The thing about our public faces is it actually hurts when the people closest to us buy them.

When we fool other and get away with us, we feel estranged from our own selves. It’s good to do once in a while. But we start to lose the sense we are real. https://t.co/fTfo1HtEjC

Touch what is behind there, but also pick up what they are putting out. The space in between is where the magic happens.

There’s a failure mode where I’m so eager to validate. I buy someone’s shtick uncritically. Oh, they’re NERVOUS today. So crabby. I take their story so seriously they’re trapped in it. https://t.co/EB7egrti81

The professor could have just responded to what was presented. She could have just said “nervousness isn’t a problem.” But that’s buying into the LARP.

But there’s also a failure mode when I skip over what they’re putting down. So eager to get to what’s behind, I’m not with their little story. Their little story matters too.

If I had to stereotype it: [affirming stories too intensely] = liberal circles [ignoring little stories too callously] = hippie circles Both are coming from a place of real need. Lots of people’s stories don’t get validated. Lots of people’s stories get too easily bought.

But to be with someone through the drag of life? 💃🎭💄 That’s beautiful. I wanna learn from both groups. Pick up what they’re putting down that matters. Sift away the rest. https://t.co/fmI4ShRAut

@SarahAMcManus Where before we acted without knowing we were acting. This time we act, but with just as much heart. We saw horror movies were fake. So we could return to watching them. We saw through gender. So we could play drag.
