I'm always open to obesrvations and this is a good one. In fact, the thought that it might be interpreted this way had been bothering me since yesterday!😄

I changed the title and cover image earlier for precisely this reason, so thanks for confirming my concerns. The "play with your toys" line wasn't directed at white people though, in fact I was thinking specifically of a few black authors when I wrote it.

It's never exhausting to engage with people who do so in good-faith. If nobody engaged, nothing would ever get better. Pleasure talking to you.
