On Gender Essentialist Rielle Hunter Speaks To Tabloid

"Gender Essentialist" would make a better business card tag than "Being is Free," if only because it would make things easier when it comes time to open up a rate discussion.

On Reflections On The Gowanus Canal

I'm really, really glad to hear that the Gowanus finally got Superfund status.

My first year in New York I walked the mile and a half or so from my apartment in Brooklyn Heights to Park Slope three or four times a week. The canal looked substantially different every time I went by, depending largely on the weather and time of day. Like, I'd go by at midmorning and the water would look relatively normal (though suspiciously fauna-free), and then come back two hours later to find I was actually crossing a miles-long oil slick. As if the Cobble Hill/Park Slope borderlands were being haunted by the displaced ghost of the Exxon-Valdez.
