holy fucking shit, these fragments. watch where you step. watch what you step in. what's that smell?

Parents: Ana María Cofiño Hunter, Magnus Hunter (in Chicago)

New Zealand partners: Amanda Jane and George. homesick.

Aaron: I respect you more now that I've seen you care for someone. begrudgingly.

Ahana: She was more hardass than I am about cutting people slack. I hope the universe cuts her some slack.

Alexandra: In a scientific lineage that includes Sophie Germain. (They really treated Sophie Germain like shit, you know?). I voted for her. What of it? She systemizes. We need systemizers.

Arthur: He needs a colleague like Bob Paine. Paine treated his students as peers, supporting their endeavors without directing them."

Bit aka James: A really solid person in a crisis.

Alma told Bit, "I mean duh, it should have been obvious, right? right? He (her advisor - Ed.) says, He says, "The question isn't so much 'do other animals experience it?' as 'why would Humans be the only species to experience it?'"

("It" refers to "choice blindness". Alma's player send an email to a biologist she knows who writes stories about whether intelligence requires consciousness and so forth because this is related to their interests. and this was part of their reply. - Ed.)

Bit's friend David: a guy in a suit. She was uncomfortable.

Bryn: beautiful but easier to talk to. warm. relaxing.

Charles: I thought /maybe/ he'd take one book to be polite, but he took the whole stack. Maybe when he finishes all of those I can give him some cog pysch stuff? ecology? Ps. give more food. what is it with hungry people around here?

Emma: Yes. I voted for her. but she doesn't understand cleansing. Uh, neither do I but I don't understand it better than she doesn't.

Ezekiel: Why would I want to learn things the easy way? You did not.

Graham: Maybe he's that adviser that has to herd quarreling students? I hope he is good at it. sorry to cause trouble.

that girl: oh, yay. she looked at me.

J0: Research partner. Really kick-ass drones.

James: A pleasant person to meet on a hike. He knows good things about anger. Wouldn't his mind be totally blown if he knew just really how much we can talk to everything?

Jamila: She's so tense.

Jim, homid intern: very earnest. Manages the life of a student despite working a second shift; Jim, corax form: you goof. <laughs>

Kai: graftings. I think it's how we can be in the world when we can't fit. it's not a perfect metaphor, but she introduced me to them. I want to trace her fingers and wrists and the flow of water inside. Shall we dance? I forgot to tell her about orange scuffings!!!! Note to self, thank her for orange seeds.

Maria: Talented and resourceful. Might be okay even I did fall apart.

Maya: Working with you is /hard/. Why the fuck did you do that?! I feel like I was not so much working with you as just being in the same place while you did your own thing. No, that's not how I work with someone.

None: Are you still out there?

Note: My friend who is a crow. We'll be okay--I hope. We can do this together.

Raphael: A new vet in town who did not get all phased by tending to an exotic. Thanks! Blue has a tail again.

Rei: A very exact person. I like people who are exact. She may be too cautious about people, especially sick ones.

Tori Sully, intern: 18, Wayne State University '21 (Undecided, maybe journalism?) - Born Denver, CO

Victoria: Ok I think I get it. The audience is inside the book and that's why the books are turned insight out.

Wednesday: crow friend. peace maker. family. Of course I voted for him. Vote for the one who can laugh at no one's expense. Vote for the one who works to form coalitions.

Zach: Have you ever listened to him? There's a reverberation when he moves with reality. It's beautiful[1]. He doesn't break trails that people follow. Lives on borders. No, I did not damn near kill us all. I saved us all from being road pizza, thank you very much.
