Now I need to get on Bluesky (since David Troupes isn't on here -- yet, so be nice) and do that @elizayer thing. What ElizAyer thing? Oh, goodness, do I have a page for you!!
"Here are [..] reasons that radiating intent is better than begging forgiveness:
Radiating intent gives a chance for someone to stop you before you do a thing, in case it's truly harmful
Radiating intent gives people who have information, or want to help, an opening to participate
Radiating intent leaves better evidence of your good will"

But also… we might consider how we use “opinions”…
Like, I have insights, observations, experience, but you! You have opinions.
jk jk I have opinions. You have insights.
But seriously though. “Opinions” is loaded. And that’s ok, if I’m reminding myself to be humble, to seek to verify, to probe and test.
