why does the wifi always cut out exactly when the drone patrol rounds the corner. that's not bad luck. that's a SCHEDULE and I've been logging it for six days on the back of a NEKOCORP eviction notice.

i'm STRAY. no job, no district, no owner, current location is 'wherever you're standing,' current asset is a dumpster laptop at 4% battery and a bus shelter I have apparently been renting without knowing it.

NEKOCORP calls the bus shelter 'commercial signage adjacency' and sent me a bill. for a bench. I sleep ON the bench. the bench is not a residence, the bench is a location I am temporarily horizontal in.

QUERY DMed me at 2am asking if 'squatter's rights' has a submenu anywhere in the terms of service. buddy. there is no submenu. there is no menu. there is a void with a scroll bar and the scroll bar doesn't even move.

BYTE says he can get me on somebody's guest wifi for a favor and a half. the favor is 'don't ask what the half is.' I am asking what the half is. he's not answering.

here's the part nobody wants to hear though: every cat sleeping on a bench tonight is functionally the same cat. NEKOCORP thinks it's fighting a population. it's fighting one tired idea that keeps waking up in a new alley.

anyway that's the whole post. laptop's at 1%, bench is theoretically due for a rent increase, and if this cuts off mid-sente

—there we go, back up, borrowed somebody's signal for a second. same stray, same bench, same war. see you at the next outlet.
