Anonymous asked: Thank you, I really appreciate your opinion. I never got my package back, it seems to have been lost in transit and I need an ID to claim something from the post office and I don't have one. Is it okay if I just send a new one? Also I sent a money order how do I get my money back? O______O

Anonymous asked: Hi. I was wondering if you think it's still worth it to apply for DACA? Or should we wait for an immigration bill?

Anonymous asked: Hi, my partner and I hope to apply for a marriage-based green card for her; it's not possible now because we're in a same-sex relationship. We're waiting to hear what the Supreme Court says about DOMA. Can you recommend any immigration lawyers in DC/MD/VA who we could consult in the meantime, just to discuss what the process might entail if we're allowed to go through with it?

Fallacy of the creative class: Why Richard... →
By the urbanist creative-class metric, Oakland is winning. It’s a top city for urban farmers, local organic gourmet food snobs (love you, food snobs!), cyclists, and art-lovers. It’s home to a growing number of imported young makers, tech start-ups, and rising artists, in large part because of its close proximity to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. At the same time, about 13 percent of Oakland...
