Legion. An amalgamated journal.
  • About Legion
    "I do not know whether mine is a profession, or a trade, or what not. It is not yet learned, and in every instance has been practised before being studied .... It is not one but legion." —Henry David Thoreau, to the Secretary of the Harvard College Class of 1837, in response to an inquiry on his employment.

    At Legion, we reserve the right to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, and criticise after dinner, just as we have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. Legion is an organ of the Matinicus Syndicate, of which more here.

Well, we’d like to extend a similar welcome.

    No, no, that would be us.

    I don’t think reading Kottke excludes your set from being ugly people, though.

    In fact, I’d predict a strong correlation between Kottke and an awkwardness that can only be vented through highly self-conscious blogging.
