It’s my birthday and I’m 31. Despite all the madness in the world, it’s beautiful to experience life!

I’m starting Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and I’m SO excited!

Sultanate of Women by Ahmed Refik Altınay The book tells the story of a period in the Ottoman Empire when the mothers, concubines, and wives of the sultans became very powerful and influential in politics. This book was the first to call this era the “Sultanate of Women,” a name that is now widely used today. The period covers more than a hundred years, from the 1520s to the middle of the 1600s, and it is my favorite time in Ottoman history. The book was written in 1916, so it is quite old and, in some parts, reflects a somewhat misogynistic point of view. Even so, it is considered one of the main and essential readings on the Sultanate of Women. #vezirereads

My plan for this weekend is to read books. I will spend both days just reading. If I get bored reading a book, I’ll switch to another book.

This cat lives at a metro station and went viral online because someone stole his bed. Everyone felt sorry for him, so people started bringing a new bed, food and toys to the station. But he gained a lot of weight. And now they’ve put up a sign on the wall saying, he is on a diet, please don’t give wet food ahahahahahaha

Happy week! It's pisces season 🐳

Living in Ìstanbul for the last 13 years and it still never ends. There’s always so much to explore.

My friend from when we were babies moved to Istanbul! Today we recapped the last 10 years. I’m so happy!!!

Women who spend time together having their periods sync up is very spooky.

Happy sunday 💓

I want to thrift unique pieces in Istanbul and sell them on depop, curate my own shop. It feels creative. A combination of everything I love. I get genuinely excited when I think about it but paypal is banned in Turkey. :))))))))))

My parents sent me olives and olive oil that they made. I’m so happy and grateful 💓💓💓💓
