I like one (1) braggart

I still have a signed copy of this book! He was very kind to me when I was a teenager and discovered he lived in my city. Chatted with me and a bunch of other people interested in writing. Gave me a Word doc with the text of Am I Blue? to share with people. And Full Cast Audio is really cool!

It's Dylan, Dylan is the nice things Kupo sleeps on

The real mismatch I've found is that Asciidoc expects you to be writing the entire document in it, but what people mostly end up writing in markdown are fragments of a page 😞

But yeah, Asciidoc is so much nicer and feels more thought-through

I wish Asciidoc(tor) footnotes were implemented better, support for outputting multiple pages was better, that Asciidoctor wasn't the elephant in the room and non-standard, and that editors actually existed, tho

Proud of you, swole husband

It's just a failure of imagination. We have an opportunity to invent a whole new, impossible way for speech to sound, to bring something new into the world, and we're just like "nah"

I’m Tired of Talking About AI I don’t want to talk about LLMs anymore.

I turned 35 today, so I'm giving myself a gift.

I'm absolving myself of having to think about AI anymore. And I finally wrote about it somewhere durable to free myself from feeling like I need to keep reiterating my position.

I don't think I've said it yet so I'll say it now: I really enjoyed Long Live Evil and am glad you wrote it, it's a Very Good Book

Wait you can't just say it's easy for you to pick a favorite book you wrote and then not tell us what it is!

Does preordering All Hail Chaos help?

I'd love to see @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social do more with In Other Lands

I could also be misremembering things.

I could've sworn John Oliver mentioned this

... is it streaming somewhere I can buy it, tho? Or is there a physical copy I can buy? I would like to see it!

I can't stop in the middle of a series or I forget everything that's happened, so I either read everything back to back or I abandon things 😭

Having read all 9 of the released books, I can confirm I did, in fact, Like Them! Can't wait for the next one to come out.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to understand the genre of story Jack of Thorns is, but can confirm I liked it and am moving on to Knight of Flames!

I have been trying to figure out macarons and just got gifted a cookbook of Mexican desserts, so, uh, RIP to you I guess

Wait, am I reading this right that KD can be sent baked goods

Asking for a friend

Lmfao, mood.

Wild! Looking forward to reading it.

Am I reading this right that the first book is free on Google Play???

Why is the first book free on Google Play? 🤯

I will personally send you a gift card to Powell's for the exact price of In Other Lands if you'll read it, everyone should read it, it's an excellent sword gays book.

@kdedwardsnc.bsky.social just a heads up: the CAPTCHA on your site is broken so nobody can contact you through it. I wrote a letter to the PO box, but I imagine you're busy and don't check it too frequently. Excited to hear you're exploring doing more with your blog, though! I love blogs.
