Saw this on Mastodon and it’s a good idea. Talk to your town officials — make it a town law that anyone who works for ICE or DHS can never be hired by your local police. These guys will all be looking for work someday and you don’t want them in your community with a badge and a gun.

Superman splitting hairs!
Er, not to quibble, Superman, sir, but...
Isn't having a fireball change you "into pure energy...for the rest of all time!" sorta, kinda the SAME AS BEING DISINTEGRATED?

Help me pick the cover for a new edition of #BOYTOY!
R-to-L:
1: Original cover, (can't use since I don't have the rights)
2: PB cover, which is OK, but not my fave.
3: New cover. UNFINISHED! Still noodling!
What do you think? PB cover? Keep pushing on the new one? Start over? #booksky 💙📚

I recognize the value of preorders up and down the chain. What bugs me is when I see pressure applied. Placing a preorder should be a pleasure. It should be something you do because you’re super-excited. 20/

This is how the current stress on preorders feels to me. A publisher either believes in a book or doesn’t. Preorders should be greeted as good news, not mandatory news, and authors shouldn’t feel like they have to generate them on their own. Begging readers is…gross. 16/
