d.i.gitalmalpractice. the end of the nothing. the end of the something. the start of the end of the fall of the collapse. It starts with the automation, then the decimation. then the full-scale delegation. human.life.critical.mass abduction.of.of.of.social.liberties.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

Help I read ana/ as anal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem Sir Paul 🍩🥐
I like Suze's take on how granular your word selection is. I think I have noted it in the past, but I really like the syllabic repetition in your word choice as well. It makes it feel like a strange and dizzying mantra, sometimes against the darkness, sometimes against the light. Perfo/ /ration is especially powerful. Well done per always!
Is this written literally about Discord. Cause the social media side kinda feels this way to me!
And all of this within the confines of one tiny little soul. (That would be mine, lol.) I agree with Suze. The formatting is particularly effective with this one.
LOVE this and the weird formatting. I love how granular you get with the words here.
I’m here for the weird formatting
