Wait wait wait. She’s giving homework now?

No, not homework, and not a bibliography (god forbid). I realised though, that I reference people that I know about and you may not. I’m going to make a little list here and if you want to know more about anyone specific it might be a little easier to find. Probably not going to be alphabetical, but we’ll see how much energy I have after spell-checking.
