“I want to pay more than lip service to things like non-harming, contentment, inclusion, and peace. Even more so, I want to really be clear on the things I see get really obfuscated (looking squarely at my colleagues rn tbh): autonomy, personal agency, consent, and agency. This goes beyond “memorizing the sequence” and requires looking at our speech, beliefs and presentation.

I think things like personal agency and autonomy are often being limited by action if not word. I’ve seen authoritarianism and group-think arise in spaces, often the end result being spaces that present an exclusivity. There are ways around this trap, but it requires confronting the issues head on. ”
