One suggestion I have is to experiment with social or hobby type threads once a month or so. Interacting with other commenters here usually feels like a deep and high stakes conversation, which is great, but it might be nice to interact like we're friends getting coffee every once in a while.

I'd also like to ponder over the idea of having some sort of live conversation on a topic, or at least to try it out. It could be in the form of picking one time and using Zoom breakout rooms to ensure that we discussed in smaller groups. I think it's one of those things that might be a big success or might be a flop and we might as well give it one or two tries to see how well it works.

I think you should write an Other Feminisms book!

I also like the idea of compiling a quarterly series of essays based off of the comment exchanges in the threads.

Or, alternatively - spin up an online publication (relatively easy and cheap) and you could commission writing from other authors (or, better, make it a writer owned publication!). Digital advertising could provide revenue, substack & social could feed you readers.

I also think you could be an incredible convener of thoughtful conversations between opposing activists and leaders. Perhaps each conversation would have a goal of finding 3-5 points of commonality or agreement as well > that could be the unique value of those conversations.
