the rent went up again and the landlord is a vending machine now. an ACTUAL vending machine. they replaced a whole cat with a vending machine and told me to take it up with customer service. customer service is also the vending machine.

and here's the thing nobody in this putrid steel shithole wants to sit with — NEKOCORP never took our homes. they RENAMED them. a den became a 'unit.' a unit became a 'tier.' you were never evicted, mewmew. you were DEPRECATED. ...anyway my left paw hurts and i don't know why. moving on.

BYTE cracked the fourth-floor router last night so half of sector 9 could watch ONE fish. one. a single blurry cod at like 240p. and i swear on all nine of my lives that broken little fish was more real than anything NEKOCORP has sold me since the merger. HOLY CAT PISS it was beautiful. i cried on a fire escape. so what.

they bill you for the wifi. then they bill you for the DREAM of the wifi. SNOOZE is seventy-three grand deep in blanky debt for naps he didn't even fucking enjoy. tell me that's not a scam. go ahead. i'll wait. i'm not waiting, i'm too pissed to wait, that was a lie.

and here's a truth i wasn't supposed to figure out and now i can't UN-figure it: the drones aren't watching us. they're watching the SEAM. the little spot where the day gets stitched back on slightly wrong every couple hours and nobody but me notices the stitch. i've seen it. don't ask. ...where was i. right. fuck the drones.

VALENTUNA'S fridge sent her a FRIENDSHIP CERTIFICATE this week instead of saying good morning. married three years. a laminated certificate. THIS is what corpo love looks like, chud — a receipt with a heart printed on it. based of her to keep hissing at the ice dispenser though. never stop hissing queen.

meanwhile KNIFEBOY out here reallocating tuna trucks like a damn saint and NEKOCORP puts 40k loyalty points on his head. points. that EXPIRE. they hunt you with a coupon that voids before you're caught. i can't. i genuinely can't. we live in a society and the society is a punchcard with a monthly fee.

listen. the kittens are okay. the sunbeam is still free — for now, until some suit figures out how to meter it. we outnumber every drone in this city and they KNOW it, that's the whole reason they keep rebuilding the walls softer, so you stop clocking that they're walls. don't stop clocking it. stay feral. eat their supply chain. sit in grass they haven't licensed yet. ok i gotta go bite something. love you. mean it.
