Istanbul is cats, as much as people. And dogs, but more cats. He often wishes he could just be an avatar to the cats, really. Cats don’t do politics.
“when we get into a physiological uproar and activate the stress-response for no reason at all, or over something we cannot do anything about, we call it things like “anxiety,” “neurosis,” “paranoia,” or “needless hostility.” Thus, the stress-response can be mobilized not only in response to physical or psychological insults, but also in expectation of them.”

“science has failed to rid us of the gender stereotypes and dangerous myths we’ve been laboring under for centuries. Women are so grossly underrepresented in modern science because, for most of history, they were treated as intellectual inferiors and deliberately excluded from it.

This, in turn again, has skewed how science looks and what it says even now.”
