Zafer Duygu ile hazırladığımız K(h)ristolojiye Giriş'in 2. baskısı çıktı. Hristiyanlığa dair eskimiş bilgileri atıp yeni bilgi ve yorumları edinmeniz için önemlidir. Rahat okunan bir kitap olması için uğraştık, terim sözlüğü de ekledik. İstanbul Yayınevi’ne çok teşekkürler.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

Can you say more about it being called “The Dusty” in Diyarbakir? Somewhere along the way the term غبيراء moves in Arabic from describing fermented millet drinks to describing weed. 🤪
