    San?r?m Türkçe dergiler aras?nda en sevdi?im yay?n Cogito. Ancak bir süredir takip edemedi?im için “Türkiyeli Kad?n Felsefeciler” say?s?ndan yeni haberim oldu. Görür görmez de sipari? verdim.

  • Alan Moore’s Dodgem Logic

    When I read Alan Moore is retiring from comics, first thing that popped into my mind was his experimental magazine Dodgem Logic.

  • Refreshing My Patreon

    I’ve been on Patreon as a creator for some time but to be honest, I was not using here for it’s full potential. There were many reasons for that. Things like being a freelancer forcing me to work on many different stuff, some changes and other stuff happening on the personal side and me starting…

    There are many things that drives me away from social media, especially from Twitter. One of those is the fact that, from my perspective, social media kills conversation and replaces it with stats (likes, RTs…). This tweet from Jay (her account is one of my favorites on Twitter btw) made me think about this more.…
