I hate those really vivid dreams that you’re still emotionally attached to after you wake up. You’re stuck, feeling for something that technically doesn’t exist.

MAIAAAAAAAA KOBABE!

Hello! I have followed your blog for a long time and want to thank you so much for evrything you post. The work and exposure of the truth about poc being present throught the times is such a welcome sight. Thank you. I also have a question for you, my ci

I’m so glad you asked! There are a ton of photographs of Black Victorian ladies, both African American and Afro-European. There are a few places you can find these online, and many different clothing and hair styles to choose from.

One of the most famous Black Victorians was Queen Victoria’s goddaughter Lady Sarah Forbes Bonetta Davies:

There are quite a few images of her, and she always seems dressed in the height of fashion. ;) Here’s a video that includes some biographical information and more artworks and photographs of Lady Sarah (about ten minutes long) at the National Portrait Gallery in London:

You can see a lot of clothing and hairstyle options at the tumblr blog Black History Album, in the “Black Victorians” section:

For hairstyle options, this article has some good photos with very different hairstyles , if you want to narrow down what kind of classic look you’d like to go for (although some of these might be considered a bit more “Edwardian”, depending):

This article has a few more (including a bit of information about a few of them):

Has anyone heard about calculated misery? basically, it’s a term coined by law school professor tim wu to describe the concept that “there’s money to be made by making an experience so awful that a customer will want to avoid it”. airlines have realized that a bad flying experience won’t really dissuade customers from flying with them again, and that it’s cheaper and more profitable to give their passengers the bare minimum and have them pay extra for comfort.
