This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

w-what if potato is actually lucky

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

i need all the help i can get for finals

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

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.

hey either reblog this or unfollow me

Watching this happen I’ve been so scared there is going to be another genocide and nobody would notice. My whole life I’ve hated how forgettable armenian people seem to be to the world. Protect armenian people or rot, please don’t turn a blind eye to us again. And same as above, reblog or unfollow.

here are some cold hard facts for those interested:

1. after losing the war in 1994, the az government spent the next nearly 30 years on a) dehumanizing armenians, b) blaming armenians and losing the war for the terrible socioeconomic state of the people in this oil-rich country while president and his family steal all of the money their oil produces, c) pushing armenophobic propaganda on the population since kindergarten age, d) oppressing and humiliating the other ethnic minorities living on its territories, e) regularly violating the ceasefire of 1994 whenever the internal situation get tense and the ppl get angry, f) selectively sending the youths of said ethnic minorities to the bloodiest parts of the frontline whenever said ceasefire violations happen, g) suppressing free speech, arresting journalists, harassing and threatening those who dare to voice their discontent, etc.

2. in early 1920s, josef stalin, in order to appease the new turkish “republic” and its leader ataturk, with the hopes of using turkey as the base for spreading the communist revolution further into asia, passed artsakh (also known as nagorno karabagh) with its 95% ethnic armenian population onto the new created turkic azerbaijan republic (a country that did not exist before 1918, that’s what newly created means), despite the opposition from the people of the region in question and the republic of armenia.

3. during the 70 or so years that artsakh was part of the azerbaijan republic as an autonomous region, the gov of azerbaijan did everything they could to a) suppress the development of the region, b) change the demographic of the region by moving turkic population to artsakh

4. in 1980s, the people of artsakh, utilizing their rights stipulated in the soviet constitution, petitioned both moscow and baku to be allowed to reunite with armenia. as a response to this, the azerbaijan government started large-scale repressions against the organizers and activists of the reunification movement. arrests on made up charges, threats and violence followed (more info on all that in the link provided below)

5. the people of artsakh then held a referendum as was their right under soviet constitution, and more than 90% of it’s population voted in favor of seceding from the azerbaijan republic. the response to this were the anti-armenian pogroms in baku and sumgait ( https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-18-mn-305-story.html)

6. all this grew into the first artsakh war, which azerbaijan lost, as mentioned in point 1.

to sum it up: artsakh was never a part of the independent azerbaijan republic, during it’s brief 70-year forced az control its indigenous armenian people were oppressed via various government policies, the people of artsakh deserve to live a free and happy life in their homeland, free of threats and fear of annihilation that is sure to happen if azerbaijan takes control of the region

to them, it’s just a territory and they want that territory without the people.

for further reading, check out this comprehensive timeline of the artsakh history up to 2017( when it was written)

then, this: on what actually happens to armenian lands and cultural heritage when it’s in azerbaijani hands

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2019-11-07/armenian-monuments-azerbaijan

while you are at it, read up on the armenian genocide and keep in mind that turkey, specifically for this war, moved syrian jihadists to azerbaijan to fight against armenia and artsakh. read up on the kind of internationally banned ammunition azerbaijan has been using against the civilians in artsakh capital, and then maybe make your judgement.

oh, and if anyone tries to frame this as an islam vs christianity thing, send them to hell, regardless of the side they claim to support, bc this isn’t it.

I reblogged a post about this yesterday, but is there something we can do other than spreading awareness?

spreading awareness is HUGE because azeris are spreading lies (mainly on twitter bc apparently thats the only social media they’re allowed to use atm? i haven’t verified this but it checks out with the dictator in powet lol) and it’s really really really important for us to counter their lies with FACTS. like there’s far few of us and we don’t have any bots lmao so it’s really hard to get people to listen to us.

cardi b apparently made a post about it, talking about how there’s a genocide going on in armenia, and azeris started harassing her so she sort of backtracked and said something like “i didn’t know there was two sides to this” and like it’s not the only person they’ve done this to!

this video on twitter actually explains their tactics (the girl in the video is basically translating azeri post) how they target people who speak out in support of armenia and make them rescind their support.

so yeah. it’s important for us to fight against the misinformation. and i think i have no respect for any armenian person who chooses to not engage because the internet is our battlefield. this is where we fight because it’s the least we can do. (note i said armenian person, because i don’t think its fair to ask this of people who don’t have a personal stake in this war).

