The harvest time should be a yearly reminder, that 'enough' and 'too much' can also apply to good things. What's something good you have too much of?

Not all men, just enough to have negatively affected practically every woman. Men, you need to talk to your friends, and I don't mean locker talk. Men, you need to talk to your sons. Not to tell your daughters to stay safe, but to teach your sons to be safe.

if there is one graphic I could get people who are trying to get folks to take any kinds of political action to look at, it's this one. if the goal is action, and you are cultivating feelings in the left hand column with your messaging, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
inertia is overcome by urgency
apathy is overcome by anger
fear is overcome by hope
isolation is overcome by solidarity
self-doubt is overcome by proof of agency
