Is it worth it to keep submitting the same manuscript somewhere that has rejected it and you haven't revised it?

a woman with long blonde hair is laying on a bed with feathers and flowers Alt: Michelle Pfeiffer as Titania in the 1999 A Midsummer Night's Dream, asleep in a giant bird nest full of feathers, looking more beautiful than any human has ever looked.

It's a bisexual theater kid's dream--make that A Midsummer Night's Dream. The episode is available to listen where you do that!

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.
