By USP, I mean "unique selling point." For example, this from @emilyrinkema.bsky.social feels so original in terms of scenario: variantlit.com/the-interview/ As does this by @beekaekae.bsky.social: newflashfiction.com/revision/ And this from Ani Banerjee: swamp-pink.charleston.edu/featured/baby/

There is no evidence that arming teachers reduces gun violence in our schools—it’s ineffective and introduces new dangers. We need research-backed, comprehensive solutions that prevent gun violence to keep our schools safe.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.
