I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How silly of you to think you were the expert in your own accessibility issues, Hil.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hil, this is just ridiculous. I'm sorry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That is utter weaselly bullshit, Hil.

Sure, you can get to the classroom. You can't actually *teach your class*, but I don't see how that could possibly be of any concern to the university...

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

C'mon, University of Hil, get your shit together.

Our wings are not tired

Well, I have now been told that my classroom issue is "not an accessibility issue," because I am able to get to the front of the classroom. Apparently, being able to move around the classroom is just an extra bonus, not something that's a real accessibility issue.

Sounds like time to lawyer up and have a discussion about what actually meets ADA accomadation requirements.

This may be going nuclear on them. I'm in a bit of a mood about things right now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just got another email that they might have a solution, and they'll let me know tomorrow.

Always Anti-fascist!

Big of them. Wish I could say that most of my access conversations never felt that stupid, but they absolutely did.

OK, it's fixed. My two classes are now both in the same classroom, one that doesn't have stairs. (And which does have desks on wheels so the students can sit in groups, which is what I wanted.)

Yay! But about time.
