    Some days you wake up and your nose is missing. Some days you wake up and it's another fokken day of lockdown.

Texts mentioned: Simon Shepherd's "Lolo's breasts and a wooden Christ" (for the cyborg in performance theory) and Alison Adam's "Artificial Knowing: Gender and the Thinking Machine" (for the cyborgian mindfucking with the mind/body split)
