Like virtually every digital publisher, Cuteness maintains a presence on Facebook.

And while we typically use the social media platform to share our exceedingly wholesome and informative brand of articles, slideshows, and tutorials, we also see it as an opportunity to open up conversations with you, our readers.

Case in point: This thread that was anchored around the gold standard of hashtags, #TBT (or Throw Back Thursday for the newbs out there).

So moved, in fact, were we that we've rounded up some of our faves into a new list that in a time-is-a-flat-circle, snake-eating-its-tail twist, will eventually be posted back to, yup, you guessed it, Facebook.
