As a nation and government as generally understood in the American Revolution/Constitution nation building narrative writ very very large. When the American “nation” was founded can and is debated and flexible.

We have a winner. 

Beyond the grossness of complaining about a STATUE at a time like this, caping for Louis XVI is just embarrassing all on its own.

Yeah. I guess they probably thought that it was ‘trendy’ considering that they mostly did sets and dry and perms. The super layered bob fun times probably was exciting and different.

I’ve been trimming my bangs during quarantine. I’m generally OK at it; I’ve had bangs for a long while.

That time I was 14 and I didn’t have stylist so I just went with my mom and left with the ‘I want to speak with a manager’ hair.

Someone else in this comment section compared them to Heaven’s Gate and it’s so true. 

It’s because it’s a regular ‘let us look sincere’ tactic. Frequently employed by rapists on trial to make them look like good boys when they’ve never been filmed wearing glasses in their lives. From seeing screen shots of her other videos, she doesn’t regularly wear glasses to produce this family sideshow. It appears…

I was thinking of my goddaughter, but Gordon Ramsay’s son is also a sullen joy. 

Oh god those tie back semi backless tanktops.

I really just don’t have the brain power to express the anger.

I’m glad he landed with his family.

From folk’s comments it certainly seems to be a term that adopted folks or adoptive families either take to or not. It would definitely not fly for my sister, but others seem to find it endearing. 

Yeah, it certainly seems from the comments that it’s a very individual thing. Some people love it, some people hate it. To me it just has a very distinct ‘flavor’ akin to going out and picking out a car, but to others it has better context. 

My sister’s kid is from an open adoption. It’s what they chose and that’s fine, but it’s a lot to wrap your brain around. 

Being abandoned twice before the age of four with the added burden of most likely lacking the emotional development ability to fully process it at a future date.

I just needed to give you extra stars for making a Heaven’s Gate reference for these two because it’s so damn true. 

Oh she’s done like five different MLMs. Since she shares her entirely life publicly, I know that despite being one of the few folks my age to land a profitable job immediately out of college and marrying someone with an equally profitable job (they have around 200k household income) she is in massive massive amounts…
