So much love.

“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era. 

“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”

Other materials at the time, namely clay, would absorb flavors and germs meaning that if you ate beef off a clay plate your next meal with that plate could have beef flavor and microbes common on cow meat on it.  That would leak out seemingly at random no less.  Heck imagine a sick person coughing into their soup bowl and then months later their germs hiding in the clay would pop out to infect whole new people.

Also the earliest human use of glass we know of is for its sharpness.  Pre-historic people would use volcanic glass as sharp knives for food preparation.  Also beads.  Pretty much any new substance humans get their hands on for most of our history we immediately try to make into beads.

This is Parking Lot! He is about five weeks old and was thrown out of someone’s car in a parking lot, and in a few weeks, he will be needing a home. Parking Lot is going to be adoptable from the Sevier County Animal Care Center, so there will be an adoption fee, but he will be fully vaccinated and neutered.

Parking Lot is already litter box trained, and we are working on socialization and stimulus exposure. He is already very, very friendly though and loves to snuggle. I do have formal animal training experience (cats, raccoons, all kinds of critters), so if you adopt him, I can guarantee he will be an amazing indoor only house cat.
