I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

rather than discursively *active* and communicated through complex structural cues that are unevenly reproduced by discursive subjects. discourse does stuff! that's the *point*! making a statement is an *action* that obviously does more than just communicate, it organizes and expresses solidarity!

it's the same shit that made ppl think butler's assessment that "gender is performative" meant it was fake, meaningless and the product of oppressive patriarchal fancy

as a person who has studied discursive theory it is very very annoying to me that ppl have come to think "performative" means "shallow, posturing, devoid of political substance"

Kala 🦕 @kalasaurus.bsky.social · 2d

I sometimes see people dismissing the No Kings protests as performative.

Protesting *is* inherently performative. It's unity in the face of injustice, to inspire more people to notice and join. That leads to change.

It *is* brave to protest under a government that attacks dissenting speech.

I think Nathan Cofnas only ended up at Cambridge because the admin went for ‘conservative DEI’ one time and they bought off more than they could chew when it turned out he wouldn’t stop popping off about how he thinks all Black people are mentally deficient, permanently staining their reputation

This does seem pretty true to me. You often see people post things like "millennials and Gen Xers have no idea what's coming with Gen Z's insane culture and absurd humor!" but then you talk to Zoomers and they're all listening to and watching and reading the same stuff.

Tyler the Creator on whether youth culture still exists. I don't know if this is completely true, but it does seem more true today than in the past.

Excerpt reads: "Perhaps it’s this particular admixture of openness and mystique that accounts for the diversity and devotion of his fans. It’s rare for an artist 15 years into his career to be at the peak of his popularity, but here he is — and today, Tyler’s fans range from middle schoolers to baby boomers. That’s a testament to his appeal, though he has his own theory. “I don’t know if youth culture exists anymore,” he says. “I think a 42-year-old and a 15-year-old could have the same humor and style.” He thinks back on himself as a teen, caught up in “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” (2007), a song that many older hip-hop heads despised. (At the time, Ice-T said that the song “single-handedly killed hip-hop.”) “And now,” Tyler adds, “it’s like, people be on Twitter, 25 years’ age difference, talking about the same thing.”"

The excerpt is from a New York Times Style Magazine feature on Tyler the Creator, titled "Tyler, the Creator Always Does Things His Way"

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
