For my birthday I hosted a Tea Party where we ate little sandwiches and cakes and everyone had to share a juicy item of gossip
a friend presenting their gossip complete with slides on the tv, which reads "names have not been changed to protest the innocent, so be cool." a two-tiered tray piled high with tiny cakes

Wait wait wait you left out the following sentence
Andouillettes are generally made from the large intestine and are 7–10 cm (2+3⁄4–4 in) in diameter. True andouillettes are rarely seen outside France and have a strong, distinctive odour coming from the colon. Although sometimes repellent to the uninitiated, the scent is prized by its devotees.

ok this was gonna bug me so I plugged the link into the wayback machine and got this:
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES - When Bert Bell established his NFL franchise in Philadelphia in 1933, the country was struggling to recover from the Great Depression. New president Franklin D. Roosevelt had introduced his “New Deal” program through the National Recovery Administration, which had the Eagle as its symbol. Since Bell hoped his franchise also was headed for a new deal, he picked Eagles as the team name.

and okay hear me out
National Recovery Administration logo but in Eagles green, and the text says "EAGLES", "GO BIRDS", and "PHILADELPHIA". The eagle is holding a football instead of a gear.

Today I learned the inspiration for the name of the Eagles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...
n addition to businesses displaying posters in storefront windows, in advertising, and in packaging and labels, American consumers and businesses used the Blue Eagle in a variety of other ways. Citizen consumers stitched the logo onto doilies, tapestries, and quilts to show their allegiance to the program.[24] Grassroots quilt makers designed, constructed, and displayed quilts bearing the symbol, not following one pattern source, but creating their own. Some of these quilt makers sent their Blue Eagle quilts as gifts to the Roosevelts.[25][26][27] Like any other art, there is more meaning behind these quilts than being simply quilts; the NRA and Blue Eagle were a big enough impact for artists to incorporate it into their work. Other items that used the Blue Eagle symbol include buttons, picture frames, candy boxes and tape packaging.[28] The most famous use of the Blue Eagle is perhaps as an NFL team name, when the franchise from Philadelphia named their team the Eagles.[29] Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the team in 1933 and changed the name of the team in honor of the NRA.[30] National Recovery Administration logo: red white and blue graphic with a silhouette of an eagle with wings spread, a gear in one claw and lightning bolts in the other. It says NRA MEMBER at the top and WE DO OUR PART at the bottom.

Got to spend my day hanging out with cool people and yelling at the Philadelphia Gas Commission (they're trying to limit public participation in the PGW budget process because they're tired of hearing people tell them they're contributing to climate change)
A group of ~25 people standing on the stairs of an office building holding signs that say things like "our utility our future", "don't shut us out", and "transparency now"
