Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song "A Las Barricadas".
Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of "A Las Barricadas" to the tune of "Warszawianka 1905 roku", itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

Oh also the ceiling-danglers are neat--like, paper plug-in chandeliers (swag lights?). They can be a convenient solution for awkward or crowded spaces; I ran mine on a foot switch extension cord but with modern tech a smart bulb or remote or something might be better
If you do go the "smart home" route, stick with stuff that follows the Zigbee standard like Ikea's Tradfri line. The short version is that if you ever get tired of proprietary cloud app corporate nonsense, you can use the same hardware on an open-source system like Home Assistant. If possible, sticking to hardware on this list will save you a lot of time and headaches and money.
