Reading Notes & Quotes

"An old friend, Dima, whom I've known since he was a boy and whom I last met during Kiev's Orange Revolution in 2004, spent a lot of time at the portests this winter. He drew an analogy from the social media discourse that played such an important part in this, as in so many other recent revolutions. 'Any time there's trouble,' he said, 'I have to be here, working as a pixel.'"
