My thoughts about thread:

– Thread can change the value of things, turning the useful into futile, and futile into useful

– Thread can both collect and break up power

– Thread can represent gender and change identity

– Thread is both real and imaginary

– Thread is sensitive and sharp

– Thread is a process, something you go through
