thank you so much for starting this! #Rhetoric and #writingstudies people, unite!!!

Mark Hamill we have been waiting for your arrival. It's nice, quiet, and Elon-free here.

Aww thank you! I work at The City College of New York (I teach there and am in the WC) and I also teach at the John Jay College for Criminal Justice. I mainly write poetry.

Also, I had a little fangirl moment because of you, the University of Pittsburgh and the model ya'll have to comp/rhet.
