Non-Armenian followers, if you are unaware of the events going on right now, please consider taking a moment to learn about the senseless human rights violations and terrorist acts being perpetrated on the Armenian people by Azerbaijan and Turkey. From cyberwarfare online (forcing even celebrities like Elton John and Cardi B to retract statements of support for Armenians due to harassment) to physical attacks on innocent civilians (like shelling civilian settlements like Stepanakert), this MUST end, and that starts with your help.

Tumblr has been very quiet about this issue and it’s important to speak up on all platforms, especially as disinformation runs rampant and those who speak up are bullied into silence.
I want to mourn her death. I want to honor her. I want to pay tribute to who she was as a woman, as a mother, as a lawyer, as a fighter, as a wife, as a justice, as a patriot.
I want to mourn her and celebrate her and thank her for everything that she did, all the decisions that she made that helped me grow up in an America where I was safe to pursue all the things I wanted.
Instead the first emotion I felt wasn’t sadness, or humility, or solemnity. It was fear. Chill down the spine, tears in the eyes, heart racing, muscle clenching fear.
And I will never forgive them for that.
Shout out to all the people who are still social distancing and wearing masks. Thank you for still taking this pandemic seriously and understanding how an illness can spread from person to person. I pray that the universe provides you with an infinite amount of abundance.

“But perhaps the great work of art has less importance in itself than in the ordeal it demands of a man and the opportunity it provides him of overcoming his phantoms and approaching a little closer to his naked reality.”— Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
“It is the task of the translator to release in his own language that pure language which is under the spell of another, to liberate the language imprisoned in a work in his re-creation of that work.”— Walter Benjamin, The Task of the Translator
