Please don't forget Armenians
Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.
Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?
Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.
Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!

oh fuck *falls back into old habits* *screen fades to black* *level loading* TIP: your belief that you are incapable of changing for the better will become a self fulfilling prophecy if left unchallenged

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

you know i donât think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go âoh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefsâ
so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over
to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people
to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole
iâm proud of yâall.
itâs hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.

IMPORTANT REMINDER TO MY EUROPEAN FOLLOWERS AND OTHER TUMBLR DENIZENS FROM AN AMERICAN DESERT-DWELLER:
Climate change is a bitch and summer is coming. If you donât already have an air conditioner and/or fans, NOW is the time to get them.
THINGS YOU SHOULD BE SHOPPING FOR NOW:
âclothes made of cotton or linen
âair conditioner
âfans
âfrozen meals that can be cooked in the microwave
âpotable bottled water; you want five daysâ worth per person and pet in your household
âbottled fruit juices; it does not matter if these are sugar-added because youâll want the electrolytes
âelectrolyte drinks
âelectrolyte pills (you can get these online, I get mine from Amazon)
âpopsicle molds to use with fruit and juice
âice cube trays
ânonperishable salty snacks like peanuts
âone charger brick per adult in case of rolling blackouts or power outages; charge these at the beginning of May, and drain them via use once a month if theyâre not needed
YOUR TO-DO LIST:
âcheck your homeâs HVAC system if you didnât do it at the beginning of winter. Make sure all the filters are clean and replace them if needed
âcheck the seals on your sinks and bathtub in case you have to run water to handle shortages
âmake and freeze meals you can cook in the microwave or simply defrost. Remember to select light summer fare, not hearty winter soups and gravies
âpurchase and freeze lunch meats and cheeses you can defrost and use this summer for sandwiches when itâs hot
âassemble your check-in list: elderly, pregnant, disabled, and immunocompromised friends and relatives who may struggle to get things they need when the heat wave hits. Have this list posted and ready to go through daily once the heat gets high. DONâT JUST ASSUME YOU WILL REMEMBER. WRITE IT ALL DOWN.
âcreate a list of emergency contacts in case of fire, heat stroke, and other heat-related emergencies. This should include your local version of 911 (I think in most of Europe itâs 112, but donât rely on me as an American, LOOK IT UP NOW before you need it), your doctorâs phone number, and two emergency contacts. Keep it in a place where it can be easily found if someone needs to make these calls on your behalf.
âask your doctor for an additional prescription for any medications you take, and fill it now. Extreme heat can cause disruptions in the supply chain. Make sure you cycle these meds; thatâs to say, always use your oldest bottle first so you donât end up with expired meds in an emergency.
âstock your first-aid kit. If you donât have one, now is a good time to make one.
âif you own a car, get your yearly maintenance done now. You donât want to be dealing with an inoperable vehicle if you need to evacuate.
Staying safe this summer starts now. Get your prep done.
