Proud to honour Dayne. 💜

Let's talk about eels & dams. 'Cause dams are a problem for eels now, but they haven't always been.

Eels can live out of water for a while, & travel overland. Young eels climb up & around small waterfalls as they migrate. And so many medieval dams weren't a problem for them. 1/7
Meme. Painting of two eels in the water. They are yellow, and so is the background, so it's unclear if these are yellow eels, or eels seen through a yellow filter. They don't much care, I would guess. One is looking to the left, and one is looking back over its metaphorical shoulder to the right. Neither is looking at you, and I think that's a choice. You should maybe spend some time thinking about why, and then try to move forward and live your life as the sort of person that eels would want to look at. Meme text reads: "Weir gonna climb Right over your dam"

Friends...it's Friday! So here, for your enjoyment, is a 15th C. marginal fellow is off to have a good time with an amazing eel.

I hope that your weekend plans include fun and amazing things, too! 🗃️🧪
Medieval marginal art showing a man holding a very large eel, and looking somewhat lustily at it. He is waring a blue robe, and he is bald on the top of his head. He's cradling the eel, and holding it up as if to kiss it, or study it closely. Or bite it. His mouth is open, so you never know. The man doesn't have legs, and the drawing ends in something that looks like an interlinear octopus tentacle. Is this an early form of tentacle porn? * Reasonable scholars will all agree that it is. In any event, you should never trust this man with either your eel or your child. It will end badly, no matter what. At the top of the page is another smaller drawing of a man's head at the end of something that looks like the body of a snake that ate a capybara. The man has a beard, and is looking back at his body as if to say, "WTF happened here?" * If you don't already know what this is, don't look it up. Trust me.

Can't believe things have gotten so dire that I'd rather follow Jack to a new platform, but here we are, I guess. Thanks, Alex, for the invite