terfs do not interact

update: genocide watch has declared emergency in Artsakh, placing azerbaijan at stage 9 (extermination) and stage 10 (denial)

when we say we are being threatened by genocide, we are not exaggerating

i dont hear much abt asian zodiacs??? anyways im year of the dragon how bout yall

I found out recently there’s an elemental component too, every sign is connected to every  element on a 60-year cycle

i fuckin love cultures we all just do different shit cause we think its cool

Anyone else notice how when white people talk about racism you can Tell it isn't personal to them. Like, it isn't as Real they don't Feel It. Your white friends will come up to you and talk about x awful thing they heard about and you're just like I Know. And it's good that they're angry I'm not telling you not to be mad about shit. It's just like. Idk how to articulate my point further I don't have a conclusion here uh

I see this with cis allies too people will be like "my mom said the most transphobic thing the other day" and I'm sitting here like Cool! Good that you recognize this! I don't like hearing it????? Like. If you don't experience x form of oppression it doesn't. Carry the same weight for u

There's this vague sense of surprise with it, I think. Like you didn't grow up aware of this so now you're learning and you're like "oh my god can you believe this" yeah I live here

what the fuck is this nonsense

‘to be disconnected from sex is to be disconnected from life itself’ is literally to the syllable something a cult leader would say how in the hell is this something anyone wrote and thought made any sense

yeah they have rlly been sounding like a cult leader

holy shit

“IF YOU HAVE A LOW SEX DRIVE YOU HAVE A LOW LIFE FORCE” HSJDJSHUDJSHS I’M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND??????

i feel like im i walked into a new-age store to buy incense and the woman behind the counter launched into a lecture about sex and Bodily Energy and Life Force and im now backing away towards the door

i still can’t get over this timecube-ass garbage

im fucking wheezing holy shit

Finally glad that more people are starting to notice just how cultlike the ace exclus mentality can get

me: i mean right now im not that interested in sex-

this person: Oh My God You Are Completely Disconnected From Life. Just Floating Around The Very Essence Of Your Existence. You Have Not Had Sex Yet Which Means You Have Not Reached True Happiness And Thus Have Distanced Yourself From The Grey Bearded God Above The Clouds. If You Walk Into A Church You Will Vaporize Because Of How Disconnected From Life You Are Right Now And How Low Your Life Force Is. Sex Equals Life Which Means If You Are Not Copulating On This Very Moment You Are Very Much The Not Alive

which exclus sold their soul to make aces a meme instead of aphobes because Look At This Shit

I'm tired of you "no discourse" bitches. If you don't think aces and aros are lgbtq say it with your whole fucking chest and then come collect these consequences. Don't pretend you're for us to avoid getting backlash. You deserve to get dragged for this shit. You deserve to lose followers over this shit. You deserve to lose mutuals over this shit. You deserve to get blocked over this shit.

You chose to hold the "opinion" of pushing out and collectively bullying/dehumanizing people who've literally been lgbtq since before this irritating shitfest started. People on this shithole site choosing not to interact w/ you and blocking you is not a chance for you to go "Oh woe is me! I'm tired of discourse! I have to have a sideblog to avoid losing friends! This isn't fun anymore! I just wanted to have a discussion and protect the elgeebeetees!" While you crusty fucks turn around and boldly create/reblog "This real life violent racist and imperialist or this real life rapist and abuser is an acey ahahhahaa isn't this funney!" moodboards like we don't see that shit. Fuck your feelings.

What leftists fear isn’t an ~imperfect candidate~

What leftists fear is a democrat will take the reins from Trump, continue on the same path only with better PR, and then half the angry voices we thought were backing us up have suddenly disappeared. 

Seems like a fun time to bring back this extremely controversial post!!! 

Detroit teachers stage “sickout” over horrible conditions, force schools to close

Eighty-eight of Detroit’s 97 public schools were closed Wednesday when teachers participated in a districtwide “sickout” to push for demands related to school conditions and their rights as employees. The protests align with a very high profile visitor in Detroit.

Omg

PLEASE continue to share images like this. White people refuse to acknowledge the reality of others until it’s shoved in their faces.

What’s crazy is it’s been like this since I was a child and prolly even before that.. My mother is a DPS school teacher and ain’t much changed, if anything things have gotten worse. She’s been buying school supplies for her students for as long as I can remember.

this is why i think it’s really funny when people condemn “third world countries” and act like amerikkka is the greatest country in the world.  because this country lets shit like this happen all over the place and lets people starve to death

We need to invest in our own institutions. We can raise the funds to create our own spaces. This is just ridiculous, insanity even.
