The presale is now live.
For $0 you can watch me
slowly replace meals with a can of tuna
and instant mashed potatoes.
Fruit to fight off scurvy
like anyone...
Algorithms may aggravate,
but they never forget.
They remember your needs:
wedding guest dress,
cheap meals,
how to survive a recession,
baby shower gif...
Any woman with fangs
knows her flicker resurrects
what should stay
rotting
in the Marianas Trench.
Swipe, swipe.
Swish. Next.
Plenty of fish—
and none...
