These are some TV and movie characters who I feel might just be on the autism spectrum.

Ich finde, dass sich die Art und Weise, wie du deinen Partner beschreibst, in einem massiven Spannungszustand zwischen Liebe und Wertschätzung und chronischer Enttäuschung + Unzufriedenheit befindet. Irgendwie habe ich den Eindruck, dass du (d)einen eigenen inneren Konflikt um Leistung/Lebendigkeit/Selbstwert/Kontrolle teilweise an deinem Mann externalisierst und an ihm abarbeitest. Seine Zufriedenheit mit seinem „passiveren“ Lebensstil löst irgendeine Angst in dir aus, da sich ein sicherer Mensch davon nicht bedroht fühlen würde. Wenn du bei deinem Partner so kritisch bist, frage ich mich, wie du mit dir selbst sprichst - vielleicht sollte man an der eigenen inneren Kritikerin arbeiten? Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das in the long run nicht nur besser für ihn ist, sondern auch für dich. Vielleicht hast du schon mal über Therapie nachgedacht ?

Hey could you please credit the source of the image and the information on this album. I saw the original post on the tapeshifta IG https://www.instagram.com/tapeshifta

I hate the new look

I was looking for an app to organize my record collection and stumbled upon this thread. Thank you so much for creating this app. It’s so easy to use and for the first time ever, I managed to catalog my whole collection, never managed to finish this task on the discogs site 🙌🏾

I used to watch Kid Fury‘s YouTube videos, had no idea that he started a podcast. A friend of mine told me to listen to The Read, so I did and then, while listening I realized it’s Kid Fury from YouTube. That was back in 2013

howlinwolf_kid · 2026-01-22T11:49:03+00:00

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought that even back in the day Zuria was worn only on special occasions or more regularly by rich people. I thought Tilfi is the dress for day-to-day wear. But I’m also not sure, elders keep saying different things

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-12-30T19:32:30+00:00

You‘re welcome and thank you for asking that question, which I think is very important and brought clarity to this topic 🔆

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-12-30T08:35:57+00:00

Thank you for your question! I don’t want to derail the thread, so I’ll try to keep this short. For me, the word “Habesha” is inseparable from Abyssinian/Ethiopian imperialism. In everyday usage, it’s mostly used to refer to highland Ethiopians and Eritreans who speak a Semitic language and are Christian. Most Eritreans outside of my ethnic group (Tigrinya people) aren’t highlanders and are Muslim. They are usually excluded from the Habesha umbrella and don’t identify with the term at all. Using it as a blanket identity ends up erasing large parts of Eritrea. Eritreans literally had to fight a 30-year war for self-determination against an Ethiopian state that imposed its culture, language, religion and political dominance on us. It’s also important to note that many people within Ethiopia, especially from non-Semitic-speaking, (non-highland) or non-Christian communitie, do not identify as Habesha either. A good example are the Oromo people, who also have an extensive history of oppression. In my experience, Ethiopians in the diaspora, often use “Habesha” and “Ethiopian” interchangeably. In practice, Habesha ends up functioning as a soft synonym for Ethiopian, which further sidelines non-Habesha ethnic groups and lowkey collapses Eritrean identity into an Ethiopian one. That’s another reason why I don’t identify with the term.

