There are No Safe Spaces...
summary
Argues There are no safe spaces as a concrete claim and offers practices that actually change outcomes: use the implicit association test to surface bias, build small support groups that ask new members how they want to avoid harm, and train simple habits — listen, mirror what was said, and repeat back in different words. Reports that these practices produce real responses (long thoughtful replies, some bringing people to tears) and reframes success as making spaces measurably safer through sustained empathy.
