My orange boy is perfect; he restores my soul
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of blue, I fear no evil, for orange is with me
His hiss and his slorp, they comfort me
He prepares a hairball before me in the presence of guests
My cup runneth over. Please take your paw out of my cup

🏺 Good thread from the principled folks at @archagainstaparth.bsky.social - important for us as archaeologists to recognise and remember who has worked to divest from genocide and those who have not only refused, but seemingly doubled down. ⬇️

Ever find yourself at home, hungry, & wishing for an eel delivery service? Well you're not alone!
In the 1580s Queen Elizabeth had cartloads of eels & pike delivered weekly to her castle at Hertford from Cambridge by a man named William Raven.
Why eel out when you can order in?
