Do you feel pathetic having to rely on other people to support you? You shouldn’t have had a kid if you can’t support her yourself. It’s honestly sad and irresponsible.
Right
Ok honestly i was really defeated about this this morning but like this is fucking bullshit like anon ur literally an asshole who is just shitting on ppl for being poor. Like maybe i shouldn't have had a kid but i was literally 15 years old at the time. I don't owe u any kind of explanation or the time of day bc like u suck obviously but yeah dude this world fucking sucks, especially the US in the middle of a fucking pandemic. I am not pathetic for needing help. I am a single mother who had a child in their teens, i have lived the craziest fucking life with literally the entire system built against me to keep me poor and despite needing help i am proud of how far i have come and where i am today. Needing help does not mean i am pathetic. ANYWAYS if ya'll wanna help me keep my fucking electric on and help me feed my daughter and help me keep a roof over our heads i would literally appreciate it so much. I am applying for assistance programs and foodstamps today but in the meantime i really need money in order to get by. I have to quarantine for 2 weeks because my roommate has covid and any help is appreciated so much. Please reblog if u can't donate.

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.
In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.
Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.
Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.
international people start calling our country aotearoa instead of new zealand challenge
aotearoa is the te reo name for our country, commonly translated as “land of the long white cloud” as the story goes Kupe was guided to our whenua by following a long white cloud in the sky. new zealand is a name which was forced on us by colonizers who stole our precious land less than 200 years ago. by reverting back to the māori name you are metaphorically giving the land back to the tangata whenua, the people of the land, and we can begin to normalize using the proper names for things that should have always belonged to māori
heres a link to a good pronunciation, i recommend practicing saying it along to the video. but please remember that even if you cant get it perfect, say it anyway!! its better to try and get it slightly wrong than not try at all
