But were there any pickled eggs?

Yeah not so great, but better than having her younger brother inherit her, I guess. And she actually did a bit better than that (from Wikipedia):

She posthumously freed her slave, Belinda Starling, in her will, wherein she wrote that she, “give[s] and grant[s] to my female slave, Belinda Starling, aged about 26 years, her Freedom at my death; and I also give and bequeath unto said Belinda Starling all the property of which I may die possessed; all which I do to recompense the faithful performance of duties to me."

An attempt at reparation, I guess

I can’t believe you put the explanation all in text, some of us are thirsty this morning

Is Peter Dinklage not a human? What about Linda Hunt?

I just looked more carefully and the poor baby is in a banana-for-scale costume. You’d feel defeated too. Ditching that and donning a pink bow would be a step up, especially if it’s Hot Pink.

If the dog on the right had an armored vest like the one on the left, he would be fearless too. He told me so.

I think I’ll wait a bit. I already got very grudging approval from the Board for some portable solar panels to charge my Jackery on the promise they’d only be deployed in a power-outage emergency. (I keep it plugged in, so the panels would be to replenish it, to run my husband’s medical equipment.) And I had to get rid of a trellis because it “looks too much like a balcony enclosure.” I could get approval by getting on the Board myself, lol. But I was President of the Board about 30 years ago and it’s more work than I have time for now. Pretty soon solar will be widely used so they’ll get more comfortable with it, and the panels will improve and get cheaper too.

Archeologists noted that the burials appeared to have been conducted respectfully.

“Every single person buried here was in his or her own coffin and in [their] own grave, and they were lined up neatly,” Mack said.

Now you just have to get it past your HOA… I know mine is very fussy about what we can have on our balconies.
