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.

What was your unfortunate Mastodon setting choice?

Easier. I don't think that word means what you think it means. #xfinity

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

let the willow #weep tonight
and to the stars belie
its tendency to shun the fight
when tempest winds do fly
for though the mighty oak may fall
and every hemlock fail
the willow bends to heed the call
and o'er the storm prevail
