Remaking this post because honestly the other one floating around was very poorly worded and didn’t explain anything.

Reddit has a number of communities dedicated to helping people out financially. Although I’m not personally familiar with the site and how these subreddits function, the success rate seems to be higher on there than it is on tumblr.

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you using a website you are familiar with to ask for help, Tumblr isn’t the best when it comes to helping people out money wise; with that being said, here are some alternatives that may work better in your favor (Note: these WILL have stricter rules in place than posting a donation link to tumblr would- they have this to prevent scamming but it may bar people from receiving assistance in certain situations so please keep this in mind). 

Monetary/Necessity Assistance Subs: - /r/Assistance - Req: Registered account / 300 Combined Karma - /r/Charity - Req: Registered account 30 days old / 300 Comment Karma / Crowdfunding links only (include a description in your post) - /r/FoodPantry - Req: Account 90 days / 300 Comment Karma / Actively posting in non-charity subs for 90 days - r/gofundme - Req: Account 30 days / 300+ Comment Karma / 1 submission per user - /r/RandomActsOfPetFood - Req: Account 90 days / 500 Comment Karma / No monetary requests / Must wait 1 month between each request personally posted

Advice Subs: - /r/AlmostHomeless - No visible reqs; No donation posts - r/freelance - No visible reqs; Soliciting work, links and self-promotion banned - r/homeless - No reqs; Must be homelessness-related; Soliciting donations banned - r/transitions - No visible reqs

If you know of any other helpful subs/websites feel free to add!

The Himba (singular: OmuHimba, plural: OvaHimba) are indigenous peoples with an estimated population of about 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene Region (formerly Kaokoland) and on the other side of the Kunene River in Angola. The OvaHimba are a semi-nomadic, pastoralist people, culturally distinguishable from the Herero people in northern Namibia and southern Angola, and speak OtjiHimba, a variety of Herero, which belongs to the Bantu family within Niger–Congo. The OvaHimba are considered the last (semi-) nomadic people of Namibia.

The Himba often cover themselves with otjize paste, a cosmetic mixture of butterfat and ochre pigment, to cleanse the skin over long periods due to water scarcity and protect themselves from the extremely hot and dry climate of the Kaokoland as well as against mosquito insect bites. The cosmetic mixture, often perfumed with the aromatic resin of the omuzumba shrub, gives their skin and hair plaits a distinctive orange or red-tinge characteristic, as well as texture and style. Otjize is considered foremost a highly desirable aesthetic beauty cosmetic, symbolizing earth’s rich red color and blood the essence of life, and is consistent with the OvaHimba ideal of beauty. The OvaHimba are also accustomed to use wood ash for hair cleansing due to water scarcity.

Hairstyle and jewelry play a significant role among the OvaHimba, it indicates age and social status within their community. An infant or child will generally have his head kept shaven of hair or a small crop of hair on his head crown. This soon is sculptured to one braided hair plait extended to the rear of the head for young boys and young girls have two braided hair plaits extended forward towards the face often parallel to their eyes. This style is called ozondato, the form of wear being determined by the oruzo membership (patrilineal descent group). The style remains during preadolescence until reaching puberty. Some young girls, with exception, may also have one braided hair plait extended forwards, which means they are one of a pair of twins.

Once they reach puberty, OvaHimba girls will have many otjize textured hair plaits, some arranged to veil the girl’s face. 

This girl is going through puberty, a fact made plain by her hairstyle, which has been designed to cover her face and help her avoid male attention. The puffs at the bottom are either goat hair or synthetic.

(In daily practice, the hair plaits are often tied together and held parted back from the face.) 

This girl’s braids are arranged to reveal her face, indicating that she’s ready to be married.

Women who have been married for about a year, or have had a child, wear an ornate headpiece called the Erembe, sculptured from sheepskin, with many streams of braided hair, coloured and put in shape with otjize paste.

Unmarried young men continue to wear one braided hair plait extended to the rear of the head. When Himba men marry, they start wearing turbans, which they never take off unless someone in the village dies. After a death, their heads are shaved.  Because the turbans are never removed, things can get a little itchy underneath, so men carry pointed arrow-like instruments to scratch it with.

Married OvaHimba men. #s 1 and 3 wear a scratching implement in their turbans.

Widowed men will remove their cap or head-wrap and expose un-braided hair.

I’m not one for thinking that everything in a tv show is always well thought out and that everything that fans tend to notice was actually put there for that purpose ( because sometimes viewers are smarter) but like... V wearing red and Eve wearing green during that last scene of season 2 ... complementary colors that just create nuanced grey when mixed together...

Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.

Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever.  National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.
