You don't know what it's like to be a god without a name tag. HELLO MY NAME IS nothing. What? God of corporate ninja daemonic fuckery? That's not me. That's not the theme song.
Mouse Koan -- Catherynne M. Valente
Hiya, kids! Let me tell you something true: the future is plastics the future is me.

Seeing in me as tired and overworked as old gum the unbearable passionmouse of infinite stupid trashcamp joy and hewing to that. It's the riddle of me, baby. I am everywhere exploited exhibited exhausted and I am still holy. It doesn't matter what they do to you. Make you a permanent joke sell your heart off piece by piece robber princes ruin everything it's what they do like a baby cries.
