on the uncontrollable

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Wed, 12/11/2013 - 8:17pm.

So I'm struck here, first, by your linking server failure w/ bad weather--the uncontrollable things that will always get in the way of political advertising: one techno-logical, one eco-logical, both interruptive of human-driven goals and expectations...

How many volunteers had you been expecting? (just wondering what percentage of the hoped-for whole your 15-18 folks represented).

Your description of feminist community organizing is very heartening....

and your question of "what difference your presence made to the outcome" is also important,
since energy will always be limits: how best to expend it?

And of course I want to talk with you about the discomfort of a senator instructing a group of female volunteers to "stand up"--let's re-play that moment, and imagine an intervention....
