I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.
People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

Even worse when you find out Middlebury College had another death of a trans student in 2023, then hosted an anti-trans talk last winter, before kicking Lia off of both her teams this fall.

Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon.
This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.

More details: ICE goons were turned away at HD Cooke. They tried to seize the school nurse in the parking lot without a warrant, but backed off after staff intervened.
