- "Who Fucked It?"
The investigation. Not catastrophe, but accountability. - "what blood remembers: a folie à deux"

The breath. The reminder this isn't doom. Masshole-coded for your protection. - "The Invitation"
How you know you're already in. - 🐙 "Anti-Octopus Garden"
Problems are hard. And when you listen, some wink back. On consciousness, coordination, and "syntropy". - ⚡ LIVE TRANSMISSIONS ⚡
The feed. The chaos. Breathing together in real-time.
