This must be how the pilots feel. Like thanks all I did was my job. But also, yes you very fine and good people, you are all so so very welcome.
At the end of our final class today the students all clapped. I fear a new hunger for power has been unlocked in me.
That’s my Super Bowl honestly
Have you seen the creator who buys all of the beauty advents and opens one entire calendar every day?
The beauty ones also stir up some internet drama every year; a commodity with it all!

I personally think Joe Biden should kill all the turkeys and pardon student loans this year.

Everyone on here should start using the starter packs like we did with the Myspace Top 8. Aggressively and explicitly order your favourite academics. Make sure the 8th person knows they are on thin ice with you.
They blame the worst consequences on their contractor’s sub-contractors, and in doing so they avoid kind of accountability.
Of course they would lie to you on the origin tag. That lie is the smallest lie they are telling you.
Global fashion brands have outsourced the responsibility of knowing what’s going on down the supply chain to avoid any kind of association with the blatant human rights abuses and environmental damage this industry is doing.
many fashion brands don’t even try to account for every supplier or firm past that first level of contracts. Why? Because they don’t have to and more importantly, they don’t want to know.
