Have you come across the idea of "ambivalence"? Here's an excerpt from a recent book "Trans Technologies" and sort of just gives a word for the ending of your video here where there's that give-and-take from the current "vanishing" question.
Excerpt from Oliver Haimson's 2025 book "Trans Technologies" discussing the idea of ambivalence: Ambivalence, as feminist theorist Clare Hemmings (2018) describes, enables us to embrace complexities and contradictions in research about gender, sexuality, and race: “In imagining that we know how to ameliorate gendered, racial, and sexual inequalities, or indeed what gender, race, and sexuality are, it is easy to miss the profound ambivalence about these terms and the inequalities or pleasures that cluster around them.” In research about gender and technology there is never only one truth, and imagining a simple orientation toward these phenomena flattens people’s experiences. Hemmings (2018) argues that ambivalence is “fundamental to both the pre-sent and the past” and that researchers must embrace uncertainty and resist the urge to resolve paradoxes. Instead, as we move toward understanding inequalities, we must let go of certainty and singularity.

@sgtmug.com kind of knocked this out of the park
Pikachu on a skateboard with a rainbow flag pikachu tail design. He's in mid-air doing a cool trick, he's focused, in his lane. Flourishing. He also has a little electricity from his cheeks. Good lad.

This image of a quote from "Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal" that @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social mentioned in The Anthropocene Reviewed has been stuck in my head, and I couldn't find it anywhere online, so I asked @yogcavey.bsky.social to re-make it! If you remember an image like this, please send it!
An Undertale textbox above a piece of pixel art. The textbox says "In the alley, there is a bright pink flower peeking out through the asphalt. It looks like: futility or hope", per the Amy Krouse Rosenthal quote. The pixel art is a pink flower peeking out through cracks in a dark brick alley.
