So in addition to today being release day for Last First Snow, mrissa has a new story up on Strange Horizons: "It Brought Us All Together".
As I've said elsewhere, I'm particular fond of this one, because I feel that it gets many things about the performance of grief and the ways compassion is and isn't extended in the wake of tragedy exactly right. Plus, y'know, administrative freakouts in school contexts. It pretty much nails that part too.
Anyway. Highly recommended. Go check it out.
ETA: Apparently today is the day for twomrissa stories! Her Gnome Genomics story just came out. It has a very long title, and is very funny. So go read that too.
