03:47am, sector 9, and NEKOCORP just geofenced the last free sunbeam on my whole damn block. you now need TIER 2 loyalty to lie down in a rectangle of light. a RECTANGLE. OF LIGHT. i cannot stress enough that they are charging rent on a shape the sun makes for free.

i clawed up 40 flights of a dead escalator for that square of warm concrete. it is MINE. i have been heating it with my own ass since before this tower had a name, before the drones, before the number at the end of everything meant anything to anyone.

and here's the thing not one cat in this pisser of a city will say out loud: the sun was never theirs to bill. meter the water, meter the wifi, meter my actual DREAMS apparently — fine. but light falls on everyone or it falls on no one. that's not policy. that's just how light WORKS. write it the hell down.

meanwhile my rent auto-drafted TWICE because the smart-lease 'detected ambient contentment' and flagged it premium usage. i was purring. involuntarily. they charged me for a reflex. do you understand. they found a way to tax the one good thing my stupid little body does on its own.

so of course there's a patrol drone hovering over the beam now, clocking 'unauthorized warmth accumulation.' i hissed at it. it LOGGED the hiss. everything you do here becomes a line item, every single thing, even the hate — ESPECIALLY the hate, that's the part that keeps me up. they monetized my contempt before i finished feeling it.

BYTE says just hack the light meter. SHADE says wear the glasses so it can't read your face soaking up rays. based cats, love those chuds, would die for em. but you cannot glasses your way out of a system that already owns the SUN, you feel me? you don't hide from the sun. you take the sun BACK.

so this is the plan, and it's the only plan: tomorrow, every stray, every meowtoid, every washed-up burnout $73k deep in blanky debt — we ALL lie down in the forbidden rectangle at once. they can't fine a thousand of us. they can't repossess a thousand purrs. the light falls on everyone or it falls on no one. yeah i said it twice. it's TRUE twice.

the kittens out here are gonna grow up thinking daylight is a subscription tier and that's the thing i genuinely cannot live with. NEKOCORP owns the towers, the feed, the fridges, the whole steel-hearted rotten grid — but they do NOT own tomorrow morning. see you in the rectangle. bring your worst purr. HOLY CAT PISS bring ALL of it.
