I taught in Kazakhstan for three years. They regularly have traditional clothing days where the students come into school wearing traditional clothing and jewellery. It's very cute. Recently one of my older pupils who works as a fashion designer told me that traditional Kazakh c…
For a long time, the difference between the very rich/powerful and everyone else was quite obvious from their appearance—they dressed quite differently, in a way only available to them because of their status, and that showed off their wealth. In modern times, however, with rare…
I see the images of the ancient foot binding and cant help but think "who would think a deformed broken lotus foot is in anyway more attractive?" I know it had to do with status and women with little feet were more feminine however their shoes would have to be removed at some po…

Lately, I've seen a lot of shorts of police "harassing" protesting/street preaching Christians in the streets of Australian cities, usually with the uploader and the comments talking about Christian oppression or whatever. This is not America. Our rights and freedoms are differe…
I'm fascinated by needles and the variety they have, but can't find much on how they were made, especially pre industrial. Putting in the eyes, especially in metal, is very difficult. Were there documented ancient methods, and did this make needles rare and valuable? Were there…
My brothers in Faith! I've been thinking about sharing this because I genuinely don't know how to explain it. For some context, I have always been a Christian but I would describe myself as being lukeharm in those times unfortunately. I prayed and went to church from time to tim…
In LA every other billboard is a personal injury attorney. When and why did this specific strain of law start in the US, and why did it become so lucrative and popular?
