I need to find a suitable "Fabdom Old" icon one of these days :D

It seems that Dreamwidth fandom skews older than most other sites (especially Tumblr) which is nice!

That is so awesome that you get to discuss the Good Place in philosophy class :D I wish it had been airing back when I was doing my RS A level!

Also, a fellow White Collar fan from the UK! \o/ would you like to be friends? :)

[sorchasilver]

I have one student who is writing their assignment on ethics and is using examples and quotes from the show to support their argument. It's kinda awesome!

I would love to be friends (sorry for late reply, between work and current weather which has shut the city down things have been weird for the last few days!).
