This is not the time to discuss it, but what appears to be the iconic image of a protester in Istanbul disguised as a whirling dervish is actually less "iconic" than one might think.

A huge anti-Erdoğan protest tonight in Istanbul, defying a four day national ban on protests, to denounce the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu.
"Break down those barricades without harming the police. Take to the streets and squares", Ozgur Ozel, an opposition leader, told protesters.

If someone wishes you "happy holidays," it doesn't mean they hate Christmas. They're simply acknowledging that there are *many* sacred observances that take place this month, including the anniversary of Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing a shoe at George W Bush on this date in 2008.

This is a very good article which I'm citing in a forthcoming paper. Yes, that is why I really went into academia: to boost the numbers of old friends who were already there.
2- Another paper on the value of slacking off at work was recently published in PT. Drawing on the sociology of work and everyday resistance, I argue that shirking under the structural domination of capitalism has diagnostic, agential, and epistemic values.
