Embroidery I made for the Dutch holiday "King's Day" 4 years ago. I think the meaning is pretty clear even if you don't speak Dutch.

Wearing a bright orange kippa, Ronny Naftaniel, a former leader of Dutch Jews, examines items at a junkyard sale in a village in the east of the Netherlands.

The eye-catching kippa is part of an initiative co-launched by two prominent non-Jewish Dutch actors, Huub Stapel and Hans Teeuwen, to protest antisemitism on King’s Day on Saturday. On that national holiday, Dutchmen wear their national color of orange in honor of their royal house, and many attend junkyard sales across the kingdom.

Baruch Van Riel, a Jewish wine importer from Baarle-Nassau, a small town near the border with Belgium, writes on Facebook that he wore an orange kippa to synagogue on Saturday.Stapel tells the Hart van Nederland news site that the hundreds of orange kippot that he and Teeuwen ordered for King’s Day are in demand. The team’s call for mayors to wear the kippot in solidarity with Dutch Jews has failed to enlist any of the mayors of the Netherlands’ large cities, he says

“I think it’s a little lame,” Stapel tells the Hart van Nederland website about the absence of a response by mayors amid reports that the number of antisemitic incidents in 2023 reached an all-time record of 379 cases, most of them after October 7. “It’s no political statement, it’s an attempt at connecting people so the country doesn’t fall apart,” Stapel tells Hart van Nederland.

frank: let me get this straight. thalia and jason’s domain is the sky, percy’s domain is water, and hazel and nico’s domain is basically the underground?

annabeth: yes

frank: but… can’t percy also create storms? that have clouds and lightning and thunder?

annabeth: yes

frank: and… and can’t percy also create earthquakes and make volcanoes erupt?

annabeth: yes

frank: so… in a way, doesn’t that mean everywhere is percy’s domain?

annabeth: yes.

annabeth: but don’t tell him. he hasn’t had that realization yet

People always try to sell the weirdest shit on King's Day flea-market, some items look like they came straight out of a garbage bin. And people still try to sell it 😆
