This clip from the Eden Channel shares two musical traditions of the BaAka Forest People: polyphonic singing — when two or more voices join together with independent melodies at the same time — and, dressed in a costume of leaves, a theatrical ceremony that features dancing and joking as forest spirits.

Woman takes a photo of herself every day for a year, chronicling the affects of an abusive relationship.

This is fucking heartbreaking. You can see the happiness and hope slip from her eyes with every shot.

tw domestic abuse

this is heartbreaking tbh

Don’t stop reblogging. Women are better than this to stay with men who do this. Stay strong. Know your worth.

well that was devastatingly heartbreaking please someone tell me she left him, she got away…that she’s safe now. :(

Oh my god, this is so terrible. God.

Oh my god….you just see her broken begging for help with her eyes. …this made me cry. Legit.

i wanted to make it stop. but i couldn’t. don’t ever stay with someone who would hurt you! if they truly truly loved you, they would never dream of hurting you ladies! and men.

We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:
‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.

I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?”
My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.”

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks
‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’

It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it.