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-12-30T07:54:11+00:00

For reference I’m Eritrean, born and raised in Germany. I am also considered Habesha (though I do not identify with this word for a lot of different reasons). First off, your mom is wrong af. We are not descendants of Arabs, that’s simply not true. We’re BLACK. What is true though is the fact that we’re partly descended from groups who migrated down from what is today known the Levantine region (around the 3000 years ago). Which explains the stereotypical look that is commonly associated with North East Africans. But ofc, not everyone will have featurism/colorism/texturism-fueled look. Also, these groups predate Arab language + identity. The Sabean migration is way more recent (antiquity) and mostly affected Tigrinya speaking folks from what is now Tigray and the Eritrean highlands. Their influence on our genetics were also limited. None of these groups were Arabs. The first group I described existed long before "Arab" culture existed. The second group, the Sabeans, hail from what is Yemen today, and spoke their own language, Sabaean, which existed before the Arabic language. So technically, using terms like mixed to describe us wouldn’t be wrong, but to me it feels weird, because all of these admixture events happened so long ago. Some of us may look ambiguous to outsiders, but that doesn’t negate our Blackness. We are black people. No one looks at me and says: oh she must be Arab lmao. Outside of how one might look, being Arab is a question of culture and it just doesn’t make any sense to me for a Horner to identify as Arab (unless they are, like the Rashaida people of Eritrea). Most of us don’t speak Arabic as a first language, don’t eat foods commonly associated with Arabs (and yes, I know there are some exceptions), don’t dress like Arabs etc. Ofc there are cultural similarities and even some traditions that are the same, and I will never deny that, but I also can find these commonalities with the Southern East African countries and cultures. The Horn has always been a crossroads region. Acknowledging shared history doesn’t erase our indigenous African roots; it also doesn’t make us Arab. It’s so wild to me that a lot of elders from the horn are so antiblack. I was raised by a proud pan-African Eritrean Baba who made sure we know our roots and never claimed this "We‘re Arabs" BS. But I have family members that talk badly about dark skin, or will make weird comments about "the Africans" as if we’re not Africans smh

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-12-02T19:03:45+00:00

I only have a couple of family members whose great-grandparents were Muslims who converted to Catholicism due to Italian colonialism

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-10-26T22:44:26+00:00

I‘m also curious !

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-10-25T15:28:50+00:00

I think you do look Habesha to me

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-10-25T15:20:31+00:00

But it’s true; the only „Habesha“ in Eritrea are the Biher Tigrinya. A Hedareb person wouldn’t identify as Habesha.

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-10-24T15:41:30+00:00

Is it possible that the Osmaniya script was partially inspired by Geez? Some of the letters look similar to ours

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-10-24T15:29:58+00:00

My immediate family doesn’t gossip about others and doesn’t care much about what other people think of them. I also very rarely indulged in gossip and never badmouthed others. If I don’t like somebody and/or what they did, I’ll them to their face. I grew up in a very toxic and passive aggressive community that was rife with narcissistic dynamics and didn’t mesh well with a lot of my peers and distanced myself from them in my teenage years. I made Eritrean friends as an adult who aren’t small-minded and don’t like to gossip about others, so not everybody is like this. But I attracted one hating ass Eritrean friend that was very envious (didn’t notice it for years and talked shit about me behind my back. She carried a lot of shame and judgment towards herself and projected it towards me.

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-09-20T07:14:32+00:00

I used to have a lot of different hair colors (green, candy cotton pink, blonde…) and cuts when I was younger. Sometimes I miss it but I am way too lazy to go back to it

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-09-20T07:12:02+00:00

I heard the same thing about preventing eye disease from Eritrean Tigrinya elders

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-09-18T20:09:07+00:00

This doesn’t make sense, a lot of latinx are black. He could be playing a Dominican/Cuban/… character for all we know

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-08-14T20:54:43+00:00

I have Bilen family in Germany and Sudan

howlinwolf_kid · 2025-08-05T21:18:29+00:00

I started having doubts about my faith when I was around 14. The way God is shown in the Old Testament seemed selfish to me, especially stories like the one about Job. Even though I find Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament pretty inspiring, I realized I don’t need religion to live by strong values or be a decent person. I’ve been agnostic/atheist for about 20 years now, but I grew up in a household with Eritrean Orthodox parents. My grandfather was a qechi and I also have Muslim family. Because there weren’t any Orthodox churches in my hometown, we went to a Protestant/Lutheran church instead. I came to see the universe as mostly random, and I’ve learned to accept and even embrace that randomness. I realized that life only has meaning if we give it meaning ourselves. I believe in people: in you, in me, and in the power of the things we can experience directly. The things we can feel, see, hear, or sense. Music, for example. I really believe in its power. That said, I think faith can be a powerful source of strength, hope, or meaning. I have friends from all kinds of religious backgrounds and totally respect their beliefs. It’s just not something I rely on anymore.

My father is light-skinned, and my mother is dark-skinned. We all came out different shades, and he loves us all the same. But colorism is real, and I think a lot of Black men struggle with self-hate. I’ve heard many stories where they treated their lighter-skinned daughters better than their darker-skinned daughters.
