#ChatGPT's new memory aggregator describes me. I would like to disavow its characterisation of the #Abjad system as an 'oddity' but I do feel seen

Delighted to be working with my colleague @peterjcherry.bsky.social on this new @thebiaankara.bsky.social led, @britishacademy.bsky.social funded project supporting Early Career Researchers in Türkiye working in interdisciplinary gender studies: biaa.ac.uk/call-for-par...

Genius elegy for the underwhelming season of #ACMilan and the management ills behind it, set to music from Frozen. It’s been stuck in my head for 2 days now youtube.com/shorts/YR4cF...

I took this picture of #BasharAlAssad and his framed buddies in a #Damascus shop window in September 2008. Very different times. WIshing the people of #Syria good things in 2025 #HappyNewYear

Really enjoyed listening to #JohnMcManus talk about #TurkishFootball with @peterjcherry.bsky.social & #IsilayGursu on #HeritageTurkiye, the new podcast from @thebiaankara.bsky.social. John’s 2018 book on the topic, ‘Welcome to Hell?’, is even better (a.co/d/0mYWBc3) youtu.be/tPi659UVkbI?...

Match Day 5: #HakanCalhanoglu & #InterMilan win; #KeremAkturkoglu, #OrkunKokcu & #Benfica win; #KenanYildiz & #Juventus draw; #ArdaGuler & #RealMadrid lose. Just keeping tabs. I know it's a weird way to mentally frame it but I'm rooting for the #MilliTakimlar diaspora in #ChampionsLeague
