It’s almost like the people who love to complain about no-dissent liberal college campuses just want to make sure you don’t have anyone but ultra right wing grade school teachers.

If you left your almost-full journal and a copy of Aurelius’ “Meditations” on the Q train, DM me so I can send them back to you. I know I’d be heartbroken if I lost my diary.
