.@GreggorMattson Q&A: small-city gay bars imagine #urban gay bars as suit bar + leather bar + #lesbian bar >> to me (@jgieseking) shows typology of how we configure queerness :: but WHY = @jswab_geog and I discuss this a lot we Damron-->Grindr vs lez guides-->apps #diggeog
.@KishonnaGray "space is not a passive backup but constantly produced" = I knew you were a geographer at heart too #Blackgeog #diggeog #queergeog #transgeog #critgeog #dighum // cc @dhcaucus for thread
.@KishonnaGray digital spaces highlight the precarity of spaces of #Blackwomen even as they renegotiate public/private of physical and digital spaces #diggeog #critgeog = "intersectional formations of transmediated methods"

.@agaleszczynski responding: focus looks at ontological overdetermination of techno-capitalist takeover but technology is malleable / in excess prescripted & programmed uses >> my ques not objects but what are excesses & how to get to them? #diggeog #femgeog #critgeog
.@agaleszczynski the glitch is a "positive departure," per @LegacyRussell, that is a "correction to the 'machine' ... [of] normative and hegemonic systems" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski we need not rely on mass resistance alone for social change but can also turn to glitchy-ness, not as solution but interference, that affords other forms of capital and power in cities / advocating for tactics && strategies @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski glitchy-ness interferes in the politics of inevitable technocapitalist takeover / resist platform of #platform #urbanism >> links back to work of @ProfGillian as well as @geoplace & @TowardsFairWork Fndtn, etc @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski we need not throw out #platformurbanism or #platformcapitalism theory but an entreaty to re-theorize them as glitchy through different bodies/experiences esp, so that we can remake cities differently @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski where glitches surprise us, cause effects upon other platforms, and are absent inform empirics >> so the task before us, quoting @SaraNAhmed, to identify and take action @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 3rd glitch as absence (cont.): platform city interface is not fully engineered / designed by capitalist entities but we are part of assembling through open, use, pay w app @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 3rd glitch as absence: Vanc as ridehail-less city = momentary disappoint of no Uber app (material/affective) did not make me use competing app (bc effort of new app/signup) but to use existing public transit (which knoe well) @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 2nd glitch as casualty: #deleteUber campaign w 1st socmed campaign re surge charges of opportunism when access blocked >> think of platform (Uber) becomes undone by rise/effect of other app/action (Twitter/protest) @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski 1st glitch as surprise bc platform made visible: #sidewalkToronto that "Sidewalk Labs 'hadn't foreseen' data concerns' of dataveillance of neighborhood, "passion Canadians have for data residency" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog...
.@agaleszczynski glitch is also an ethos of attunement in #platformurbanism where they cannot be smooothed out / "fixed" to fit corp/neolib desires >> offers three glitches, starting with #sidewalkToronto @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski builds from @LegacyRussell's use of the "glitch" from #glitchfeminism: where the error "may not be an error" but opens possibility for change >> AL sees this as epistemological endpoint where can shift away from dystopian endpt @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski quotes @_sarahbarns responses "to new configuration btw people, networks, & urban infrastructures resulting in real-time, ubiquitous technologies and platforms" >> city becomes contemp stage of neoliberalism of explaining self @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski now bringing us back to @jathansadowski & my dear friend @claudiakincaid argument "Amazon is running its own hunger games – and all the players will be losers" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog...
.@agaleszczynski referencing @n_srnck's work on #platformcapitalism as well as Rodgers & Moore whereby there is a speculative substitutions of "capitalism for urbanism" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski "while platform urbanism remains unsolidified thesis to signal governance/tech/capital shifts..." but also "increasingly advanced with platform capitalism superimposed over #urban social fabric" @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski citing #SarahBarnes, @RobKitchin, and @shannonmattern to open her talk when defining #platform #urbanism >> now moving on to def of #smartcities in relation @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski defining #PlatformUrbanism as the ways platforms & cities as increasingly shaped by other, the capital within, and the culture as well: scale, scope, ambition in and beyond material geogs alone like sensors / automated systems @ukgeog #diggeog #critgeog #femgeog
.@agaleszczynski kicking off "Glitchy Vignettes of #PlatformUrbanism" here at @ukgeog as part of our #diggeog series and @universityofky Year of Equity series. #critgeog #femgeog
