The torment had been escalating all week. People had tried to trip her. Her locker had been vandalized. And now someone had made tarot cards of Death with her picture and was leaving them around the school. (2/3) #wss366

She sat in the bathroom stall, staring at the floor, feeling #numb. She had worked so hard to get into this school and was still stunned that students could be so cruel. It wasn't just the #crude comments muttered behind her back. It was much worse. (1/3) #wss366

Just wrapped up the panel at @SFWA Quasar about "Science Fact in Science Fiction: Getting It Right in SFF." What a fantastic bunch of authors! We had a great time and were able to play off one another really well. I'm having a great time.

I never ever click on anything in an interstitial, other than to close it (and frequently just close the tab instead). But very occasionally, I might want to do the thing in the interstitial and am a little sad that, since it was presented to me in an interstitial, I won't ever do it.

I had the pleasure of hosting James Cambias for a presentation on Worldbuilding last weekend. It was fantastic and I learned a lot. https://stevendbrewer.com/worldbuilding-101/

I had meetings and errands pretty much all day today, so — although I really should be catching up on grading my overdue papers — I'm slacking this evening, listening to J-pop and reading manga.

There is still (barely) time to sign up for the @SFWA Quasar online conference that starts tomorrow (Nov 15). The program looks fantastic with lots of professional development opportunities and a keynote address by Nicola Griffith and Lois McMaster Bujold! Join us! https://membership.sfwa.org/event-6301796
