turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it’s 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they’re 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 what’s 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 anyone’s 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 don’t know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we’re 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 there’s 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 can’t do anything to stop them. they’ve violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don’t think they’ll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we’re not asking for a lot here.
#i live in#armenia#right now and let me tell you this is all true#we're preparing for air raids#please spread awareness

I am rotting. I am rotting. I am rotting.
I touch my cheek and skin falls off in my hand - blood runs down my face. At dinner that night my teeth fall like hail into my plate. Blood pours down my throat. No one notices. My fingernails flake off in the shower.
I ask, is there something different about me?
Their eyes are glassy. No, no, no. You are exactly as you always have been.
My leg snaps in two as I walk down the stairs. I fall. I fall. I fall.
My head hits the edge of a step and splits open, my thoughts scatter across the floor.
A man passing by steps on my chest, his foot cleaves through my ribcage.
I am exactly as I have always been.

I was five when Barack Obama was first elected and I thought his name was Broccoli Obama
dude being a little kid during an election year was THE funniest thing. kids were all just repeating their parent’s political beliefs verbatim without understanding any of what they were saying. My elementary school did a mock election and I didn’t know what was going on so I just voted for Obama because thats what everyone else was doing. My friend and I were chatting on a swing set and she said to me “I hope Mitt Romney gets elected because I don’t think Obama will get anything done” bitch you are 9

Trying to claim that Hamilton is something that offers valid or even good representation for black and non black people of color is a failing to understand what meaningful representation looks like. The blackness of the actors in Hamilton is incedental to the roles they’re playing. These are not black people, playing black characters, telling black stories. These are black people being used to tell white stories starring white characters. But these aren’t just any white characters, these are men who were instrumental in maintaining and profiting off of slavery. What’s worse is that Hamilton paints these men as abolitionists while their real life exploits clearly show otherwise. The literal only named black character in Hamilton is Sally Hemmings, who was an enslaved black woman that Thomas Jefferson raped for years. She was also the sister of his white wife and the same age as his white daughter. In Hamilton, sally is given no agency of her own but rather her sole role is to have her enslavement and rape used a cheap joke in a song. And yet this is what you’re claiming is valuable representation for black people. Hamilton also completly washes over Cato, a black man who spied in British troops and was incrimental in helping to win the revolutionary war. His successes and work are passed off as the work of Hercules Mulligan......the man who owned him. The Boston massacre is mentioned in Hamilton.....but no where does it mention the first man to die in the war was a black man named Adicus Crispus. No instead, the story centers around white slave owners and paints a false rags to riches narrative about a white slave owning elitist that strips the agency of the black people who suffered under them. And this, is you’re so passionately calling “good representation” for black people.

I arrived at my college, UWC Dilijan (in Tavush, Armenia), a few days ago. It has been pretty hectic, but my second years have assured me that in comparison to their arrival, our first days at the college were actually quite calm. That’s mostly due to our quarantine this year.
My flight landed at two in the morning, from Minsk in Belarus. That flight was pretty nerve wracking, because some people were straight up not wearing masks, and the flight staff wasn’t making them either. If someone on that flight has coronavirus, I’m pretty screwed.
I arrived with one other first year student, she became my roommate for quarantine. We actually missed our welcome party! We went straight outside and found the bus, and we didn’t see the woman who was sent to pick us up.
I fell asleep on the bus, and when I woke up, about an hour later, we were driving through the mountains. They were beautiful, genuinely beautiful. The clouds were down quite low.
About half an hour after I woke up, we arrived at Dilijan. I woke up my roommate as we went through the gates and got our first view of our home for the next two years. We didn’t get the classic welcome party due to quarantine, we were greeted by just one toon parent (toon is from the Armenian word for home, tun). It was an epic struggle to get our luggage up three flights of stairs, but we managed even on just one hour of sleep.
This year we are divided into three zones, green, orange, and red. Red zone is for people who couldn’t get a PCR test before they came here, orange zone is for people during their two-week isolation (with those who arrive on the same day, we aren’t totally isolated from each other), and the now-coveted green zone is for people who are certified coronavirus-free.
We aren’t allowed to unpack straight away this year, we have to wait until we can take up our permanent rooms in the green zone, so for two weeks I’ll be living out of my suitcase.
There are two groups of toons/dormitories, the riverside and the mountainside, so named because they are close to the river and the mountains, respectively. The riverside is for those in the orange zone, and mountainside is green zone. If your permanent room is riverside, you just have to wait until everyone is out of quarantine to unpack, it’s quite unfortunate. Lucky for me, my permanent room is mountainside, and so I will move there in early September!
Orientation begins tomorrow. It will be mostly remote, except for the green zone students, I’ll likely write about orientation as well.

I see a lot of young butches worry that they don’t have the right body to be “butch”. I get DM’s and asks about their concerns. There is a lot of misinformation out there and some of it comes from our own community. They think that being butch is a particular body type Ie, muscular, very small breasts(or non existent breasts), narrow hips, thin waste, the perfect average height of 5′6 to 5′8, firm tummy, broad shoulders, and short hair.
I see and hear straight people applaud that look. But that is not important to me. What is important is that butch nod I get from other butches and femmes (or lesbians in general) who recognize my energy. It is important that my girlfriend loves my butchness and also sees it as a part of the whole me.
Butch is not a body type. Butch is innate and how we move and are perceived in this world, both by our inner selves and those around us. It is most definitely the space we take up.
Here is a photo of me, just waking up after a long day of moving people out of destroyed homes, cutting and hauling wood and working my job. Long messy hair, my love gut (thanks covid), noticeable and not perky (anymore) breasts, strong but not muscular looking arms and a smile because I am healthy and ready to help again today.
Don’t let those who are not living the life of a butch lesbian tell you what you are or are not. Just don’t. Meet others who made it, who live happy fulfilling lives, who have struggled, who sometimes still do but move into each day with their protective, tender and unique energy. You will find we come in all body types but instinctively know who gets that butch nod.
My DMs are always open if you need a pep talk.
Also.. I need to stop eating so much crap food. LOL

Because butches are so macho and violent 🙄
Do you think bisexual women are allowed to use butch/femme?
I think bisexual women are allowed to do anything, up to and including arson and shape shifting
