This is a fascinating subject. Or collection of them. | jaspax wrote: | Man, that's a wild story. On the one hand, I'm desperately | curious to know what the truth about St. Bride's is; on the other | hand, I'm sort of glad that there are still (or recently were) | weird and unapologetic places like this that don't feel the need | to explain themselves. | bencollier49 wrote: | These days they'd be doxxed and harassed all over the Internet. | It's more difficult to find untamed places where real things | can happen these days. | handojin wrote: | Yeah. You'd have to practice absolute discretion to avoid | that kind of harrassment. That'd make you hard to find. | dang wrote: | This is quite the rabbit hole. | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Sisterhood | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Martindale | | https://flexiblehead.blog/2014/02/16/st-brides-school/ | | https://www.rte.ie/archives/2019/0319/1037244-saint-brides-s... | | https://archive.org/details/your-computer-magazine-1987-12/p... | | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSAHXpC4SlA | | https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4486213 | | http://thefemininityproject.com/about-mary-guillermin/ | bencollier49 wrote: | A few years before the turn of the millennium, I took a year | out before university, and spent some time travelling around | the country (I'm from the UK) and working in exchange for | board. | | A lot of communes which had been established in the 1970s and | 80s were still extant, and visiting was fascinating and an | absolute blast. Few of them still remain, and those which do | have distinctly toned down, moving from howling at the moon, | orgone accumulators and three day sundances to straight | ecological workshops. Bit of a shame, really. | greatquux wrote: | This was a great article (I read it last week).
