Hi! First I want to tell you that I look your posts almost every week, they're so mesmerizing and I really love your content.

I'm thinking on making ocs of atla and of them is an air nomad from Kyoshi's time but I envision them as truly nomadic and not really presenting as "traditionally religious" as an air nomad monk, I know why we doesn't see much of them but it never sit right with me that their just uniformly religious/monk-based.

What type of clothing could be fit for them? Are there any particular tibetan clothes/garments you think would fit for an air nomad that is more "secular" while not rejects their culture?

Do you think is an stretch to give them a bow even if is just for sport?

Not set on a gender so any type of clothing works for me. And again thank you!

I think most of the clothing that Tibetan-speaking peoples wear would work. I'm going to cover women's clothing for the first part of this post and include links to videos showing how to wear the clothing. Not gonna lie, most of my interest in ethnic/historical fashion is kind of limited to what women wear or wore. Generally speaking, unless the man is exceptionally wealthy, guys in most cultures dress really boring to me. ^_^;;

A popular women's look in Tibet is a chupa with pangden, which is a traditional robe with a striped apron:

In Bhutan, another Tibetan-speaking country, the national dress for women is the kira dress. I've talked about them before:

In Nepal, there's a Tibetan-speaking group known as the Gurung/Tamu, who have a very distinct traditional style. Their women's ensembles are usually comprised of a fitted shirt, a loose sash draped diagonally over the shoulder, a voluminous skirt, and lots of accessories:

The above photo is a unisex chupa that is popular with men in Tibet. It's composed of a high-collared long-sleeve shirt and a loose robe worn in a "one-shoulder" style. They're often paired with cowboy hats, which are very popular in Tibet and Mongolia.

In Bhutan, the traditional and national dress for men is the gho robe, which is tied at the waist by a cloth belt known as a kera. On festive occasions, a raw silk sash called a kabney is also worn with the gho robe.

Do you think is an stretch to give them a bow even if is just for sport?

I don't think the Air Nomads would be opposed to doing archery for sport, they'd probably just use safety arrows. Also Tibet has a rich history of archery, so it fits with the Air Nomads' cultural inspiration:

Picture above is of Tibetans using practice arrows.

That’s why you should never accept the excuse “Well it was a different time.” They knew it was wrong. They always knew.

So I was scrolling and saw this image in an article about the European heat wave,

And was like, uh, are you missing something there, buddy? Like all that red in northern Africa? Because that's a lot of red.

And I was going to give them the benefit of doubt, since I don't know much about the climate in Northern Africa, aside from Morroco and Egypt, which seem like really hot places, so you know, maybe it's normal there?

But nope, that's not the case:

‘Hot Continent’ Perception Downplays Africa's Heat Wave Dangers

Africa is struggling with heat waves and many countries on the continent lack the resources rich economies have to deal with rising temperat

Some selections from the article:

"The region has been experiencing some of the most intense heat waves in recent years, but in many cases they’ve been under-reported due to misconceptions about Africans’ ability to withstand them.

“Africa is seen as a sunny and hot continent,” said Amadou Thierno Gaye, a research scientist and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “People think we are used to heat, but we are having high temperatures for a longer duration. Nobody is used to this.”

"The Sahel, for instance, has been heating at a faster pace than the global average despite being hot already. Burkina Faso and Mali, both in West Africa’s Sahel, are among countries that are set to become almost uninhabitable by 2080, if the world continues on its current trajectory, a UK university study found. Its people are especially vulnerable due to shrinking resources, such as water, and poor amenities, and a dearth of trees and parks means there are few options for places to cool off."
