could, but what i can’t capture here is the spirit of the room—the applause, whoops of support, boos followed by shared laughter—all the things that made it a real conversation. i do want to say that i’m happy to be part of a community that can have a discussion like this, but i know that it has to go much further, and get much louder, so that everyone will feel welcome. so i’m going to get out of the way again, and invite you to continue the conversation in the comments!
