World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

relaxing(?) sunday activity. i'm determined to go through my mom's fabric stash/hoard this summer. some of the fabrics are so old and have moved so many homes along the way, that it is a miracle moths of several nationalities didn't make a feast of them

one of the best decisions of my life has been to move a few kms away from istanbul. i LOVE istanbul, but the crowds, traffic, tall buildings everywhere,... not so great. here, these are the views i see when i go out for groceries

road noise is irritating me more and more lately (thank God for earplugs!). the summer house in the village up north can't get finished soon enough. only problem is the building contractor. are all of them liars and/or crooks or are we (sister and i) just unlucky
