A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.

The 'profession as a self-regulating collective without' aspect has to feature as an explanation here. Doctors and lawyers as classical professions know how to self-organise and do things without a lot of state direction, so anarchism would seem a natural fit.
i mean the conservative preference for order means that lawyers are an obvious fit, but one interesting thing about the survey is that lawyers make up a chunk of the *anarchists* surveyed

Kinda has the vibe of chiding the unsophisticated ordinary idiom for not appreciating the nuances, but when all is said and done it doesn't actually have anything to do with those nuances. It just wanted you to know that it was aware of them.

Preparing 'scripts' for our department's videos of some courses I teach, and it's really hard to try boil down a module into 45 seconds. Concision is not a skill I've developed yet - more's the pity. When enrolments crater I will just roll out the Principal Skinner meme.
