BREAKING: Tagesse Chafo says under oath that the Ethiopian government is in possession of ውቃቢ and non-human bodies
Читать полностью…Can you call yourself great or weak without a comparison? Can you call yourself good or bad/better or worse in the absence of a relative reference?
Читать полностью…Humans fear the ultimate freedom, that is why we crave a lite bit of ልጏም in our everyday life. Because we have an innate understanding of what lies at the end of the freedom spectrum, it's death!
It's only when you die that you ultimately unburden yourself from the drudgery of earthly responsibility,
Hence fear by heuristic association.
I saw a news about a 180 years old man on Oromia TV. Pretty soon Amhara TV will discover a 190 years old women
This is how we improve our life expectancy
Dear Readers,
In this special issue, Ketema traveled 500 kilometers across the country zooming out of the bustling metropolitan city to a serene and picturesque site nestled within the hills and mountains of Dawro zone.
Halala Kella lodge, named after the fortified rocks of the Dawro kingdom is a testament to a new specimen of hospitality architecture in Ethiopia that was designed respecting the topography, natural environment, indigenous culture and history of the great Halala wall.

I am lucky enough to travel around the countryside in different directions for various reasons. One common scenery you see on the road is a forest. It's satisfying to see lush greens, and passing through dense woodlands. I don't have to tell you what a forest feels like, it feels peaceful and serene.
And ironically most of the forests you find on the rod side across the country are planted by Derg. Yes, the same bloodthirsty chauvinist Derg!
With all the slaughtering, Derg managed to significantly improve the forest coverage of the country and after generations, the trees stand tall.
እና ምን ለማለት ነው, ዛፎች ከመንግስታት እና ነገስታት ይበልጣሉ: ከገዢዎች በልጠው ብዙ እድሜ ይኖራሉ: የእውነት ለትውልድ ይተርፋሉ::
ዛፍ የመትከል እድሉን ስታገኙም በፍቅር እጅ መርቃቹ ትከሉ:: ለአብይ ብላቹ ሳይሆን ለሀገር ብላቹ ይሁን:: የተከላችሁት ይፅደቅ: ለሀገርም ጥላ ይሁን::

Friend: why do I feel like the electric car is የጾም መኪና 🤔
Me: I feel like it's more of a vegan car
I detest ceramic tiles!
They are expensive, dangerously slippery, and ice-cold. They are the latex of the building industry. A shiny plastic that is loud and looks pathetic in the natural environment
Coffee is an antidote to existentialism.
That one sip after a few days of decaffeinating, will automagically make you believe in life again
If only Camus and Nietzche tried ቁጢ...
If you tell your friends, like out of the blue, that you've fallen in love with a papua new guinea girl and it's killing you, they probably think you are crazy and nobody will accept your story
But if you say the exact same thing in a recording studio, with some instruments, and released it on YouTube, not only its acceptable, thousands will give you a thumbs up, applauds you and you might even make money out of the same exact story, just in a different setting
Nobody will ask you if it's true, if the story is a lived experience or not, as long as the beat is good and the story rhymes, society is cool with it
Absurd!
Either you make sure you enjoy the journey or believe the destination is worth it
What is in between is, “What the fuck am I doing??”
We met an old childhood friend the other day. Catching up, he started giving off that "vibe" and መሰከስ ምናምን as if we don't know him running around making the weirdest and loudest armpit fart noise ...
Some old friends deserve a humbling reminder
I missed those good old days when saying እንኳን! እሰይ! ደግአደረገ! will calibrate your serotonin
