Having experienced both systems (and more) for years, moving back and forth, I see one key skill in the academic dance with authority as knowing where to research what. You are clearly privileged in the choreography of Turkey, and good for you. But what matters here isn't whether Turkey feels freer to you personally. It's whether it offers systematic academic freedom to rely on, for scholars in general, and especially for those who ask uncomfortable questions or dissent from power. Your personal privilege does not replace institutional protections that safeguard all researchers, not just skilled dancers.

one thing i regret about having read waiting for the fear in english is that i will never get to experience reading the forgotten in turkish for the first time. because what the fuck was that.

@winnie4prez old one but Dyke and Murphy's (2006) How We Define Success might help understand the situation a bit better.

@BarryPierce can't participate the book club sadly, but this tweet just reminded me to get this book.

you are doomed to achieve nothing as a leftist because you are not nearly as self-deceived as you pretend to be. your politics serve to soothe your conscience while preserving a sense of superiority over others. i know you ain't gonna fix your heart. so put a lid on it.

a tweet written by a bitter performative leftist asshole:

[Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation @karaokecomputer]

Marjane Satrapi made a career out of proliferating orientalist western caricatures of her own people. While Satrapi cashed in on racist campaigns thinly veiled by anti-patriarchal rhetoric calling for 'regime change' in Iran, she never once used her platform to speak out against the ongoing existential threats presented by Western powers against Palestinian, Lebanese, Iranian and ALL other Muslim women in West Asia. It's a fitting end for someone who remained blithely silent through three years of genocide in the region that raised her to literally die of grief over the loss of one gangly Swedish white guy.

@leavingmecold my professor of mine is a medical anthropologist and my friend also works in the same field, if that works?

no hate to oomf but a lot of people here are mistaking self-consciousness and individualism with self-awareness.

The death of literary culture began when professors stopped treating novels as works of art and started treating them as ideological evidence.

[eve @cestpashera]

why does everyone think they are a big shot literary machine? what happened to the dedication that pushed writers to the brink of neuroticism?
