When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

In a work email, we had a fantastic thread about the use of "stakeholder" — many collaborators have stated they do not want this term used, and scholarship has supported this.
