I want to post some links... first an addendum to the last post...
As the protests in Athens continue , part of The New School in NYC is being occupied by student protestors.
Meanwhile... The writer of this blog is in Buenos Aires; visiting friends, collecting photographs, making some print-art, and generally escaping the northeastern winter. Here is an ongoing archive of photographs from the trip .

I am sitting here by the woodstove, catching myself up on some of the news around the world and thinking, and just feel the need to, ya know... post a blog, i guess.

Then on Saturday a 16 year-old anarchist boy is shot dead by police in Greece sparking riots in the streets of athens, global outrage and solidarity events across Europe.
