And this guy.

Office mate. Friend. Co-conspirator. Alibi and moral compass. She saved my life, literally and figuratively. I owe practically the entirety of my grad school experience to her. There's nobody who's built me up when I was low like she has, and nobody who's helped me stay focused on the good when I would have been only too happy to pole vault back into the bad. I love this Polynesian cyborg unicorn canine from the future deeply.
