An environmental activist and journalist, Hakan Tosun was found unconscious after being attacked in Istanbul on 11 October, 2025. The footages display 2 attackers aiming his head. Two days after, Tosun died of brain hemorrhage. States masterfully shuffle targets & tools of repression for interest.

I wish the people around me would've understood how much hormones can affect my ADHD symptoms. Some days, I just can't get any work done with how bad my brain fog gets and I feel like all I can do is ride it out (and try to be gentle with myself).

This is the kind of psy research that deeply despairs me about the future of social sciences in empowering communities... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Let me explain shortly:

"It's not aid. It's control masked as compassion."

PKK's emphasis on "new beginnings" can be also considered as a further step in decentering the social representational realm of the Kurdish Liberation Movement. An efficient decentering of KLM will probably depend on sociopulitical and cultural reclaiming at the Kurdish and leftist margins.

PKK's announcement of disbanding involves a critical remark: "We invite international powers not to prevent the democratic solution by acknowledging their responsibility in the century-long genocidal politics against our people and to contribute to the process in a constructive way".

obligatory public exposure to the Friday's homophobic khutbah today. so-aimed at promoting marriage & family: "Especially the homosexuality that led Lot and his followers to their exhaustion, imposed on the whole world under the guise of freedom is a deviance damned by God, a haram, and huge sin."

This work (its preprint version) was very useful for me to argue for a need to rethink about the ingroup evaluations of past action effectiveness as an outcome in itself in relation to social power from below bcs they are part of the normative influence shaping the movement's collective continuity.
