The silence that surrounds me when I discover my mother is attempting an arranged marriage situation.
There are only so many people I can avoid, but for so long.
I just want to dance and sweat and drink and queer my way to a solution.
But, again - the expectations of parents that "came so you could have more and better" quell my almost happy fire.
Maybe next year.

Constantly creates story lines about sad angry defenseless black women who are delivered from their misery by a man.

This week, I learned:
1. "Hip Hop Is Run By A White, Blonde, Australian Woman" - thanks Forbes
2. When Macklemore isn't culturally appropriating and/or advocating for all us poor, sad gays - he likes to play dress up in "Jewface"

Dear POC, can we please stop supporting these artists...please?
If someone can be kicked out of school for copying a paper, a person should be kicked out of school for raping another human being.

Too Angry to come up with a good title
What's up with substance abuse, eating disorders, self harm.....everywhere I look in this tiny community, I call home?
I sat down and thought of every habesha queer I knew, intimately. Not acquaintances, people I've spent time with - truly gotten to know. I found a trend, rather the trend was presented to me.
My partner confronted me about a certain behavior she's noticed and finds to be unhealthy and it enraged me. I guess I have a history of self destructive issues, myself.
I'm not exempt, like I thought I was.
I'm pissed off. I believe in my heart of hearts that a lot of this shit is from the fact that so many of our families won't even acknowledge sexuality, much less accept it.
Do me a favor, my straight Habesha friends. Don't shrug your shoulders in indifference - don't accept the people you love on your terms. JUST love them - regardless of whether you "understand" or not.

Thank you for your answer! I think that's the direction I want to take my blog in as well. Just a space for me to decompress and just be me, whatever that may be. I love your title "existing in spite of" it's so accurate. I'm not very familiar with tumblr so I don't know if this is even the space to respond to your post lol I guess I'm not very savvy when it comes to more modern forms of media. Anyway, thank you again and remain awesome. Melkam Ken :)
Hey! first off, since you're on anon my only option is to respond publicly :( I hate tumblr sometimes...
I wish there was a way for all the lgbtqi habesha's to link up in an anonymous way, but then we wouldn't be meeting I guess... Let me know when you get a tumblr so I can follow you!
I'm generally not a social media person, so it took me some time to get used to this too. Sending you good vibes, lesbian kisses and goorsha from my side of the plate :)
"Blank is sweet. I like her a lot better than what’s her face…"
My brother acknowledging my partner after finally meeting her, I cried little baby tears...slowly but surely
Hey, I'm Habesha and queer too and your Tumblr gives me life. Seriously. You are such a great writer and there are many posts you have on here that touch me deeply, make me laugh, or both. I'm thinking about starting an anonymous blog where I write about being a queer Ethiopian woman and a qpoc in general and wanted to know if you had any tips. In particular, I'd love to hear about how you maintain your anonymity as well as any suggestions you have about content. Can't wait to hear from you!
Hey sis! Nice to kind of meet you :)
I forget that people are actually *here*, living their lives and sharing experiences. Just knowing that there are so many other people who feel like they are the only ones - reminds me that I have this community - whether we know each other or not :)
I truly just write whatever I can’t seem to say or express to the people around me - just use it as an outlet and hope for the best. I've found a level of validation and camaraderie that I didn't actually know I needed. When I started writing here, I was just tired of feeling like I lived in a vacuum of confusion -shame-anger-guilt, self hate....then guilt for feeling those things.... Expressing how I felt and finding other queer habesha's that understood has given me what I needed to just live my goddamn life.
Also, I am REGULARLY paranoid that my friends will discover this site, or connect it to me. I only have about 1k followers, so I assume I'm flying under the radar. I have a close friend who knows about this site (she is Habesha) and she regularly reminds me that my mother will one day find this page lol. That shit would NOT be cute, no mother needs to know about their daughters discovery of pussy - at least not the details :)
can I be your friend?
Yep, the more the merrier :)
Sometimes, I just want to do all of the things I love at the same time
Shit, dig my nose, masturbate and eat thai food.
Injera breath
I secretly ate Kitfo for lunch, she found out and wouldn't kiss me for the rest of the day...out of concern for her health!
Couldn't even get love after I brushed my teeth...
It's that 2 brown girls - different culture struggle lol
Fuck acceptance and tolerance
It’s been a struggle lately, to reconcile the sheer joy and peace I feel in my partnership. Getting used to the support and love from my partner has been REAL. What has been even realer is the contrast of what it exposes; the lack of security I feel in some of my friendships.
That last sentence seems crazy – my friends, a kaleidoscope of immigrants, first generation Americans and every other group of people that are “supposed” to be unable to fathom my life, are "accepting" according to the set standards.
This is where I’ve been struggling. My soul has been rejecting "acceptance" and has been requiring more.
equality
I’m tired of pointing out inequality at work, in the laws that haunt my future, in my fear of walking down certain streets with her palm in mine. I refuse to call it out anymore, among the women I adore and call my sisters.
I’ve felt myself retreating, into myself.
Not out of sadness, but out of the determination to preserve my joy, freedom and happiness.
Why is this page so dead?
Because life has been life, lately. Thanks for the poke, I'm going to get my shit together soon and start posting again !
Being black is exhausting.
fucking rich white people laughing at how poverty is some diet they should try.
This is so fucking disgusting what the fuck
I hate them. I really fucking do.
What the actual fuck
Meanwhile, if this was about animal cruelty I'm sure she would be incensed. Human suffering? Not so much

Arguably, last Monday was the first day ever an Ethiopian official made the most daring remark on the LGBT(Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transsexuals) issue. The remark was prompted by Uganda’s anti-gay legislation that imposes life imprisonment for gays and obliges citizens to report anyone they suspect. Ethiopia’s Minister of Youth, Women …
