RE: Ryan's

 What is a list like ~empyre~ if it isn't a  
conversation that ultimately and necessarily depends on people who are  
active in things outside of it?


Yes, that's what it does. Loop back to Cara's quote, suggesting 'identity' as a path dynamic. 


Community does not have to mean homogeneity. Enabling communication
across a grouping of people, within which their common opposition to a larger power
can be spoken and agreed to, can draw commonality across them. An identity as a 
path along which they might overcome a subjection, exclusion, or historical ways
in which they?d been divided, racialized or gendered into antagonistic and alienated
positions.
