looking to gift an icon of my friends patron saint, and not sure where is best to buy from. she’s specifically serbian orthodox if it matters.

also do i need to make an appointment or call the church before getting it blessed? or can i just show up? does it need to be cared for in a specific way after its blessed (like not placing other objects on top, etc)?

sorry in advance if my questions are silly, i just have no idea about any of this stuff and obviously can’t ask her because it’s a birthday surprise

i’ve thinking about starting a feminist literature book club at uofg, would anyone be interested?

idea is:
- 1 book per semester (so it’s not overwhelming)
- biweekly virtual meetings, likely using discord as that’s what i’m familiar with
- depending on size, breakout room discussions where we discuss pre chosen prompts, and then discuss as a larger group
- super low pressure if you fall behind on reading

i also want to put together a short monthly zine with summaries + discussion highlights + maybe anonymous reflections, so people who miss meetings can still keep up

if this sounds like something you’d join (or even just try once), let me know! trying to see if there’s enough interest to get it going
