Most of us have had contact or engaged in gossip at some moment in our lives. Historically, this behavior has been a valuable tool in determining who belongs and what rules we follow as a network, social group, or even as a society. What does this mean for our current intersectional spaces? How do we acknowledge the power of gossip in the midst of our political movements? Who do we include? What rules do we make for each other? Should we make any rules at all?
