cassmaster P muses… Leisure vs. Contemplation… Coupled vs. Alone… (Yes, I do realize the polarized nature of this post… please indulge me anyway) I went to Cape Cod for 10 days last week on a real, legitimate VACATION. My first one, really. And here is my report: Vacation to me has always felt so decadent…

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday…That’s right – this coming Sunday, August 24th, 2008 from 12 to 2pm, we will be having the one and only Integral Activism Meeting at the Lila Center. Come one, come all. There is an exciting agenda planned – to give a quick preview, the meeting’s agenda includes: a review of the basic…

I returned to my apartment in the middle of the day on a Friday. Upon strolling down the block I was greeted with a foul stench in the air – a mix of rotting newspapers and dust and orange rinds that seemed to be coming from the oversized dumpster parked in the street right in…

This past Saturday afternoon I was out running in my neighborhood when I passed a New Orleans-style parade and wake. A jazz funeral, that is, something I can’t say I’ve ever seen in Brooklyn before. It quickly became clear to me that while I didn’t personally know the woman who died, the day before I’d…

Reading international news these days can make anyone anxious or upset: a war in Iraq that’s dragging on for years, a new war between Russia and Georgia that could get even worse, a war in Afghanistan no one’s talking about, hunger in Darfur… even the Olympic games, which should be happy, bring to light an…

The July 28 issue of the New Yorker (still the finest magazine in the world, despite the ill-advised, un-satirical Obama cover) had an article about the scientific inquiry into insight that got me all hot n’ bothered. In “The…

Hi there. Life is so weird, so unpredictable. Right? I just spent the last 24 hours basically living at Bellvue hospital because one of my friends got hit by a car. She is in a coma. I just sit beside her bed and talk to her tiny banged up body. And mostly I babysit her…

Hello all. I am a new blogger here on OneCity. My name is Kirsten (aka rewriteable). I am going to be regularly writing about topics and updates related to IDP’s Integral Activism project. As Stillman Brown recently posted, the Integral Activism/Back to the Sack Initiative managed to send over 400 signatures to Gov. Paterson asking…

Sunday night I went to a friend’s going away party. The party was fun and a lot of my close friends were there, but there were two things that bothered me throughout the evening. One was personal, one was more ideological, but both were connected. This isn’t any groundbreaking news, necessarily, but it’s something I…
