legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

You could use some facts before az*ris bombard you with picures of 2018 Libya claiming it as their current “damages and disasters”.

This is genocide. This is cleansing enthic group from their ancestrial lands. But who cares?

Anyway click this link to learn what is happening and how to help. Stop occupation of armenian lands by azerbaijan. And click the link below to learn about azeri war crimes/crimes against humanity. Contains triggers.

some things that have happened since you stopped hearing about p/alestine after the “ceasefire” was declared

you cannot meaningfully be pro-palestine whilst denying the armenian genocide. not only do they have a parallel history of oppression but armenians also fled to palestine for safety & a % of palestinians today are descended from those families. if that isn’t enough, note that israel has shown consistent military support for azerbaijan by providing weapons which have been used in their ethnic cleansing of armenians. unless you come to terms with these facts, your allyship to palestine is meaningless.

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!!
