Opium pipe - China, Qing dynasty to Republican period, inscribed with cyclical date corresponding to 1868 or 1928. Water buffalo horn, metal, and ceramic. - Harvard Art Museums
It probably wasn't a bequest, it just kept turning up in the House Administrator's residence at Cabot House. 🔽
Tumblr media
Cabot House (above) was built with money donated from Boston's most successful slave-trading, opium-smuggling family, the Cabots. Serously, the house is named in honor of Thomas and Virginia Cabot, benefactors of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges. The Cabots were part of the Boston Brahmin, also known as the "first families of Boston".
Here's the Cabot family Coat of arms.

Perhaps the 3 fish represent the ways the family built their fortune at sea:
Slave-trading
Piracy
Opium smuggling
Opulence and Opium: The Legacy of Harvard's Drug Syndicate
Of all the families implicated in the drug trade, Bradley argues, the Cabot family was the most nefarious. The Cabots profited from the slave trade. They sent privateers to attack ships from imperial powers and sell their spoils. Finally, while operating in China, they caught wind of the lucrative opium export business. Elated, they brought the trade back to Boston. Within a few short decades, the Cabots had formed an empire, cementing their status as Boston’s elite, the Boston Brahmins. [...] these families had become deeply embedded in the Harvard hierarchy. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, members of these families were treasurers for Harvard, directors for the Harvard and the Massachusetts Bank, and even the president of Harvard College.

Party-time at Cabot House! Harvard students and one of their professors, celebrating the football team's 18-0 victory over rival Dartmouth on November 12th 1910 in one of the Cabot house's dorm rooms.
I'm just kidding about that being a photograph of Harvard students, but they really did beat Dartmouth that year.

ATTENTION HALIFAX/DARTMOUTH N.S. RESIDENTS
There is a protest against palestinian oppression scheduled for TOMORROW AT 2 PM.
Tumblr media
Le link in the image: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0egTverDmJ/
It's very unlikely I will be able to attend, my dad is very defeatest about the genocide in gaza and likely would kill me (metaphorically) if he knew I attended a protest, but I strongly urge everyone who physically can to take part!
This is a prime opportunity to be a part of the movement for change palestinians need so desperately. Don't waste it!
Feel free to reblog to spread it around!

Some Nova Scotians will now have a better idea of how long they’ll have to wait before accessing care when arriving at a hospital. On Tuesday, Nova Scotia Health launched a new “information tool” online to offer the public access to live wait-time estimates at 10 different emergency departments throughout the province. Some of the hospitals include the QEII Halifax Infirmary Site, Dartmouth General Hospital, and the Cape Breton Regional Hospital in Sydney. “A trip to the emergency department can be frightening, particularly when you don’t know how long it will take to get the care you need. That’s why we want to be transparent with Nova Scotians about wait times,” said Khalehla Perrault, a spokesperson for the province’s Department of Health and Wellness. As of 4 p.m. on Thursday, the wait time provided for the Dartmouth General Hospital was ranging between one hour and 15 minutes to three hours and 30 minutes, with the emergency department in Sydney showing a wait time of up to six hours.

Please read! Useful info below!
It's probably already obvious but
Lockheed Martin Supplies israel's ability to bomb Palestinian civilians.
Example below.
Tumblr media
I'm not sure exactly how extensive their current support is, but it's absolutely complicit in an ongoing genocide.
I would highly recommend investigating, impeding, and eventually protesting at the company's locations.
Here's one near-ish-kinda to my current location to start with:
Address: 40 Highfield Park Dr Unit 100, Dartmouth, NS B3A 0A3
Tumblr media
If anyone else knows any locations (ESPECIALLY factories) owned by Lockheed Martin or any other arms manufacturer/defense contractor and wants to add to this, feel free to reblog with that info!
(Feel free to reply with info on how these organizations support genocide as well)
