This book gives a wonderful insight into how queer the body truly can be. Through its Deleuzian lens, Glitch Feminism offers a painting of an emerging body politic. It is an inspiring read for any digital native grasping at straws to meet an AFK manifestation of their online avatars. It blends stories of art, literature, history, philosophy, and dance to give a categorically profound picture of futuristic multitudes. I was searching for something to inspire and put into words the thoughts and feelings of the digital ether, confusion, and delusion I have felt for so long. Not only does it give the language to discuss this theory, but it also calls to action. One must extend their online selves AFK to live the multitudes one desires, and it allows to reader to feel comfortable and empowered to do so! Overall, loved this book and can't wait to pick up my copy of Legacy Russell's newest book, Black Meme.

It took me a minute to finish this (clearly). I was looking forward to its release, bought it when it came out, but was unable to finish it until now, after restarting it a few times. I feel like I need for reread it in one go in a much shorter period, but I found a lot of the glitch metaphors repetitive and didn’t go as deep as I wanted it to. That’s always what stopped me from finishing it. Still, the structure of a manifesto is interesting and the works cited grabbed my attention and provide more reading for me.

Highly quotable fourth-wave feminism that wants each of us (especially non-white, non-male bodies) to occupy digital space as a means of disrupting binary gender images and imaginaries. In order to make the body as abstract as it is before it is named and therefore controlled, glitch feminists are supposed to live in the error, the buffering that the computer needs to try and make sense of the multiple selves that we inhabit in virtuality and that are all of us at once.
You know, it's nice to say these things. It's very interesting to see how artistic practices excel in these feminist imperatives. But what am I supposed to do with it? I'm still very confused about what fourth-wave feminism means for everyday life.
