Bir yerde Kara Kitap ile Benim Adım Kırmızı'yı karıştırmışım. 😊Ama onun dışında çok hoş sohbet ettik.

Was lucky enough to catch the superb Martin Parr exhibition Think of Scotland at Pollok House in 2023, the last exhibition before it closed for refurbishment. RIP www.nts.org.uk/stories/mart...

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

RIP Frank Gehry 1929 - 2025
Those of us in Scotland are lucky to have his building for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre in Dundee, which was in part modelled on indigenous but ‘n ben houses.
For his own place in Santa Monica, he “was trying to use the dumb, normal materials of the neighborhood.”

Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.
