@This is offensive to those students who aren’t actually animals at barnard
@Dear Bwog: I SEE WUT U DID THERE. By which I mean you tagged Barn(y)ard and then removed it.
@Disappointed This really hasn’t been Bwog’s day as far as sensitivity goes, has it?
@Eliza Dude, it really hasn’t. We messed up today and we’re sorry about that. No excuses to be made, we promise to be better tomorrow.
@Dear Bwog: Hey. It’s OK. I will always love you. Always. Don’t you forget that.
