:screaming:
Identity is culturally mediated and dismissing any aspect of identity as a cultural artifact misses the point of what existence within a culture means!

G'ight! :D

:continues screaming:
Cultural and metaphysical explanations of experience are non-exclusive!

...why yes okay there is a reason I have "more than one thing can be true at a time" in my bio, right.

:screaming even louder and more foxily:
Where "truth" reside depends in large part on what lens you're using to slice a problem domain, and a thing can be simultaneously true in different locations on different slices! Lenses can be chosen based both on utility and aesthetic merit! And the use of lens is extremely contextual!

:screams herself all the way into a little poststructuralist heap on the bed:

Goodnight for real y'all 💜
