A beautiful essay that explores how to navigate the complexities of sexuality and personhood for Ethiopians, and how the traditional form known as qene or wax-and-gold is the perfect metaphor for negotiating and living dual realities. By @Selam_Mussie genderit.org/feminist-talk/…

He died at the age of 18, after an unhappy childhood, For 150 years, Ethiopians have been asking when Prince Alemayehu will come home. Today Windsor Castle does not only stand as a symbol of medieval splendour but also as a symbol of British thievery and savagery.

People are like "the queen isn't responsible for all those atrocities, she just supported them in a highly public, highly symbolic, ceremonial capacity that manufactured popular consent for all those atrocities - totally different."

If not today, when? Today is always painful. Today is always inconvenient. Today is always uncomfortable. Today is always disrespectful. But so was yesterday. And so will tomorrow be. Unless we deal with today. Because it is always today.

Oh and might I add we don’t even have the same kind of agenda/motive the white media & colonization sympathizers have when they frame stories of developing countries 💁🏾‍♀️ yet, you’re uncomfortable that your (not so) past sins & crimes are outed & we refuse to glorify your story 🙄

So we’re basically talking the way white ppl & media talk abt our dictators- telling the stories of their stealing, killings, genocides, slavery, war crimes, etc uncensored or sanitized. But you act like we’re crazy & disrespectful 😂 even worse is fellow blacks eating it up 😭

It’s the way everything is considered out of place when BIPOC call the shits of white ppl out 🤦🏾‍♀️ Every African dictator’s story could have been sanitized for PR purpose including Gaddafi’s just the way the British media is doing it for the Monarchy.
Schrödinger’s Heart@ChiefWitxh

People who recorded the murder of Gaddafi and celebrated it all week on the news are now clutching their pearls over Uju’s tweet? Spare us abeg. You people’s outrage is very much suited to support white supremacy and silence POC dissent.

The way white ppl & some fellow Africans expect civility while outing the sins of the British monarchy & their empire project is something else. Telling the other side of the story, outing crimes of the dead, choosing not to glorify the institution is NOT celebrating death.
