AFK: a new SPAM reading series at The Doublet, Glasgow ⌨️💋👾

‘I’ll generally be AFK (away from keyboard), though I plan on hitting an Internet cafe on Thursday’, said a random gamer about twenty years ago. In Glitch Feminism (2020), Legacy Russell argues that there is no longer an IRL, but instead the better acronym for offline life is AFK with ‘one continuous self…in a continual narrative of daily living and human existence.’

...& so we present in-person AFK readings as part of a new series in collaboration with The Doublet, free and open to all, with SPAM writers both old and new! ft. a hand made pamphlet available with the readers’ work on the night.

We're BACK for the fourth instalment of AFK! This sumptuous lineup is coming to @thedoubletbar on 27th July (a week today). 👋

Free entry. Doors at 6:30pm for 7pm sharp start.

The poets:

• Eloise Birthwhistle @el_birt
• Parel Joy @pareljoy
• M. Elizabeth Scott @m.elizabeth.scott
• Isaac Harris @iziccc

Takes place in upstairs bar, which is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
