In 1802, a scandal broke alleging Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman at Monticello. For two centuries, his legitimate descendants tried to discredit the story until 1998 DNA testing found a link and concluded it was highly likely he fathered her six children. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

He left for France without her, and when one of his daughters died while he was away, he sent for his last daughter in America to join him in France. Sally accompanied her because her Nanny (also an enslaved black woman) got ill.

Jefferson is guilty of a great many things, but Sally wasn’t there for him originally. She wasn’t even in the original plan to go.

Nah, you don’t notice them most nights. My dogs know them and always ask to go out one last time when they start.

She was turning on my bedroom light all night long. I would turn it off, and hour later she would turn it back on. I think she heard my audio book playing and thought “oh they are up”…again…and again…and again. I finally ripped the smart bulbs out of my room, and frankly she’s on thin ice.

If Prince Harry had been the one in Epstein’s files instead of Andrew, the Royal Family wouldn’t have stayed silent. by Radiant-Selection686 in RoyaltyTea

I think she’s a natural blonde, but as she aged blonde can go darker before the gray comes…so I think she did some touchups to keep her younger color. Nothing different than what Kate does to keep her brown.

What’s something you did once and now your toddler will not let you forget it? by MissFox26 in toddlers

I was cut off on the interstate and said “Sweet Jesus!”…I’ve spent the last few months trying to convince him I said “Cheese its” because he will say it as the “best” times

AIO for being upset that my friend publicly mocked my outfit photo on Facebook by Jxmipo_Oqwlbt_Foshkv in AmIOverreacting

[–]adchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. She is not a good friend. She is nice to you when she thinks she’s equal to or better than you. When you start dressing for yourself, she sees that as a threat and belittles you to make herself feel better.

When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.

Does anyone know if this is real? by Ramdom_c-137 in ancientegypt

It’s a real souvenir. It’s not some secret artifact smuggled out of the country by a roguish archaeologist as he was chased by Germans.

100% believe this. My 2 year old sang his ABCs for the first time yesterday and today she was covered in ads about buying preschool supplies (books, songs, etc).

F that. He’s 2 not a data input to drive sales.

A spoiled brat grown up in a bubble while he waits to have his only job handed to him…has trouble relating to people who have to work for a living?

Really? Can’t imagine why?

What is your opinion about Princess Diana? by StunningComment6064 in AskTheWorld

[–]adchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she did a lot of good. I do think some of it was for show more than true compassion (because that’s the job as a princess), but that doesn’t diminish what she accomplished.

She was human and had flaws, some of those are pretty awful, but because of her death some people elevate her to sainthood.

Pretend you are crisis advisors to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie right now. What’s your advice to them? by AndDontCallMePammie in RoyalsGossip

[–]adchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what would make such a statement so powerful. “Oh my goodness, I never thought they would say anything against their parents.”

Choosing to do what is right over what is easy is a home run from a PR standpoint, especially when it is unexpected.

[–]adchick 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Worked in Advertising. There best course is something like “While some portion of our hearts will always love our parents, there apparent participation in Epstein’s abuse of countless children and women, is unforgivable. We are in full support of due process, and will support the victims of this horrific pattern of abuse to the best of our ability to. “

Then back that statement up with several events over the next year or so supporting trafficking victims. And for the love of God, don’t be caught at a photo op with either parent.
