Havenât been active in like a decade but just a reminder for everyone out there struggling with anything. If you join a community and a leader in that community is calling themselves âfatherâ you have a HIGH RISK of being involved with/ interacting with a cult. This is not about religion. If a leader requires you to purchase something to be part of a group they âhelpâ itâs a cult. I donât even care if only two people see this. Never trust anyone forcing power over you when you come to them for help. Someone I dislike just started posting on tumblr and be dammed if Im not gonna speak out to try and protect people.

turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and itâs 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if theyâre gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them whatâs happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyoneâs going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i donât know who to tell and what good telling people will do because weâre a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know thereâs twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we canât do anything to stop them. theyâve violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i donât think theyâll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. weâre not asking for a lot here.
Watching this happen Iâve been so scared there is going to be another genocide and nobody would notice. My whole life Iâve hated how forgettable armenian people seem to be to the world. Protect armenian people or rot, please donât turn a blind eye to us again. And same as above, reblog or unfollow.
here are some cold hard facts for those interested:
1. after losing the war in 1994, the az government spent the next nearly 30 years on a) dehumanizing armenians, b) blaming armenians and losing the war for the terrible socioeconomic state of the people in this oil-rich country while president and his family steal all of the money their oil produces, c) pushing armenophobic propaganda on the population since kindergarten age, d) oppressing and humiliating the other ethnic minorities living on its territories, e) regularly violating the ceasefire of 1994 whenever the internal situation get tense and the ppl get angry, f) selectively sending the youths of said ethnic minorities to the bloodiest parts of the frontline whenever said ceasefire violations happen, g) suppressing free speech, arresting journalists, harassing and threatening those who dare to voice their discontent, etc.
2. in early 1920s, josef stalin, in order to appease the new turkish ârepublicâ and its leader ataturk, with the hopes of using turkey as the base for spreading the communist revolution further into asia, passed artsakh (also known as nagorno karabagh) with its 95% ethnic armenian population onto the new created turkic azerbaijan republic (a country that did not exist before 1918, thatâs what newly created means), despite the opposition from the people of the region in question and the republic of armenia.
3. during the 70 or so years that artsakh was part of the azerbaijan republic as an autonomous region, the gov of azerbaijan did everything they could to a) suppress the development of the region, b) change the demographic of the region by moving turkic population to artsakh
4. in 1980s, the people of artsakh, utilizing their rights stipulated in the soviet constitution, petitioned both moscow and baku to be allowed to reunite with armenia. as a response to this, the azerbaijan government started large-scale repressions against the organizers and activists of the reunification movement. arrests on made up charges, threats and violence followed (more info on all that in the link provided below)
5. the people of artsakh then held a referendum as was their right under soviet constitution, and more than 90% of itâs population voted in favor of seceding from the azerbaijan republic. the response to this were the anti-armenian pogroms in baku and sumgait ( https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-18-mn-305-story.html)
Alexander Gulanerian heard the mob pounding down the hall seconds before his door was broken down and they stormed in, brandishing knives, b
6. all this grew into the first artsakh war, which azerbaijan lost, as mentioned in point 1.
to sum it up: artsakh was never a part of the independent azerbaijan republic, during itâs brief 70-year forced az control its indigenous armenian people were oppressed via various government policies, the people of artsakh deserve to live a free and happy life in their homeland, free of threats and fear of annihilation that is sure to happen if azerbaijan takes control of the region
to them, itâs just a territory and they want that territory without the people.
for further reading, check out this comprehensive timeline of the artsakh history up to 2017( when it was written)
For centuries the sacred khachkars of Djulfa stood tall along the banks of the River Aras â hulking and ornately carved 16th-century headsto
while you are at it, read up on the armenian genocide and keep in mind that turkey, specifically for this war, moved syrian jihadists to azerbaijan to fight against armenia and artsakh. read up on the kind of internationally banned ammunition azerbaijan has been using against the civilians in artsakh capital, and then maybe make your judgement.
oh, and if anyone tries to frame this as an islam vs christianity thing, send them to hell, regardless of the side they claim to support, bc this isnât it.
spreading awareness is HUGE because azeris are spreading lies (mainly on twitter bc apparently thats the only social media theyâre allowed to use atm? i havenât verified this but it checks out with the dictator in powet lol) and itâs really really really important for us to counter their lies with FACTS. like thereâs far few of us and we donât have any bots lmao so itâs really hard to get people to listen to us.
cardi b apparently made a post about it, talking about how thereâs a genocide going on in armenia, and azeris started harassing her so she sort of backtracked and said something like âi didnât know there was two sides to thisâ and like itâs not the only person theyâve done this to!
this video on twitter actually explains their tactics (the girl in the video is basically translating azeri post) how they target people who speak out in support of armenia and make them rescind their support.
so yeah. itâs important for us to fight against the misinformation. and i think i have no respect for any armenian person who chooses to not engage because the internet is our battlefield. this is where we fight because itâs the least we can do. (note i said armenian person, because i donât think its fair to ask this of people who donât have a personal stake in this war).

Imagine this with me for a moment. A guy falls asleep after drinking. Heâs in line for Wendyâs because heâs needing some late night greasy food. Heâs been out with his friends all night and heâs super tired. He falls asleep. An employee notices and goes inside.
They call 911.
The driver wakes up to a gentle tap on the window. He rolls it down. Heâs a little confused and disoriented.
âHi. My name is Stacy. Iâm a social worker and I just wanted to make sure you are alright?â
âI just fell asleep.â
âI understand. This is my colleague, their name is Dominque. They want to go order your meal for you while we talk. What did you want?â
âA number four with a coke.â
âWould you mind pulling your car over there so we can talk? Dominique will be getting that meal for you.â
âOk, just a second. Am I in trouble?â
âNo, we just want to make sure you are safe and that everyone else on the road is safe. Can we do that together?â
âI can do that!â
After a conversation, Stacy and Dominique decide that they are pretty sure they can confirm that the driver has been drinking. They ask a lot of questions about his drinking habits. They determine that he clearly doesnât have a drinking problem. He just rarely drinks, didnât know his limits, and made a mistake to get behind the wheel.
After his meal, the driver is feeling much better. The social workers offer to have his car towed to his house and an Uber comes to pick him up.
In this scenario, Rayshard Brooks is still alive. Heâs given compassionate and reasonable care. This is what community should look like. This is a way we could re-envision what our response could be as a society. This is what it would look like to defund the police.
Also can I just say in light of the whole JK Rowling shit -
If you agree with her at ALL - unfollow and block me
If you think all that makes a woman is their period - unfollow and block me (this is an insult to both cis women AND trans people)
If you refuse to grasp the concept that gender and sex are DIFFERENT (and I say refuse because if you donât UNDERSTAND Iâm giving you the opportunity to educate yourself) - unfollow and block me
If you think anyone has the right to use OTHER MEMBERS of the queer community to shit on trans people - saying that âwithout âsexâ there canât be same sex attractionâ - unfollow and block me
I donât have time for any of this recent misogyny, homophobia, or transphobia. So if you are any of these things - FUCK OFF
let me preface this with a few things: i got there a little before 10 a.m. with two friends. i will not be mentioning names in this post. this is a true account of what happened in the four and a half hours i was there- this protest is still ongoing, and to my knowledge, the police violence has gotten worse.
FOR THOSE IN AREAS WHO HAVE CURFEWS/HAVE BEGAN TO PREPARE FIREARMS BE WEARY OF âCIVILIANSâ WITH THESE COLORED BANDS ON THEIR ARMS IN THE ACCORDING AREAS. THEY ARE UNDERCOVER COPS.
