I Don’t Have Time For Both, I Have My Grocery Store Job :( I Wanted To Try Poliński Shorthand System,

One of my favorite little facts about history is that the Mexican peso was functionally the everyday unit of currency in China in the 19th and early 20th century. Silver was one of the few western commodities that Chinese merchants were willing to trade in at rates that made shipping it to China (an expensive, arduous process) profitable; this trade became so voluminous by the 19th century that large everyday transactions even far away from port cities were conducted in pesos, in large part because Mexico's large domestic silver supply and existing transpacific trade links meant that the currency was stable (a known quantity to merchants in a time and place where relatively pure silver coins were otherwise uncommon) and readily available for use in trade

Made a separate account for the silly stuff so people who are here for historical fashion don’t get scared 💗

So pretty 😍

Never did one thing selflessly, I live for the praise🔥

I suggest that I, as someone who doesn’t even live on the continent America, should get to also vote in American elections cause their outcome affect me too damn hard

Does anyone know where can I get some pretty silk to make a Ming dynasty ma mian qun? I can only find polyester fabrics online with fitting pattern. Thank you in advance 💖💖💖

Imagine how cool it would be if veils and bonnets went back to everyday fashion

My goal in life is to taste tomb honey
