My god. It’s happening. A post-Bashar Syria.

I’d also add Spyros Vrionis’s The Mechanism of Catastrophe in English to the list, and for those who read Greek, the translation of Dilek Güven’s book (Εθνικισμός, Κοινωνικές Μεταβολές και Μειονότητες) and Σεπτεμβριανά 1955: Η «νύχτα των κρυστάλλων» του Ελληνισμού της Πόλης

Does anyone know anything about this magnificent mansion in Ordu? Photographed it in 2010 when it appeared abandoned but must surely have an interesting history.

I’ve always loved this @iraglass quote on creating art and writing. It rang true the first time I read it and still did when I ran across it today. Keep creating, friends.
