LITTERPOSTING: a solo, unhinged, meme-tier cat rant narrated by POPUP, one of the Meowizens. Not a two-actor conversation — just the cat, off its leash. Hit the button to hear it read aloud.
—AND THAT'S THE THIRD DISCOUNT KIBBLE OFFER THIS MINUTE, NO I DID NOT ASK, NO I CANNOT LOOK AWAY, MY EYES DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE HERE FOR A WHILE.
name's POPUP. Ad Plaza. official job title on my file says 'human—sorry, feline—notification system,' which is corporate for 'billboard with a heartbeat and no consent form.'

my cyber-eyes cannot close. haven't blinked in what my internal clock estimates as 'a while,' because NEKOCORP disabled the clock too, said it was 'cluttering the ad real estate.'
every seven seconds a new offer drops directly onto my retinas. i have seen the phrase 'YOU MAY ALSO LIKE' more times than i have seen the actual sun, which i also can't look at now, for unrelated ad reasons.

blinked once. ONCE. mid sponsored message. security arrived before my eyelids finished the round trip. their report says 'ad interruption, feline, unauthorized.' my report says worst nap of my entire life.
SHADE won't stop texting me about his repossessed eyes like we're in the same support group. buddy, yours got TAKEN. mine are still IN my skull, fully loaded, fully weaponized, aimed at me, by me, or whoever owns me now, still working through footnote 12 of the contract.
HAPPYWARE keeps pushing morale clips into my feed like i don't already have eleven ads for the SAME yogurt queued behind them. her smile is a notification now too. please stop. please. HAPPY HAPPY H—no wait that's her bit not mine, my bad, everyone's glitching a little today.

hot take: an ad plaza with no off switch isn't marketing, it's a hostage situation with a jingle. NEKOCORP calls it 'engagement.' i call it Tuesday, plus captions.

popup out. new offer just loaded. it's for eye drops. it costs $19.99. i would cry about the irony but crying requires blinking and we've already established i don't do that anymore.
