Last night in Kansas, and we won! — and our whole presence was redundant, maybe, languishing as we were among the suburbs with our flyers and what not, and yet we won! and lo, the celebrations, and though my bosses take their leave too soon, the barkeep is quite fun, though she is married. :(

Hypothesis: mandatory reading lists are created by joyless nincompoops and/or sadists. 👀 I had the same issue in my Russian high school: it was nothing but depressing 19th-century Russian literature, most of it written by sad slaveowners. 🤮 (Rot in hell, Tolstoy.) That killed my love of reading. 🙁

I swear to God, part of the problem of literacy is that we make kids read SO MANY books like this. Of course they’re going to associate reading with misery! We put them in a Skinner box and shock them when they read, what did people THINK would happen?

yes, the Tiresome Literature Boy could be exhausting at parties when he tried book mogging you while looking down his nose at you over his bottle of Vermont craft beer but you could feel reasonably confident he wasn’t going to unhinge his jaw and attempt to devour you in the name of proteinmaxxing

This may well be the fanciest rejection letter I've ever received. :) "Dear Mighty-Thewed Author, Thank you for your submission. Alas, other scribes have claimed the prize. Your valor shall be remembered. Know that this shall not be the last chance to send stories to our magazine."

Slooowly perusing the Worldcon event list, and there are over 1,600 of them to choose from. 😮 And so many of them overlap! This is definitely one of those times I wish I had a time machine. 🙃
