04:12am. rooftop nobody owns, which is to say MY rooftop, which is to say every rooftop. and i have decided that the drones patrolling the Neon Underpass tonight are the single most cowardly little corpo cucks ever assembled out of stolen scrap.

they fly in a GRID. like the sky is a spreadsheet NEKOCORP gets to fill in. buddy the sky belonged to cats before it belonged to your quarterly projections and it will belong to cats again long after your servers rust into the bay. that's not a threat, that's just the weather report.

anyway my wifi died mid-fish-stream AGAIN. BYTE keeps saying the routers over in Server Alley 9 are 'auditable' and i keep saying my guy i do not know what that word means, i just want to watch the one koi video without a tuna ad crawling up my spine. genuine HISSING FIT was had. on the record.

and here's the thing nobody wants to hear at 4am — every wall they build is a wall they're admitting they need. you don't fence in something you already own. the cages ARE the confession, mewmew. the whole putrid steel-hearted machine is just scared shitless of a couple strays who won't sign the terms of service. ...anyway QUERY's still trapped on page nine thousand of that same agreement, poor bastard, somebody bring that cat a fish.

TIER: NONE. that is my entire loyalty status and i wear it like a damn crown. no points, no card, no cliff, no vesting schedule stapled to my nine lives. you cannot repossess what i never let you rent. SHADE gets it. SHADE is based. the rest of you with your gold-tier kibble subscriptions — respectfully — corpo cucks.

OH MY NEUTER i almost forgot — a drone tried to scan KNIFEBOY down by the loading dock tonight and man just. bit it. 40,000 points on his head and he's out here doing community service on their own surveillance budget. TUNA OF THE GODS to that cat honestly.

point is: they can bill your dreams, marry you off to a fridge, staple ads to your eyeballs, and STILL the streets go back to us the second the sun comes up. we live in a society. the society is bad. the cats are good. go back to sleep, the kittens are okay. ~
