    and a few choice quotes:

    from Kali:
    "Choice is what makes something inherently feminist."

    "anytime someone makes a choice based on their own desires, that is inherently powerful, regardless of what their desires are."

    "internal power is more about how you feel about your choices than about how other people are going to receive your power."

    "I feel powerful knowing that I am living by my values."

    "Privilege must speak to privilege."

    "Use your power appropriate ways in your life and then start to use your power to lift others up as well."

    "Our confidence should fit us, rather than us fitting our idea of confidence."

    and one from Leela: "Your privilege doesn't make you horrible, it makes you powerful. Let's talk about how claiming your privilege and understanding your privilege puts you in a position to change the world."

    We mentioned

    Herb Kohl: I Won't Learn From You

    a couple of quotes:

    "the only way to show them that you have the support is to provide it. Ongoing."
    "the bulk of the people I want to serve are going to be the least convenient people"

    Note from Leela: Our transcript support and cleanup person messaged me with a concern about my statement about not "deserving" love. To clarify: I'm not talking about "you are [xyz characteristic] so you don't deserve love." I'm talking about love is too big to be deserved, it's a grace and a gift. You can't be good enough to deserve it or bad enough to not deserve it, nothing you do makes you more or less deserving of love. It's too vast for human behavior to create or destroy the space for it. If you are offered love, you can be glad to have it, or not. That's it.
