Celebrating Hild
On this day in 680 CE Hild of Whitby, patron saint of learning and culture (including poetry) died. I mark her feast day because she marked my life, and my writing, indelibly.

To be clear. I am capable of agreeing with you on one issue & disagreeing on another issue. I expect that other people will be like this too.
I am an animal rights supporting, pacifist, radical feminist. I believe in grass roots activism & decision making, I'm skeptical of representative democracy.

Male violence is definitely the way to persuade us all that these men should have access to women's services, provisions & sports.
