Just got back from seeing Connie Willis speak [View all]

For those who don't know her, she's a sci-fi grandmaster who has won more Hugos than anyone else.
She started off light and funny, told some stories about her vacation, read a story about aliens during the last solar eclipse, then started talking about her Time Travel books. By the end, as she was talking about St. Paul's Cathedral during the blitz, the subject of one of her short stories. she said, "Hitler was defeated by those he deemed weak and useless. Remember that there is always something you can do." It was an incredible moment, and I just felt I had to share it.
