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

Abraham: I don't know what you regret so much but maybe that's what keeps you from thinking you can build a place like that. ARGHGARGH apologize to the dude but, man, am I still angry.

Bit: flannel. this is good. omg omg I interrupted him here have my food is this how bars work and also did you know about choice blindness and why didn't I ever consider it with it crows wow you are a genius.

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

Hypolita: In a scientific lineage that includes Sophie Germain. (They really treated Sophie Germain like shit, you know?)

Arthur: I looked up his CV. He's brilliant, but he might be sabotaging his work by how he treats his interns. He needs a mentor like Bob Paine. "Paine set a high intellectual bar, and was gruff and challenging. “He's very brusque and abrupt, and he kind of scowls a lot,” says Lubchenco. But he also encouraged irreverence and mischief — he once signed the name of his friend, Peter Kareiva, on Christmas cards full of lascivious limericks and posted them to the world's top ecologists. Paine treated his students as peers, supporting their endeavours without directing them."

Ahana: She's more hardass than I am about cutting people slack.

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.

James: really tall dude. neat outfit, but he's going to get overheated in that coat soon. from Wales? Why does someone from Wales like the Eagles? Where are they from? I can't remember. Wonder if he is new in town he sounds new in town because he asked about how people talk to people in coffee shops around here. Birbs are interesting, yep. Does not know why rain does the thing it does when it is falling a lot and is cloudy looking versus more clear looking. We should look in to this oh hey gotta go.

J0: Research partner.

Jamila: Excuse me, you are in my personal space. This person is clearly overworked. I am firm in my resolve to see her to a dance. .oO( woa this person does not hate me! that is so cool. I like you, you are so cool. oh boy just wait until I stick a foot in. )

Jim, homid intern: very earnest. Manages the life of a student despite working a truly dangerous 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: I know life is difficult and that helping this city will be hard, but it's okay. I'll help you out.

None: Acarya? Will you be okay?

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

Victoria: !!!?!?!JHK#LKJ!#!! (at least she laughed). Okay maybe I can talk to her like a normal person.

Wednesday: pockets full of seeds and copper

Zach: Someone I would just like to sit around with while we read or something, you know? Have you ever listened to him? There's a reverberation, and he's got interference patterns with reality. It's beautiful[1]. I love how it feels in my ear. Does he know that all the people he connects to connect to him and hold him true? Hey dude, keep breaking paths. We find paths. (I don't think either of us have a hypothesis that fits the paperwork thing though. I wonder if we could make a database, put him in it, and then see what happens to the database? would it crash?)
