywild https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhkDY2B6r4/?igshid=17108hiehsled

"ben de özgürlüğün güçlülükle, zenginlikle, saygınlıkla ya da sorumsuzlukla ilgisi olmadığını düşünüyorum, sevmektir özgürlük. Kendi kendini bir an için bile olsa unutacak kadar sevmek başka birisini..." syf.176 . "Derler ki aşk insanı köleleştirir, tutku şeytanın ta kendisidir, aşk yüzünden yitip giden nice insan vardır. Doğrudur, biliyorum, ama bildiğim bir şey daha var: Aşk olmasa yaşamımızın tünellerinde el yordamıyla sürünür, güneşi hiç görmeyiz. Âşık olduğumda sanki bir aynaya baktım ve ilk kez kendimi gördüm." syf.177 Savaş yıllarında Napolyon'un tavukçubaşılığını yapan bir adam, geçimini erkek kılığına girerek kazanan bir kadın, savaş, milliyet, şans, aşk ve delilik etrafında ilerleyen bir hikâye. #jeanettewinterson #tutku #çeviri #pınarkür #selyayıncılık #kitap #neokuyorum #okumakiptiladır #okumahalleri https://www.instagram.com/p/B65SIWhJCEq/?igshid=1x7cmf7gu86j

Today, in 1957 Russia sent Laika into space. She was not the only space dog but she caught and held the imagination of the world. Her story and her death is awful, but Jeanette Winterson gives us a myth to hold onto: “When the Russians blasted Laika into space in 1957, they knew she wasn't coming back. An automatic hypodermic would poison her after seven days. She would orbit in her sputnik until the universe stopped. When they closed the lid on Laika she trembled and her mouth went dry. there was water in a tube and she had been taught to drink from it. There was food too, but she didn't want water and food, she wanted her master, and night, and quiet, and all this was not to be. She was patient. She would have gone to the ends of the earth for her master. Instead she went into space.... As the pod came round again, Atlas freed one of his hands from his monstrous burden and caught it. It lay there like a lamed insect on his palm, and there was something inside. Atlas cracked open the sputnik and found Laika, strapped down, unable to move, partly bald with fear and covered in sweat and urine and her own feces. With infinite care, Atlas freed the dog, and set it down safely on nothing and gave it water to drink. The speck-sized dog in the star-stretched universe licked the giant's hand. At that moment the needle in the pod moved to inject its victim but it was too late. Laika was free. Atlas knocked the pod aside, the silly thing of tin and wires, and Laika crawled unsteadily up his arm until she found a place to sleep, in a hollow of his shoulder under the wavelength of his hair. Atlas had long ago ceased to feel the weight of the world he carried, but he felt the skin and bone of this little dog. Now he was carrying something he wanted to keep, and that changed everything." - Jeanette Winterson "Weight" #myth #story #dogstagram #jeanettewinterson #laika #spacedog #storytelling https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aKLGRgJ6S/?igshid=1ats8nqfly88p

Retellings for #riotgrams! It’s kind of obvious from the covers what each is a retelling of, except for Poor Things, which bills itself a postmodern revision of Frankenstein. I love that these are all female-centric retellings in some way, four of them authored by women, and Gray’s Poor Things replaces Frankenstein’s monster with Bella Baxter, a drowned woman brought back to life with the brain of an infant. Some of my all-time favorite authors on display here! . . #retellings #bookstack #bookdragon #merlinsbooke #janeyolen #greatexpectations #kathyacker #weight #jeanettewinterson #onethousandandonenights #hananalshaykh #alasdairgray #poorthings #booknerd https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiHWG6ARzn/?igshid=127ky4nubzra4

"İnsan soyu cahil kalmayı sürdürür, çünkü bilgi onun sonudur. İnsanın icat ettiği her şey, döner dolaşır onu yok eder. Kardeşin Promethus ateşi çalmıştı, peki insanlar bu armağanla ne yaptı? Birbirlerinin ekinlerini, evlerini yakmayı öğrendiler. Kheiron size ilaçları öğretmişti, peki siz ne yapmayı öğrendiniz? Zehir. Ares silahları elinize tutuşturmuştu, peki ya siz birbirinizi öldürmekten başka ne yaptınız? Ya sen, Atlas, yarı-insan, yarı-tanrı olan sen bile dünyanın en güzel kentini yok ettin. Başkalarının ekip biçtiğini görmektense, kendi çiftliğini yakıp yıkmayı yeğledin. Düşmanın eline geçmesin diye kendi gemilerini batırdın..."
