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
- 1,000+ palestinians were arrested in a mass-arrest campaign designed to, and i quote, “instill fear” - including children
- al-aqsa mosque and worshippers were attacked and beaten
- literal children, not even teens, children, were arrested and tried in a military court (this is not new, thousands of children have faced this terrorization over the years. Isr@el is the only country in the world that tries children in military courts. 500-700 children are prosecuted each year.)
- a soldier deliberately ran over a child on a bike for having a pales/tinian flag on his bike. an adult man ran over a child with his car. on purpose. the child is 12. read that again.
- sheikh jarrah was blockaded, illegally
- whatsapp blocked the accounts of over 100 pal/estinian journalists
- silwan, another pal/estinian neighborhood like sheikh j/arrah, is being violently ethnically cleansed to make way for more settlers
- Isr@el has forced social media sites to censor the hashtags “free pal/estine” and “save sheikh ja/rrah” many posts and accounts have been deleted
- 25 pales/tinians have been murdered by the ID/F and settlers
- in Jaffa, 300 arab families are under force expulsion orders to make way for more settlers. 300 families.
- suicide rates in g/aza have risen to an all-time high due to PTSD and hopelessness
- Pales/tinians in G/aza still do not have access to safe drinking water, electricity, medical care, and nutrition. families are still being displaced from their homes by settler colonialism. There is still an inability to mobilize freely, pursue a career, seek an education, or gain access to decent healthcare or mental health resources. The occupation, genocide, and ethnic cleansing continues whether you see on your feed or not.
