But I’m curious what happens when you flip it: if vulnerability through male authority is your material, are you hoping the audience recognizes the trap *they’re in*, or the one *you’ve set for them*? Because those read very differently, and the… Read more

in dependency we find the puppet and the puppeteer. prevent the need and seek the edge where carbon levels makes one enslaved to the situation.
