Our anniversary is the day before the kids' birthday, so it's this muddle in our brains, mostly a day we run cake-related errands. I always come back to this essay in my head. I thought I was writing about IVF but I was writing about us.

The norm seems to be: If the artifact was created "outside" the Internet it's fair game for reinterpretation and can be used without attribution; if it came from "here" or near here, attribution is required or you're "stealing." It's a new norm, not a bad one.
