When the Storm is Forgotten

Props to Fooz for hittin’ me up with a link to Audio Anarchy: Books-on-tape (er, well, books-on-MP3) for the anarchist on the go.
My friend Esti just e-mailed me this ketubah [marriage contract] from a wedding she attended yesterday, written by the chattan & kallah [groom & bride], which prominently features Emma Goldman’s ideal of marriage. Fresh!
I spoke to the reporter who wrote this piece for well over and hour. He seemed like a nice enough guy and I really thought he understood what I was talking about. But um, nope. All my quotes are botched and the explainations of my projects — let alone their names — [...]
