I'll be participating in a sweet little show at Longue Vue House about Dandelions. These two pieces will be featured. Opening March 9 at 4:30 in New Orleans.
We lost a soldier yesterday. Another attack on our borders by the fascist Azerbaijan. This time, it seems, they weren't able to break through defenses and advance.
I write this knowing that no gratitude in the world can be enough to equal the sacrifice a young man born in 2003 made to ensure his homeland lives.

Operation Ring 2.0 is underway. Azeri fascists installed a checkpoint on the road to Artsakh with zero resistance from Russian "peacekeepers". Four villages are cut off from the world. Slowly, they will push Armenians out, village by village, like they did in the 1st war.
I don't know if the talks in USA will wield any results. Fascistan is ignoring the negotiation process and working with Putin, the West doesn't seem to be willing to pressure Baku's regime.
And judging by the remarks of Armenian PM, our or Artsakh troops are not allowed in the Lachin corridor, which Putin considers to be solely under Russian jurisdiction. Yet Azeris are allowed there! Absurd claims of an absurd president, who lies about everything all of the time.
The situation is quite dire, guys.
And this one is morbidly hilarious. EU buys russian gas through Az//rbaijan thus continuing murdering ukranians and NOW armenians too, while staying warm and cozy ☺️ if you have the time I urge you to send them a complaint about president of European Commission dear Mrs. Von der Leyen circumventing sanctions and endangering both ukranian and armenian populations, making fascist petro-dictatorships only stronger with every single passing day which results in deterioration of human rights situation both in Rus/sia and Az//rbaijan. Go ham, friends!
Co-founded by Gokturk Agvaz, a Turkish businessman, Azu International stepped in to help fill the supply gap. Over the next seven months, the company exported at least $20 million worth of components to Russia, including chips made by U.S. manufacturers, according to Russian customs records.
Azu International is an example of how supply channels to Russia have remained open despite Western export restrictions and manufacturer bans. At least $2.6 billion of computer and other electronic components flowed into Russia in the seven months to Oct. 31, Russian customs records show. At least $777 million of these products were made by Western firms whose chips have been found in Russian weapons systems: America’s Intel Corp, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), Texas Instruments Inc and Analog Devices Inc., and Germany’s Infineon AG.
April 24th is Armenian genocide remembrance day.
If you don't know what that is, take some time today to research and educate yourself on the events. Here's a good starting point to learn about what happened to armenian population of Turkey in 1915:
There's also this website, but if you decide to open photo archives tw for literally everything (it's brutal):
Hear our stories, listen to our music and look at our art today. Despite everything we are still here and we aren't going anywhere. Never again.
120 000 indigenous armenians of Artsakh are under blockade by Azerbaijan for more than 100 days at this point. People have no adequate access to food, clothes and medicine. Here are ways to donate, here are official letters to send and here you can write a complaint about the witch Ursula who loves azeri oil money more than she respects human life.
It's been more than 100 years but Turkey still continues its attempts of complete eradication of armenian life, now with the help of its brotherly dictator state of Azerbaijan. In these times stand against Turkey's and Azerbaijan's genocidal retorics and actions, support Armenia and support Armenians.
Also keep in your thoughts our Assyrian and Greek siblings who fell victims to the Turkish terror alongside Armenians.
On the eve of the 108th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, Azerbaijan and Russia solidified the blockade of Artsakh with an Azeri checkpoint.
I hope the people in charge of those two countries understand that Armenians will never forgive that. I also hope people in charge of my country understand it.
