8 November 17

This is Dorothy Day's Day! Day was born on this day in 1897. The short story is that she was "an American journalist, social activist, and Catholic convert. Day initially lived a bohemian lifestyle before gaining fame as a social activist after her conversion" (Wikipedia). The "Atlantic" calls her "a saint for difficult people." Photos of Saint Dorothy show that she dressed plainly, but I think she would not object to this tie with red and silver crossing stripes to honor her memory.
