Oh, come the fuck on!

Dear Bloomsbury (and anybody else in publishing who didn't get this memo):

Let's just put it out there right now: When your protagonist is a mixed race child with curly hair and dark skin, putting a WHITE CHILD on the cover to sell copies? NOT FUCKING OKAY.

The message you are sending to other mixed race kids and minorities? NOT OKAY.

Not letting the author chose what face her book presents to the world. Say it with me now... NOT OKAY!

Holy baby Jesus that's a lot of fail.

I couldn't even wait until morning to get it out of my system, because I don't like things fucking with my sleep patterns.

No love,
Somebody who really wants to buy that damn book but just can't bring herself to give you any more of her hard earned money.

Excuse me I must go decompress by finally listening to thisisbone and thefourthvine and watching Fast & Furious. And to not completely bring everybody's mood down, um, shit, I had some good news somewhere...oh, yes, Happy Birthday to random_flores, you are an awesome friend.
