🙌 March is the month for us
If you didn't get ambushed by Yellowface last year in every bookstore you walked into, this is your surprise attack reminder that it's a great, short read to pick up! I finished the audiobook on my flight from Vancouver-London, but it would've been probably less than one week's worth of tube rides otherwise 🐱 TL;DR Asian prodigy writer dies suddenly. White "friend" publishes her manuscript under a lightly altered identity. Publishing chaos and drama ensue. Stabs at racism and tokenism, with a peek into how the traditional publishing industry operates.
The best way to prime yourself for writing is reading. Deep read until you're aching to write 🧠
Super networks allow us to foster a truly open internet of ideas. Looking forward to building together in 2024! 💚

Did somebody mention "Points"? Meet **Time Points (t.p.),** the t2 native unit of account for meaningful interactions between readers and writers. Instead of holding your attention hostage, on t2, you're rewarded for reading through the accumulation of t.p. Over time, the total number of t.p. can serve as an indicator of contribution, reputation, and quality. Currently, there are **2** ways to receive t.p.: **Reading:** deep-read content on t2. Every minute of deep reading counts! **Writing:** create content that leads to deep reading by others. When readers read, the writer's t.p. grows. In the future, there will be more ways for users to earn t.p. through various meaningful interactions. Currently, the primary way to use t.p. is to deposit it to join Territories. This is similar to checking in at a hotel, instead of money, you put your reputation accumulated on the line (represented by t.p.) to ensure a safe participation environment in the Territory. 🌟 **Start accumulating your t.p. today,** activate your t2 account using your @lens/lensprotocol handles at http://app.t2.world/t2xlens
