YOU decide YOUR identity for yourself & not others: No one gets to decide, label, or pass judgment on another’s identity - people get to decide for themselves what their identity is (esp. given complexities and layers & layers of culture and history)
No ad hominem attacks or bad faith b.s.: We welcome thoughtful, respectful discussion and good-faith debate — NO personal or categorical attacks! No labeling, no passing judgment on others, no killing vibes. Please include, not exclude!
No self promotion or stumping but sharing ok: Please don’t come up on stage to peddle your product or service. But do of course share resources pertinent to topic & listeners; what you’re working on or doing as relevant; and other useful context.
