all action is performative. all choices are conscious. go read some mauss.

i just want to make one thing perfectly clear

(even though i have done so before)

spellings are results of specific histories. however, language is alive, and using a descriptive approach to it is often more productive than a prescriptive approach. besides, insistence upon correct spelling just feeds the bourgeois neoliberal heteronormative patriarchal universe of discourse to which i do not subscribe.

thus, comments upon my spelling choices are unproductive and will be rejected.
