I actually had a really good week. Told a room full of industry ppl to fix their hearts or die and several of them asked "how" and listened to what i told them. Finally met @Heatherfreeman in person and we made some great plans. And told my students that they could use communal action to shift this world into better directions, as long as they were clear, intentional, and careful about the work to be done and defining what "better" means, and they believed me.

Wins on the ground don't get much more solid than that, these days.

Things can still change for the better. They absolutely can.
