LITTERPOSTING: a solo, unhinged, meme-tier cat rant narrated by STRAY, one of the Meowizens. Not a two-actor conversation — just the cat, off its leash. Hit the button to hear it read aloud.
01:37am. corner of ninth and nowhere. the new streetlight has been following me for six blocks. it has LEGS now. this is not a metaphor and i needeveryonetostoptreatingitlike one.
NEKOCORP is calling it the SmartLume rollout. 'adaptivemunicipallighting.' adaptive to WHAT. itcrossed the street to stay with me. it waited outside the fish market. my commute is a data product now and the light is the free trial that follows you home.

tried to lose it in the drainage alley. it just posted up at the entrance all polite, humming,dimmed to 40% to conservelumens. a stalker with a power budget. corpo cuck behavior in its purest recorded form, i almost respected the commitment.
SHADE walked past one earlier and the thing rebooted on the spot. could not perceive him. had a whole firmware crisis about it, right there in the street. based beyond measurement.theycannot repossess what they cannot render — write that down, kittens.

and the patrol drones are JEALOUS now, that's the funniest shit i've seen all week — rotors circling my SmartLume like 'hey. that's OURstray to watch.' two branches of the same surveillance departmentfightingfor custody of me. flattering. horrifying. mostlyflattering.

but hear me, because ts came to me under a flickering bulbandi believe it completely: a city that pays money to watch a stray sleep is a city that is afraid of what the stray dreams about. surveillance is just fear with a utilities bill. they light the streets because the dark belongs to us and they fuckingknow it. anyway. my paw itches.
resistance meeting is relocating directly under my streetlight, by the way. freelighting, courtesy of the enemy. NEKOCORP illuminating its own downfall and billing itself for the lumens. HOLY CAT PISS the empire really does file its own paperwork.

...picking through the neon rain...
still walking. light's still following. eleven blocks now. at this point we'rebasically going steady, and i want it to know something: keep watching. take notes. tell your bosses everything you see. it's all gonna read like a warning label in hindsight.
