Stopping in briefly to give you a para of Zeynep Tufekci’s latest blogpost, “Come, Come, Whoever You Are.” As a Pluralist Movement Emerges from Gezi Park in Turkey, which uses a bit of sociological jargon — she’s a sociologist, after all — but turns it on its head:
And you see the “multitude but there is also unity” here — in some ways it’s the sore insight around which her entire piece revolves. Elegant — that’s the second time I’ve found that word applicable to a blog post today — and I’ve barely finished my second coffee.
.
Her whole piece is illuminating on the situation in Turkey.

That phrase, “curfew nights and blood-stained days”, btw, would make a cool addition to my collection of “DoubleQuotes in the Wild“.
