In Between Days of Sinéad O'Connor

at the Grammy's in 1989

 

In the midst of Brit-Pop mania, Sleeper released Inbetweener, a song about the suburb, boredom, frustration and lack of a deeper connection in love, in life. The song ends “Now it's much too late to ask me where I've been You were just my in-betweener”. It’s about 7.30PM when the song ends on 26 July 2023, Jo Whiley talks at her usual fast speed about next day show with Steve Lamacq on BBC having a memory lane special about Brit-Pop when she abruptly reports Sinéad O'Connor’s death.

A young menopausée has left our soil, it's now her time to fly high.

In 1992, aged 26, Sinéad O'Connor condemns the Catholic Church for sexually abusing over 70000 children and tears off a picture of the then pope. Many artists like Madonna will condemn the Irish singer and activist for her action!

13 days later, at a Bob Dylan Anniversary concert, she gets booed for speaking up, for breaking silence on abuse. The violence of that scene is chilling, but here she stands defiantly, looking straight, taking the crap!

On 3 October 2013, she writes to Miley Cyrus in The Guardian warning the young singer about the phallocratic patriarchy in the music business. Followed up days later by Annie Lennox.

Today, Annie Lennox celebrates the singer Sinéad O'Connor joining Massive Attack; Jah Wobble; Brendan Courtney; Louise Woodward-Styles; Laura Cumming; Sinead O’ Shea and so many more for days.

Sadly there is Carole Boinet, sales girl for Les Inrocks where I was sexually harassed in 1991-1992 celebrating my aggressor celebrating the Irish abused female performer and activist! Whom in 1997, he describes in his first paragraphs as morphed by maternity as well as a pacified woman... an artist on her way to maturity when nobody thought she would be capable one day of such writing clarity due to be a tormented soul! Following her death, the former Inrock journalist, sacked journalist, continues his indecency with an anecdote, bragging about being in Letterman's green room and keeps his publicity vivid! (Torments for victims of sexual violence [term he refutes via RT] in journalism never ends as death of an interviewee is an opportunity for predators to be re-born / re-promoted!)

Also sadly, neither Miley Cyrus (too busy promoting a perfume that celebrates 'inner strength') nor Madonna (too busy feeling 'like the Luckiest Star in the world!') have a word for the voice for the voiceless.

Hopefully BBC will put the link back to hear Jo Whiley and Sinéad O'Connor discussing regrets and more... In between without you Without you Without you Without you Without you, without you Without you, without you

Eviction: from Mailchimp to flat in no time

Updates on aqua stabilo Early February 2019 , French journalists investigated on La Ligue du LOL and some of them got sacked (rightly or not) rather unprofessionally. I was sending emails to journalists in France which subject matter was 'enquete' as 'investigation' regarding said Ligue du Lol, unaware that Le Monde & its directors ( Jerome Fenoglio , Louis Dreyfus , Luc Bronner ) were actually investigating on my aggressor via Caroline De Haas & Marine Turchi / Lenaig Bredoux of Mediapart . As soon as I received my first threat, I sent it to them on 21 Fev 2019 :  26 February 2019 , following an audit (started in January/early February 2019 ) by Caroline De Haas 's Cabinet Egae in Telerama ( Le Groupe Le Monde ): " «  Le 26 février, j’ai reçu un signalement du groupe Egae visant deux personnes » , explique à Mediapart Catherine Sueur ... " (Presidente for Telerama since January 2019 ) 14 March 2019 , Le Monde blocked me on Twitter as i ndic

  This post was published on Mailchimp on 20 September 2021. Updates are in aqua stabilo Slightly over a year ago, I started a hunger strike.  When a friend contacted the Police, two policemen kicked my London flat's front door so hard that I had to open it. They wanted to make sure I was not going to damage myself. I told them I didn't want to die, I wanted to be heard by the French journalists / 'feminists' in regards of sexual violence they silence / let happen to me / others in journalism / photography!  I told the policemen I couldn't quite understand why my life was so important when nobody at the police station could do anything about the constant anonymous threats I have been receiving or the ongoing psychological abuse I get from my aggressors in the Paris based magazine Les Inrocks I worked for 30 years ago!  I told them " basically you want to make sure I stay alive so I can still be abused? " I have been hesitating to write / send this missive

Cut Me Down (& that's not Lloyd Cole)

  “... this person is clearly very mentally ill and in distress . Mailchimp should be looking into how she is using its service ” Sian Cain , 21 September 2021 ,  The Guardian ’s Culture Commissioning Editor (promoted to Deputy Culture Editor in Australia as announced 25 October 2021   https://twitter.com/siancain/status/1452626141987033090 ) because I, Sybille Castelain , dared speak up about sexual harassment and ongoing psychological harassment I have endured. Outcome of her stunt: eviction !   Below are samples of what is said about me on Twitter via two ex Inrocks journalists (& colleagues) & various accounts (5 in total - 2 on show here) created to harass / discredit / vilify me. They also say I never reply to court documents: I never received any. The one I received on email was fake. I have received a Jury Summons to attend in London which I replied and was due to start attending in June 2020 but was cancelled due to the pandemic. Mentions of The Guardian :
