@jochenwolters If I thought there were enough book buyers, I’d write a manual. It’s a very handy app. Transformed how I was building websites.

@PenguinToot I used Facebook and Threads for marketing. I had first deleted Facebook many years ago. I only set one up again to promote my comics-history book—there are some book comics-fan groups on Facebook that aren't replicated elsewhere. (Older folks don't use Discourse.)

@evoterra Views aren’t worth much at all. Most advertising is tracked objectives (purchases, clickthroughs, sign ups) as far as I understand the value.

@joesteel Whew. What a madness this all is. I hope people are being kind. I'm seeing even left-wing “well, they live in California" stuff (limited). But none of us is magically in the right place (cf., North Carolina).
We live near an active volcano, and there's no true plan for what happens if a regular event, overdue, were to occur.

Will new tariffs doom my books to languish in a (very clean, well-lit, and well-run) warehouse in Vancouver, B.C.? You can help…if you would like a discount on my latest book, which was printed and is fulfilled from Canada! 🇨🇦

@wassilywabbit In a Doctor Strange sort of “predicting all outcomes” setup, it seems like the Sisko was the only path they found and only if he picked up what they laid down? Like, there was clearly a possibility of failure even with their non-linear time consciousness?

As I think about DS9, it seems like the entire setup of the show is that the Prophets knew they would need a defender against the Pah-Wraiths, so they just used time and space to create one. (And, unlike most Chosen Ones, they had a plan that he would just become one of them instead of being discarded.)
Doesn’t that make Jake 1/4 Prophet? Was that NEVER discussed? Does that explain the episode in which he changes 70 years of history?
