There is this Ethiopian student who went missing from southern Italy almost 20 days ago; I can't stop thinking about her. I can't imagine a young girl in her 20s missing in a country where she doesn't even speak the language. I'm praying for her safe return.

አንድ ሰዉ እንዴት 1.13 ቢሊዮን ብር ይዘርፋል? Isn't that too much to steal? የድሬዳዋ ከተማን የፌደራል የአመት በጀት 25%፤የሐረሪ ክልልን 28% በጀት ማለት እኮ ነዉ! ከዛ ደሞ 6 ቤት እና በ 68 ሚሊዮን ብር 1 መኪና ይገዛል።ሌባም ጅብም እንዴት ይኮናል?

I don't think people are talking enough about 40/60 condominiums being 15 floors and not having elevators for the past 5 years or so. I didn't know about it until very recently, but I can't get used to this information. It is crazy 🙆‍♀️

Celebrating someone's graduation with a group of people, and one guy started talking about how his cat has a stress problem 😂. I just couldn't keep a straight face; I cried laughing. I don't know if he's offended, but I just couldn't help it.

I love finding nice things when no one is hyping them. Tsedeniya's new album on repeat all day 😇

I genuinely have pure hate for this people በስሜታዊነት ሳይሆን በምክንያት። ከተፈጠሩት አንድ ሺህ በደሎች አንዱን ላጋራችሁ። ተመርቄ አ.አ የመስራት ከፍተኛ ፍላጎት ስለነበረኝ በትጋት እያመለከትኩ ነበር። ምንም ጠብ የሚል ነገር የለም
That is not solidarity. It is a betrayal of the people who trusted them to stand for something greater than their shared hatred.

Uniqlo exists (my favorite). Maybe not trendy pieces, but very comfortable and last for years.
Can we PLEASE bring back cotton, colorful, comfortable clothes? Please. I’m so tired of the polyester, neutral, cropped shit. I want clothes that actually feel good and look like clothes. Bring back real clothes.

In my baking era, I bought a stand mixer when I didn't need one, and now I have to convince myself I use it a lot. It's a brioche bread, btw

Only in Ethiopia, where a one-bedroom condominium's price increases by half a million in one month and more than a million in 6 months 🤯

Today years old to learn that 'fig tree' is የሾላ ዛፍ and these figs I bought to try for the 'first time' are the same ones I used to eat at Beata church growing up.

I visited the site and wrote a report on this project when I was an undergrad student, and I now have a PhD 🤯

Last week I was watching this video and appreciating the EU regulation on shady subscriptions and difficult cancelation policies. Little did I know that I subscribed to Uber (don't know how) during the few days I stayed in Canada in June, and my card was being charged every month

An absolute masterpiece! I finished it in 5 days; it was just difficult to put it down once I started it. Well-defined and relatable characters, a beautiful story, fast-paced storytelling, interesting thoughts, so much humor, beautiful perspectives on what it is to be human...
When you start a book and you immediately know you're going to enjoy it 🤗 'East of Eden' looks promising, although I've read only 15 % of it. I'll be back when I finish it.

As women imagine what we could accomplish if we had the confidence of the average man and trusted ourselves half as much as they trust themselves. The amount of talent we second guess while some men walk into rooms with nothing but audacity is actually insane.

I don't get why people share a QR code in online advertising/post. I'm using my phone to look at the QR code, so how am I supposed to scan it? How about using QR codes for actual paper posted on boards and providing links for online posts?
