Dune landscape in Athens

Every year Greece gets sandstorms from the Sahara desert. Their intensity depends on the area and season.

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.

I have funny but first a quick history lesson

In Ancient Athens they had things called ostracons. Basically every year everyone would carve a name of someone they didn't like into a small stone tablet and then submit it. Then they would look at all of the ostracons and if there were too many of one person then they told that person to get tf out. They had ten days to flee Athens and couldn't come back for ten years.

So now I would like you to imagine Dionysus doing a pseudo version of this at Camp Half-blood every month because we all know he LIVES for the drama. (He's stuck there for a hundred years he might as well have some fun)

He would hand out stone tablets (it was very important to him that the names were carved don't ask why) and every person at camp would write a name.

Whoever had their name written down the most would be sent to live in a cabin in the woods for two weeks. If they survived they would be allowed to return to camp.

Mr. D always makes sure there's a crowd around to witness their walk of shame and he takes a picture of said person every month. He keeps them hung up on a wall in the big house.

#clarisse is flipping him off in more than pne of them #camp half blood #dionysus #athens #ancient greece #ostracons #at one point leo is chosen after annoying everyone. somehow during his time away the forest keeps catching fire. idk why tho #percy jackson and the olympians #if Nico is ever chosen Mr. D would replace all the ones with his name with Percy #mr d once took the time to write out Percys name on about a hundred different stones just to get rid of him #heros of olympus #trials of apollo #pjo hoo toa #percy jackson #annabeth chase #nico di angelo #jason grace #piper mclean #leo valdez
