I was getting ragey about gender and capitalism and then I remembered I need a daily walk so I got cute snacks from the shop and light shone from within twilight buildings and then everything could be beautiful again.

Brigid: Goddess and Saint
St Brigid's Eve and Day
In both Scotland and Ireland, Brigid was believed by many to visit every house on the eve of her feast day, and leave her blessing on the people and animals of the household.

Erica is utterly brilliant and this is a gift worth opening.
I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
