Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

I thought this Judith Butler interview on gender was excellent. It was an exchange of emails, so much better than a conversation; the written word is still the most powerful tool of communication we have.

[The initial version of this post mailed to subscribers had the wrong link to the Butler interview. Sorry about that. It’s now been corrected.]

    Hi Matthew, the link to the Judith Butler piece is broken. Can you give us the correct one? Thanks.
