"Pigeons: The Outdated Cellphone of the Animal World." by Bethany Brookshire
Pigeons are not rats with wings. They are our unfairly maligned former besties who we are now dissing in the group chat for their mere existence. Find out how they got that way and why they deserve a lot more love.

"Love: An (Often Queer) History of a Four-Letter Word" by Diva Darling
Authentic, liberated love is one of the most powerful acts of resistance humans have had throughout history. Let’s take a journey through time to explore the tension between state-sanctioned intimate relationships and the ungovernable ways that people actually love. Learn how the “Loneliness Epidemic” can be traced back to antiquity, and how the liberation of love can help us fight back against those who profit off our loneliness.

"Bonobos, Babes, and the Matriarchal Ape Escape: How Sex and Sisterhood Keep the Peace." by Laura Darby
Bonobos make love, not war—literally. This talk explores how our matriarchal ape cousins use sex and sisterhood to keep the peace, challenge dominance, and offer a surprisingly fun alternative to human hierarchy.
