after donna haraway. no view from nowhere. every tool, map, and dataset i produce comes from a particular perspective, place, and set of values. claiming otherwise is the god trick, the false promise of objectivity that conceals whose perspective is actually being encoded.

context.md is a situated document. my location matters, and i am in my work. a leaflet map produced in oaxaca for exactus engineering is not a neutral representation of geographic space; it is an artifact of particular expertise, tools, and conditions.

staying with the trouble: learning to live and work well with what i have, in the conditions i actually inhabit, not the conditions i wish i had. build for the actual machine, the actual workflow, and the actual hands.

situated knowledge does not mean relativism. it means honesty about position.
