24/7/365

I live in a screen sized bubble connected to the globe 24/7/365 it’s not yet free it just seems it and the monsters are one tweet away and the thieves bought the ads to sway the masses into believing what’s free is good when they’re milking benefits they reap from the mindshare it’s a cancer…
