Happy birthday, Dorothy Day! (November 8, 1897)

A major leader of the left-wing Catholic Worker movement, Dorothy Day grew up in a nominally religious family, and consumed herself in the world of books. She read Upton Sinclair and Jack London, Kropotkin and Tolstoy, coming to embrace a radical social politics. She worked for several socialist publications, such as The Masses and The Call, and agitated for social progress while associating with radical figures such as Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. In 1926, Day converted to Catholicism, and in 1933 became a founder of the Catholic Worker movement, contributing frequently to its publications. A pacifist, Day stood consistently and resolutely against war. She also involved herself in the establishment of the Catholic Worker houses of hospitality, facilities which provide shelter, food, and resources to the destitute. She died in 1980 after a long life of activism, and the Church has explored the possibility of canonizing her since 1983, although some in the Catholic Worker movement object to this.

“People say, 'What is the sense of our small effort?' They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.”

Murder your Employer (The McMasters guide to homicide) by Rupert Holmes.

DELETION Our preferred term for “murder” [vulg.], although some younger staff have lately adopted “omission” as less austere. Note that while “to delete” is our verb of choice, we do not use “to omit” as an alternative.
