It was a pleasure joining Melinda Karaca for her podcast about #love and #literature. We talked about #TheMuseumofInnocence and #OrhanPamuk. open.spotify.com/episode/32CS...

I'm thrilled to see a recently published lecture by my favorite philosopher, Vinciane Despret. Anyone interested in the ways in which we relate to animals should follow her work. youtu.be/BssYzBfLtgk?...

Masumiyet Müzesi'ni "İlişkisellik İnceleme Serisi" ile mercek altına alıyorum. Bu zincirde, serinin tüm bölümlerini bulabilirsiniz: #1: Hikâyenin Freudyen bir anlatı olduğunu vurgularken; Freud’un özne kavramlarını MM çerçevesinde yeniden hatırlatıyorum. youtu.be/qv9RET3KaaM

11. Still Life (1997). Intersperses footage of ad photographers with essayistic ruminating on 17th century still life paintings. Secular capitalism seemingly eliminates the possibility of divine objects while channeling the divine into the commodity through ideas of beauty, luxury, and perfection.

Do you also collect objects? The episode about the temporality and materiality of objects at #themuseumofinnocence is now online. I am joined by art historian and curator Irem Sezer, and we discussed the story of #OrhanPamuk’s novel by focusing on the museum itself. youtu.be/ncdSqg26xOs?...

I wrote on the search for the feminine subjectivity through power of writing, and held hands of #AnnieErnaux and #VigdisHjorth. open.substack.com/pub/julideda...

a wonderful essay about Hjorth's If Only, the difference between male and female writers, and the power of writing (as a form of surviving tool for women) "...Ida doing something the younger couldn’t: she chooses herself as the wounded person she is." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I love you, childhood. - Irigaray

It is very hopeful for all of us that the future might be brighter, and racial capitalism will have less and less of an impact on the world of the new generation. Winning against billionaires shows that people united will never be defeated.

This book helps us rethink our positionality as distant witnesses, our possible instincts of “saviorism,” and the role of photography in shaping perception. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I did. open.substack.com/pub/julideda...

Rural landscape-inspired textile art with view to fields until the horizon, using hand-dyed fabric, stitching and mixed media by UK textile artist Magz Roberts #WomensArt

🔥 “Hellworld examines the megastructures of global capitalism, asking how revolutionary subjectivity might emerge within and against capital’s domesticating force. Central to this inquiry is the planetary factory...” Sep 2025.

A new little series for the summer! These will be mixed-media embroidery landscapes, I collected a small handful of pine bark when I was on holiday recently as I loved the curious shapes! I painted them grey and now they're perfect little rocks for some seascapes 😊 #sewing #artproject

If you tell someone you are thinking about ending your life, they’d immediately (and maybe instinctively) try to stop you. But somehow they justify the death of thousands in their heads. Weirdos.

I'm wondering how I'll explain to my daughter that, even two years later, people are still debating whether it was a genocide.

I don't see any difference between this disgusting pamphlet and the Nazi propaganda that urged good Germans to report Jews and foreigners to the authorities.

Next time someone asks, “What about Sudan? Why do you never talk about it?” Instead of telling them about interconnected imperialisms and oppressions, just ask them calmly, “What about it?” and wait for them to tell you NOTHING.

I encourage everyone to begin writing "genocide witnessing" diaries; we will need them in the future to document the true (decolonial) history.

Trying to understand (a) under what authority you can detain a boat in international waters and force occupants to watch a video and (b) why witnessing any sort of violence could convince us that starving an entire population to death is justified.

Happy to share that I’ve completed three tasks on my to-do list — including drinking 2 liters of water. Well done, me!

I wonder why the famine is the West’s “red line”

Disgusting www.dropsitenews.com/p/netanyahu-...

Yesterday, they drew the red line, today they beat up protesting students, what a country

April 15 SkySat imagery from @planet.com shows Tell Ali Muntar, an archeological site already damaged last year, has been further damaged/turned into an IDF staging area with berms. A nearby cemetery has also been damaged. This is part of the IDF's expansion of the buffer zone into Shejaiya.

How can I convince my regular visitor birds that I’m not a threat?
