okay. but who is saying “visibility promotora progress” without any caveats? i hope we get more into that. because, and perhaps i’m countering experience bias with experience bias, a lot of disability inclusive spheres that i run in address that progress includes the notion that visibility is not possible or desirable for some people. and that being inclusive to them is still crucial.

"WHEN IS AN ARCHIVE A METHOD" oh, i do so love this question. bestie you are being soooooo relevant.

aaand right after i post this the author goes into experience bias (i still stand by the referencing of her experiences i think), queer methods, queering methodology, and "dyke methods." like! are you KIDDING. i'm VERY interested to learn this science.

ALSO! hoping this addresses how internalized homophobia can contribute to want/lack of want for visibility and/or unbecoming in both urban and rural spaces eventually...feels like there's some experience bias weaved into the scientific writing which like. storytelling is important! but sometimes i feel like i'm reviewing my sister's college stuff again going "cite a source," "add a sourced academic definition," etc.

feeling questionably about some science here. like...there's good points! but like...it's okay for parts of your work to end up contributing to the larger discourse without supporting your particular point. that can happen and you can address if you had shortcomings! i feel like there's a vibe that this can't be wrong. also, i feel as though there is some conflation between respectability and visibility politics.
