Undoubtedly, April 24th has become a day to remain vigilant and stay safe. However, for 109 years now, it has been much more than that.
April 24th is Armenian Genocide remembrance day.
This year marks 109 years since it began. 109 years of denial, 109 years of hearing, "It didn't happen, but they deserved it."
The only crime of the Armenian people is existing.
Today, we honor and remember the victims of this terrorism that is still widely unrecognized and denied. Can you imagine if this is how the Holocaust was treated?
It is a day for us to also stay vigilant as the amount of hate crimes rise this day, as sickening as that is, because Turkish and Azeri hate knowns no end. Because they teach their young that we're subhuman and gleefully laugh at any harm that befalls us, especially from their own hands. Even to this day, they believe we're better off dead.
Simply look at happened to Anush Apetyan, though be wary because it was horrifying. That should make clear the difference between the Armenian people and these genocidal Turkic nations.
Even in media, on any video regarding anything about Armenia, even if it's simply sharing an Armenian recipe, Turks and Azeris invade the space, calling on Armenian suffering, death, and bragging about their successful attempts of genocide and colonizing.
Two nations full of hate, fueled by rewritten history, propaganda, and nationalism. So much so that they literally spam Armenian spaces. Everywhere. All the time.
Kind of crazy from people who "didn't do it", hm?
If you stand for and are very vocal about Palestinians, you can be just as loud for Armenians.
pls rb if you think cuddling doesn't have to be s3xual
im tryna prove a point to my bf's mother help me out
My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.
In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.
I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)
Stop for a moment and read the fourth line.
While you feel warmth, walk in safety, and live your normal life, I am here in Gaza, waking up to the endless sounds of explosions.
While you take a peaceful breath, I go without food for days, hunger gnawing at my body, and I can't even give my children anything to ease their pain.
While you turn on your tap, I search for a drop of water, and the cold bites through our worn-out tent💔
How can you live in this safety while we fight just to stay alive? Can you imagine for just a moment what it's like to be in our shoes?😭
We need you now more than ever.
I am Kareman Palestinian mother and children's teacher , and I live with my husband Ayman and my son Hamoud in an unending hell since October 7th, 2023.
The war has destroyed everything in our lives. We used to live a simple life, but it was full of hope. Now, all that remains for us is fear and suffering. The school where I worked has been destroyed, my husband's boat, which provided for us, is now just rubble, and we have nothing left.
We now live in a tattered tent that offers no protection from the freezing cold or the constant bombings surrounding us. Every night, we sleep hearing the sounds of explosions, never knowing if we will wake up to a new dawn. As for food, it has become a luxury we can no longer afford. The price of flour has exceeded $350, and the milk for my son Hamoud is only available to me at $125, which is what we need just to survive.
Despite all these challenges, we live with only one hope: to evacuate when the crossing is opened. But the cost of evacuation exceeds $45,000, a huge sum that we do not have. We need your help now more than ever. Every small donation is a chance for us to stay alive, and every support from you is the only hope for us to escape this hell.
Every time we remember the displacements and the shells falling around us, we wonder: Will there ever be a day when we can escape this suffering? Will there be a day when we can provide food for our children in a safe place? We only want a chance to survive, a chance to escape this hell😭
Please, do not leave us in this darkness😔🙏
Help us live, because every new moment in this hell is a challenge to stay alive😭🫂

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.
i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.
palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.
they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.
palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.
here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.
