I had my thymoma operation 5 weeks ago. Stitches were removed but my wounds have not healed yet. I could not check my account at this platform. There is a chance that my stiff person syndrome symptoms might go away. The waiting period is up to 6 months We will see. Now I am resting at home.

Thanks to Birgün Newspaper for my back-to-work news! I won my legal battle at the Upper Administrative Court against Ankara University and I am again lecturer in human rights at the Faculty of Political Science. I will also teach ableism in my classes. www.birgun.net/haber/baris-...

I won my legal battle against my dismissal decision from my post at Ankara University Faculty of Political Science. In 2026 I will be hopefully back in Ankara, teaching human rights theory and law after 9 years✌🏽 The next chapter in life is about to begin for me if an operation comes after that 🙏🏽

After I have seen the latest developments about the other un-popular platform and being not a big fan of AI, I will only be posting on here. New year, new beginnings! Docs found a mass in my thymus gland. Results are due tomorrow. Hope it can be fixable and might be the cause of my SPS symptoms?!?

My dear friend Lina’s documentary was screened at International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights at Geneva.She was detained 3 times but never gave up! She stayed with me in Ankara but went back to filming in Syria. The last time we met was 8 years ago in Berlin. Miss you; proud of you sis 🫂

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.

“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. Emekli lokali projesi🤦🏻‍♀️

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 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🙏🏻

Hey, I’ve got a code and I am here as of today! I work on #refugees and #migrants in Turkey and human rights violations. Hope to find my previous contacts from the other dark space on this platform.
