Aurora vs. the Bureaucrat
I think there’s no time like the present to teach your kids that bureaucracies are made for poking holes in. Like, when they’re three months old. Aurora and I set off for downtown Oakland, to get her paper trail going. Ours is a documentation-crazy society, and it’s far easier to do all this when they’re [...]
