1/2 In our tiny little #SPS community we lost three friends since last Christmas. I used to know one of them, Ândrea from Brazil. The last time we were in touch she was very eager to do something this year on this special day. So…I dedicate this piece to her.

I am blocked by the Izmir Mayor and my district Narlidere Mayor due to my social media posts on accessibility and disability rights. They are not from the Justice and Development Party, Rebublicans…
There is no freedom of expression for us, disabled people.

“Irkçılığa, transfobiye, sağlamcılığa, sınıf temelli ayrımcılığa ve diğerlerine karşı birlikte mücadele etmiyorsanız; birini alıp ötekini unutuyorsanız faşizme karşı da savaşamazsınız.”

Bugün geldiğimiz noktada ben de bunu anlatmaya çalışıyorum.
CHP bizi bölüyor yerelde.

There can be no left resistance to the reactionary onslaught without an uncompromising radical intersectional commitment

You can't fight fascism if you're not fighting racism, transphobia, ableism, classism etc

There can be no pick and choose and no opposing one to the other

I am participating in a disability sexuality and rights online school and all the faculty from the South, from African countries.
This is the most productive school I have ever been in my life!
Think about #racism again
We need a new curriculum which is #anticolonial in HE! #disabilityandgenocide

I have been dealing with a debilitating super rare disease. My spoons are very limited this year. Check out the spoon theory for disabled folks. This platform was quite empty. That’s why I haven’t checked out for so long. But I can start a new page in my virtual social scientific life🙏🏻

Hastalığım 2023 sonbaharından beri ilerledi. Bağımsızlığım azaldı. Tek başıma evden çıkamıyorum. Enerjimi işe ayırmaya çalışıyorum. Spoon theory diyoruz sakatlar olarak. Diğer hesabı buraya geçiş az diye tutuyordum. Bakmayalı epey göç olmuş🙏🏻
