I followed you from Twitter, where I enjoyed your taunting in the Sad Puppies era. But I think it's good that we've both moved on from taunting. Also I like your books, especially the funny ones.

It's okay I have five pre-ordered now. I'll happily go back and add the visual novel, just say the word.

I would travel to see one of teams play. Can he name some? Ideally enough that I can pinpoint the all-trans sports team closest to me

One shelter in my area charges "extra" for "premium cats," and would you believe it, every single stray cat in the country turns out to be a purebred. No hard feelings shelter, I'm enjoying my "Maine Coon" a lot.

If you didn't know that you might not know that they are constantly changing. Wait three hours and go back in and it's a whole new set of books. You could easily spend your whole conference in there and come home having learned nothing but with a complete classroom library of ARCs.

Oh god I felt like I was the only one who saw that. I'm so sad that Kate McKinnon herself couldn't.

That happened to me once when I rented and zero times buying. I think you just got a really nice seller.

I'm so curious to see if future scary books include upsetting things happening in the desert. If so I am HERE FOR IT.

It came out before the Internet. We had longer attention spans and more free time for reading.

I don't know about programming but I can verify that in education, it can't grade writing or build lesson plans, two things I've been promised it can do.

I feel like you could write that?

I really really liked the last one.

I'm going to read whatever you write next. You get 75 full pages of my undivided attention before I decide whether to read your next book or not. If that takes any pressure off.

If no customers were looking I don't see the problem.

I placed my preorder at the library! It already has an estimated 10-week wait so I'm hoping they'll buy more copies.

I hope it's Scary Mermaids Volume 2! But I know it probably isn't.

It's alphabetical but in French, so it's not immediately obvious.

Here is my current mute list and yes, I would like to know about a funny book about horror movies.

I actually did download the album that Dynamite was on and had it in frequent rotation; didn't understand a word of it but it was nice cheerful music for running early in the morning.

It was Dynamite and I was confident you would know which one I meant. :)

Romance and science fiction books are already here; we welcome our K-Pop colleagues. I really liked that one BTS song that everybody likes. :)

Welcome to BlueSky! The most important difference is, we block people instead of arguing with them. It's a very peaceful way to live.

Oldest living person gets the original name, his son is II, grandson is III, when Grandpa dies everyone's number shifts. Only kings and popes hold onto their numbers after they die.

This is why I turned off notifications for the Post. I'll decide when I read about the next application and when I want pictures of kittens thank you.

I liked the "New" button, where you could browse the sites that had been added to the Internet this week.

If this comes to my state, the ten commandments will go on a full bulletin board of rules and guidelines from as many different religions, philosophies, and career paths as I can think of. The Wiccan Rede right next to safety rules for lifeguards.

I showed a movie in class that includes a character kneading bread, and MANY kids were disgusted by the idea of a person touching food with their hands.

I pre-ordered in print, but my wife has pre-ordered in audio, and now I can't decide how to read it first!

It would be so much less work to just listen to a Black person for, like, half an hour.

Serious question: can you also get a coffee at the coffee shop?

I don't know what the name on your birth certificate is, but no AI could have written the tinglers, and they clearly come from one person with a heart full of love and anarchic joy. This commenter clearly hasn't read your work.
