Wow, this hit me so hard: "When the British came to Ireland they burned the trees to enforce their domination. It destroyed the shelter in which the Irish could hide from their colonizers and simultaneously destroyed a cultural connection to the land, terrorizing a free people away from their language and traditions which were rooted in the forests." Horrific. What a huge celebration that St. Brigid's day is back.
Also, that quote from Sonya Renee Taylor on whiteness is so powerful.
