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.

    The exact phrase doesn’t appear, but this editorial seems to express the same sentiment.

    In Mather House, Josh Allen’s email signature is known as The Destroyer of Mather-Open Threads — because he has a habit of sending like six one-line emails at the same time, each appended with his two-screen-long signature. Josh Allen does this because he is a bad person.
