I KNOW Tammy means it ‘the good way.’

I *loved* your talk–can I read it? And do you agree it relates to the “performativity” stuff? (And I beg your forgiveness if you addressed this in the text. I was running on 30% battery power.) (And NO that’s not a joke about the powerpoint snafoo.)

“Um, one more note_to_self: think about the translation or transmogrification of objects through decay as a sociological process.”

That reminds me of this:

which contains the salient line:
“But it is also worth remembering that London is sinking – indeed, the whole of southeast England is sinking – roughly 8″ every century. That may not sound like much, but there are 10,000 centuries in a million years; so, providing such a rate remains constant, London – amazingly, sadly, absurdly, excitingly – will be more than 6500-feet below ground, buried more than a mile in the muck and clay.”
