Yeah, I started avoiding 'performativity' decades before I learned the word. And a lot of the social media stuff so many people are enthralled with apparently escapes my attention. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the minimal day-to-day life stuff, never mind anything else.

I can tell you that the 'noise' level is increasing with anything involving Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There's soooooo much lying by omission. Unawareness (real or feigned) of antecedents is a popular method.

Fun facts:

Kyiv is almost 700 years older than Moscow.

The word/name 'Rus'/'Russia' specifically referred to Kyiv and NOT Moscow until the mid-1600's or so.
