The main difference between English and Azerbaijani is that Azerbaijani is a performative language. It requires action. English is my escape from my own mind. My Azerbaijani mind is a fucking warzone where I want to kill everyone I hate. English is... just a bunch of bad people.

Saying "I love you" to a person in English is just a step up from pizza. You can't "sev" a pizza in Azerbaijani, when you use Azerbaijani for it, it feels like a big, serious commitment to a pizza. It is almost like a taboo.

Fun fact: I have texted all my Azerbaijani girlfriends in English. I could have easily used Azerbaijani as well, but Azerbaijani feels too serious to use that way. In English, it is so easy to say "I hate you" or "I love you". You can hate pizza and love pizza.

I have always wondered why I use English on social media. Contrary to what people think, I am not trying to be as universal as possible. It is just that English is the most comfortable language to express my intimate feelings in.

The most brutal thing to discover about myself since arriving in Warsaw was that I am genuinely incapable of expressing any feeling externally. Everything goes inside - the joy, the rage, the love and the sadness etc.

This was a murder...
Elbayi Karimli was allegedly found dead in his prison cell 💔
23 at the time of his arrest for having sprayed “Stalin” on a statute of Heydar Aliyev, he was found dead on 12 December (date of death of the former president).
We call for a prompt, independent investigation.

Why did I create it? Because media freedom in Azerbaijan is heavily restricted. News is often published with bias, and it’s hard for readers to see the truth in a clear way. I wanted to build something to help fill that gap.
