If you don't know Hypatia, I recommend taking a look here.

As we stumble through the world's gyrations, sometimes it's nice to have a little lighthearted thoughtfulness...

As we get set to re-broadcast the start of our #WiseWomen series, head over to Philosophers Corner to read the blog about that first episode exploring the life and though of Hypatia of Alexandria: philosophytalk.org/blog/ancient.... #PhilSky #philosophy #women @nehgov.bsky.social

Sunday morning philosophy with my coffee perfect combo.
