[just matt @questionableway]

okay it's done who wants it? i did every single judicial retention, and added something for Dr. Gioisa just because i could not resist, she's too great

[Benjamin Morgan @morganbenjamin]

@questionableway Thank you! I wish I hadn’t already voted!

@MagdaAnnegrete woah, didn’t even consider that it might be intentionally ambiguous

seems like a bad sign that our library is now purchasing ebooks with no pagination and no PDF option

[Benjamin Morgan @morganbenjamin]

It’s true though: by the time you’re 18 you should have outgrown Wuthering Heights and moved on to Middlemarch

"Take English classes. Read a bunch; read some more. Then take even more English classes."

This is me going hard for English, the humanities, UIC, and the publicness of public higher ed.

[Benjamin Morgan @morganbenjamin]

@Eric_Erins For a while we had one that we put out when we had guests over!
