@tcql @tariqk Insomuch as you are what you do... there is no difference between performance and being. IDK how absolutely you should take that, but I don't think it had to be anxiety inducing if you frame it right. Like, hmm...

If what matters is the effect you have on the world, the people around you and not what's inside or your intentions... And if each act is sort of isolated in that you don't sort of score points for the future that

@tariqk @tcql lets you act one way before and later act a different way without consequence, then "performance" is just action. Which may have some effects.

On the one hand, being inconsistent (which is the real harm in performance, right?) is shitty but also deeply human. On the other hand, fake it til you make it.

Did any of that even make sense?

@tcql ha! ha ha ha! ha ha ha ha ha!
