I am not a big fan of the glorification of America/Independence Day. I mean, I like the fireworks, and our history is pretty badass, but people forget/intentionally leave out/think it's not that big of a deal that our history is paved on the backs of Native Americans and black slaves and many many other oppressed people. I'm not a huge patriot (one of the reasons I'm going to school in Canada), but that doesn't stop me from stepping up for a challenge! As I don't have any actual "American" gear, I thought today would be a great day to splice together an "American Pride" kind of outfit, and I actually feel I succeeded!!!
