one last thing is that it is very easy to love animals, because they cannot speak back to you. the global south knows this, we know that pets matter more to usamericans than human lives, i remember that a flight was chartered for dogs while afghanis waited desperately as the taliban bore down, palestinians joke that animal charities in gaza are more popular than their pleas are, tribal communities in india are subject to the establishment of no go sanctuaries that destroy their access to subsistence to protect endangered animals. behind the mask of animal liberation sometimes hides the hatred of liberation.

so. um. the good news is we found your boyfriend. the bad news is that, well, we sort of…dug him up…in the middle of a car park. in leicester (buckley et al. 2013). leicester, yeah. sorry. they demolished the friary he was hastily interred in when henry viii dissolved all the monasteries. you know how it is. and as it turns out, well, shakespeare was…sort of right about him. scoliosis, yeah, sorry (appleby et al. 2014). if it makes you feel any better we analysed his bones and it turns out he had a pretty high-protein diet before he died (lamb et al. 2014). and he drank so much wine that it changed their chemical composition, which we didn't know could actually happen before we analysed him (lamb et al. 2014), so he was having a good time, at least.

Tu Dios es judío,
tu música es negra,
tu carro es japonés,
tu pizza es italiana,
tu gas es argelino,
tu café es brasilero,
tu democracia es griega,
tus números son árabes, tus letras son latinas.
Soy tu vecino ¿Y todavía me llamas extranjero?
Eduardo Galeano
