It has always, and always will, take effort and energy to have faith in humanity. Some do the work, others do not. Also, fwiw, AI does *not* do the work.

I am downright lifted and energized after a few days of @humanrestorationproject.orgs Conference to Restore Humanity. I am not overstating when I say it has lifted me out of a funk of despair. Thank you (though I was nervous about the Medieval themes, I am so glad I got past my nerves)!

At this point it's probably obvious to state that conferences cannot do the same things they used to. I have grown weary of loads of solo keynotes with no conversations. I crave Q&As, robust panels, wicked awesome moderators, and breakout rooms (hybrid to be assumed).

This is your regular reminder: patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system of oppressions that privileges male dominance and some women benefit from it.
Feminism is not women or anything a woman does just because she's a woman. Feminism is the destruction of patriarchy.
Feminism is liberation.
