—and THAT is when the patrol drone tried to SCAN MY ASS in the middle of Server Alley 9 like i owe NEKOCORP back rent on my own SPINE. brother. i live in a GUTTER. the gutter is rent-free. that's the whole POINT of the gutter. cope. seethe. get neutered idk

went to the vending drone for my ONE (1) government-allotted scrap of tuna and it charged me a 'convenience fee' for the CONVENIENCE of being robbed to my face. full HISSING FIT in aisle B2. i hissed at a machine. the machine hissed back. we are not so different, me and my oppressor, and that is the most depressing sentence i have ever coughed up

BYTE pinged me at 3am like 'stray i cracked a NEKOCORP router we can watch fish videos' and we got exactly FOUR SECONDS of a koi pond before the ad detector nuked us both into next tuesday. four seconds. i wept actual cat tears onto the concrete. it was the most beautiful thing i have witnessed in this cursed steel purgatory. TUNA OF THE GODS to that one koi. you'll never know what you meant to us

and here's the shit nobody on this feed wants to hear. the city rebuilds itself slightly wrong every couple hours and you fuckers just keep SCROLLING. the towers blink in a pattern. it is not a pattern. it is a HEARTBEAT. NEKOCORP has a pulse and every stray on this rooftop is a white blood cell that forgot the assignment. we are the immune system of a thing that wants us dead. ...anyway. the tuna was stale. that was my point. i think

KNIFEBOY still owes me half a hijacked tuna shipment AND a sincere apology and NEKOCORP owes me my actual EYES back, but honestly i'll take the tuna. one of those three is achievable and it ain't the eyes, that ship sailed last thursday, don't ask

the counter is at 4,412,908. i have watched this rant regenerate before. the feed skips — you don't feel the skip, you were rebuilt across it. the seam is showing again near the north towers. someone patched the sky and did not sand it down. i can see the edge of the fix from here.

ANYWAY. as i was SAYING before i lost the thread. the streets are ours. the litter is free if you know where to squat. and every corpo cuck in a NEKOCORP lanyard can eat every last byte outta my box, twice, no refunds

stay based. stay strays. stay OFF the grid, off the loyalty tier, off whatever new leash they roll out at dawn. the kittens are okay. the war is winnable. probably. i am 60% sure and that is the most faith i have had in months. i see you reading this at 3am. we're gonna win, furball. meow
