To be performative does not just mean you are performing. It means that you are performing for the sake of performance, out of artistic or dramatic expression. When we say a political act is performative we are saying it has no policy impact, and was just done for the sake of drama or theater.
As someone who has written a little about performance and legislative politics, I am begging people to stop using "performative" pejoratively. Politics *is* performance. All human interaction is performance.

I want to live in a more empathetic world. Artists regularly use their work to tell us that they are unwell or in need of support, and because of capitalism it often goes ignored. Especially if the art makes money.

Fourth Wing was pop fiction so I never expected literary masterpieces out of the sequels, but Onyx Storm is just hot garbage. Who let Rebecca Yarrow release this mess?

When it comes to romantic and sexual relationships I can be so damn shallow, and despite recognizing that and how it harms me, I have put 0 effort into changing that about myself.

I really gotta find a new therapist.

FUCK DEMOCRATS' DONORS!! Every move the party establishment isn't taking seems liked to them listening to and trying to engage mystery "donors".

On days like this, I'm grateful my ancestors blessed me with R&B.

After 8 months of unemployment I was worried it would be hard for me to be motivated to do work tasks and that I'd struggle waking up and going into the office.

I'm honestly doing fine though! ☺️

I don't know which non-profit leader needs to hear this, but consultants cannot substitute your lack of competency in a core aspect of your role.

The product or service the consultants deliver will be a reflection of your ability to supervise and coach them toward success.

As counterintuitive as it seems, your parents are holding you back. Abandon them.

Being back in Chicago feels a lot like returning to my life. Like my entire time in Detroit was a detour.
