I‘m glad to have more insight into the malleability of our identities in the digital era, but probably could have used a primer first… Full review here: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/new-releases/

Binary gender keeps us from our cosmic corporeality, that space where the body can expand and explore in the freedom of abstraction.

This digital diaspora therefore is an important component of glitch, as it means that bodies in this era of visual culture have no single destination but rather take on a distributed nature, fluidly occupying many beings, many places, all at once.

The glitch is for those selves joyfully immersed in the in-between, those who have traveled away from their assigned site of gendered origin.

“The glitch is an activist prayer, a call to action, as we work toward fantastic failure, breaking free of an understanding of gender as something stationary.”

The only thing I really took from it was that the world online is also a real world and the significance of AFK instead of IRL. However, I feel like this can be used as a good starting point if you want to learn more about glitch feminism. Shouldn‘t be read on a kindle though.
