What's the fuzz about the new Epstein files? Nothing is going to change in our lives other than knowing that there's no limit to evil. Nobody will be charged or punished.

It’s so difficult to read Sara Ahmed. I want to underline literally every statement. How brilliantly she writes and manages to deliver deep meaning with each word. So relevant and so encompassing. I want to be her.

It's horrifying to see what we had said would happen is now unfolding before our eyes. It's not an "I have told you so" moment. Far from it. The moment most of you stayed silent on the genocide in Gaza and the moment our voices meant nothing... that's when we passed a threshold. That's it.

With Francesco Billari and @aksoyundan.bsky.social, we investigated how incidence of abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth changed under the anti-abortion campaign in Turkey.
