Is Haley Morris-Cafiero a photographer?

Haley Morris-Cafiero Wait Watchers


Or is she a performer?  Or a conceptual artist?  Maybe the question should be “does it matter what we call her seeing as her work is so poignant?”  It’s a fair point, but I do think that her title is worth discussing.

Kenji Yoshino Covering


This post started out as a glowing review of Kenji Yoshino’s book Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights and turned into a similar sort of endorsement of Emilie Wapnick’s work.

In arguments in front of the Supreme Court this past week, the legality of same-sex marriage was discussed in terms of the “basic biological fact” of heterosexual reproduction.  Happily, scientist and author David George Haskell didn’t let that misdirection go unchallenged.

At the beginning of March, I visited the Big Apple but also DC.  In fact, the New York part of trip was extra credit.  I was actually flying east to talk at the Freedom to Connect conference in Washington.

Humon's Animal Lives


The fact that Animal Lives by Danish artist Humon and my Crime Against Nature have similar starting points only makes both projects more original, not less so. Le fait que Animal Lives par l’artiste danoise Humon et mon Crime contre nature ont le même point de départ rend les deux projets plus originaux et non pas moins.

Boing Boing


My book Crime Against Nature was featured on BoingBoing today!  And the large amount of traffic which that article sent my way meant that I had to reconsider the way I was making the e-version of the book available.
