Deb Brown of SaveYour.Town called Embracing the Local “required reading.” This feels like a clerical error, but she put it in writing, on her own website, so I’ll just be over here gobsmacked. #booksky

Embracing the Local - Building Possibility

A few days ago, this Malebranche quote was all I could think about. I kept thinking. I got angrier. I wrote.

The habits we all picked up in middle school now get mistaken for signs that AI wrote the sentence. Here’s what “using AI” actually means in my practice, and why the more interesting debate is where each of us draws the line.

“In places where witches are burned, one sees nothing else, because in places where they are condemned to the fire, people truly believe that they are witches, and this belief is strengthened by the things people say about them.” - Nicolas Malebranche, The Search After Truth, Book III, Chapter VI.

The idea that anyone should be able to look anything up, for free, is at least as old as the Enlightenment. It has a building in your town and a card in your wallet. September is National #LibraryCardSignUpMonth. Build more libraries than data centers.

I meant to give away 56 advance copies of my book on StoryGraph for my birthday month. Happy 56th to me. 🎂🎉 Except I accidentally set the giveaway to 100. So 44 additional readers are getting a copy because apparently I’m better at my day job than I am at marketing a book. 📉 #BookSky

The bio mentions Ellie, Radar, and Izzy, so I suppose further introductions are required. Here’s the crew, doing what they do at rest and under less controlled conditions.

Bonjour, Bluesky. I’m brand new here. I moved to a small California mountain town, accidentally became Chamber president, wrote a memoir about it, then spun up a tiny indie press to publish the damn thing. Looking for my community: writers, readers & indie publishers 👋 #BookSky #WritingCommunity
