Pls Why Is The Sims Community So TOXIC? I’m Trying To Understand 💀!

zola bantu knots ⭐️

hiii im back and here’s my first hair of 2024! it’s a very simple but super cute edit of the base game bantu knots where i have added front and side braids with beads to it! im not an expert on traditional african hairstyles (so pls correct me if im wrong!!) but it’s often noted that bantu knots either originated or were popularized by the zulu ethnic group in southern africa. so, i picked a zulu name (zola) for this hairstyle! enjoy! 💛

base game compatible (bgc)

maxis palette (24 swatches)

teen-elder

fem frame (it’s enabled it for both frames but the hairline is glitchy for masc frames)

I hate doing this so much. Like it literally makes me feel like shit…but I really need help. I live in a very small town now where there are minimal opportunities for work if you don’t have a college degree or know the family that owns the business you are applying to work to (also a lot of the places out here are very racist and refuse to hire black people). I need help paying a bill. as well as putting groceries in the house. It has been very very hard the last couple months and my depression is really getting the best of me. I don’t wanna say how much we need, because the bill itself is already way too much to ask for. If you guys are willing and able to donate, you can send money via CashApp: $AllesiaM28 or PayPal

Please help if you can. And even if you can’t a reblog would definitely help. Any amount is more than appreciated! At this point I’ll even take some prayers, because it’s hard and I’m literally crying trying to type this out. Thank you for taking time to read this

I had a blast working with @simplyrockie to create these infographics for her Legacy Chronicles Challenge! She wanted each one to look like pages in a diary or journal, which I had a lot of fun with.

Rules are by Rockie, but the graphics are by me! 🖤 This was a commission. I'm working on a more detailed tumblr FAQ for these graphics, but I do have some information on my ko-fi if you want to learn more about my process.

TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS

If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubuskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.

honestly because some of the cc creators were showing out very badly like... you look very foolish.

i think this whole early access thing is really shining a light on the true colours of some creators...

on the one hand you've got people who've always been ea or have been for a long ass time turning round and saying you know what? everything's free and i ain't going nowhere cos they love the game, creating and the community as a whole so why would they leave?

then on the other hand you've got people turning round saying "well it's not very clear i'm gonna continue until it is" or "uwu i have bills" or "even more uwu we're being made victims here and being lumped in with the same group who doxxed ppl blah blah and idk if i wanna stay around in a community like that" bitch.. you were never here for the community, you just wanted to make money off the people in said community, so byeeee~, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

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.

THE SWEETEST BERRY LEGACY

hi, so yes you may have already seen this posted to my account, and you're probably wondering "why is she posting this again?" (unless you already saw the mistake)...

i do in fact have one and a half brain cells and it took a friend to point out the mistake to me to realize i had put the same aspiration for 3 generations... oh boy...

anyhooooo~ here is a new updated version of the sweetest berry legacy challenge! now, if there still any mistakes here, or maybe you cannot see or read these images, you'll probably have a better time reading the google doc i made for it here.

thank you to all who have continued to support me here and on instagram i love you all very much and i appreciate every like, comment and reblog/share! it truly warms my heart every time that you all like my challenge that i worked my butt off on (let's not talk about my other challenges because this is the challenge i created first and is honestly my baby <333)
