Queering/Cripping Technologies of Productivity

In this paper, we contribute three design manifestos that start from our queer, crip experiences to resist dominant designs and practices of productivity. Through our manifestos, we explore tensions in glitching three technologies of productivity (Mendeley, Figma, and ChatGPT) by reorienting their intended uses and design scripts. By sharing our perspectives and design processes, we invite new ways of relating to technologies of productivity, offer design provocations for queering and cripping technologies in HCI, and call for building intersectional coalitions that contribute towards a slow, non-linear resistance.
