James M Branum - יעקב מתתיהו ☮My dear friend and hero in local activism, Bob Waldrop wrote a book, really a compendium of resources on permaculture, frugal living, gardening, and so much more.
Bob has passed on back in 2019, but I think it is important that he not be forgotten, so I’ve decided to republish his book "iPermie: How to Permaculture your Urban Lifestyle" as a PDF (released under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial share-alike license).
Here's how to download the book: https://jmb.mx/blog/2025/11/23/republishing-ipermies-how-to-permaculture-your-urban-lifestyle-by-bob-waldrop/

Liam O'Mara IV, PhDIn 1965 on #ThisDayInHistory, #RogerAllenLaPorte became the third American to #SelfImmolate over the #VietnamWar, outside the UN. A part of the #CatholicWorker Movement and a strong #pacifist, he considered his death to be a religious act in protest of an immoral imperialist war.
MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History November 8, 1897: Dorothy Day was born. She was a Christian anarchist, journalist and activist. In 1933, she cofounded the Catholic Worker movement with Peter Maurin, combining a spiritual vision of social justice with trade unionism and other activism. They used nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience to fight for the rights of workers, the poor and homeless, and against war. Catholic Worker houses still exist throughout the country, providing hospice care, housing for activists, and support for various movements.

Angie ManginoPatrick Jordan, who died October 2, embodied the Catholic Worker ethos throughout his life. He moved to New York in 1968 to volunteer, met Dorothy Day, and became editor of The Catholic Worker newspaper. He and his wife Kathleen lived as Day's neighbors on Staten Island until her death in 1980. Jordan went on to edit Commonweal for 28 years, writing powerful editorials on peace and social justice.

Dana WilliamsIf you're curious about #anarchism in #NYC, then check out a book edited by Tom Goyens called Radical Gotham: Anarchism in #NewYorkCity from Schwab's Saloon to #OccupyWallStreet. It includes an overview of various ethnic communities (German, Yiddish, Italian, Spanish) during the classical era & post-WWII topics (including the #CatholicWorker, Why? newspaper, the #LivingTheater, Up Against the Wall MFer, ABC No Rio, and Occupy). Great collection!
"The Eucharist is in the poor." Martha Hennessy, granddaughter of Catholic Worker Movement co-founder Dorothy Day, continues her grandmother's mission of radical Christian discipleship. Day, a candidate for sainthood, co-founded a movement that "took the Sermon on the Mount and Catholic social teaching literally" by feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless.

My journey as a Tottenville historian began as a reporter covering Spanish Camp's demise, where I discovered Dorothy Day had stayed in a summer cottage as retreat from her Catholic Worker ministry. Learning she was baptized at my own parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, changed everything. History became personal.
