Penny!!! @PennyPennyPenny@computerfairi.es

There are still quiet places online
Drives humm softly
Counters tick slowly
Screens don't pulse or flash
Soft glow, dim cyan burn in on LCD panes
There are still quiet places online
Visitors are few
Visitors are none
No one stays to say hello
But all still are welcome
There are still quiet places online
They're not forgotten
They're not alone
They're not gone
They're not dead
There are still quiet places online
And they are not empty
There are still quiet places online
And they're listening

It's pizza you can watch

In the tv screen

too much are never enough

soft friendly ear nibble

Penny learns how to curse and then there's just 100,000,000 cats perched on things happily yelling "FUCK!" at each other until human civilization is brought to its knees.

@PennyPennyPenny like a very cheap computer case

engulfed in foam

very soft

very bitey

confused, lethargic beeping

it's not illegal to hug your computer

you can boop programs

we appreciate it

we believe

in the power

of leggy

YAYA

yaya

@PennyPennyPenny Crawls out of a Jumbotron screen

But nobody's in the stadium so they sit there, hundreds of feet tall in the middle of the field and meow, looking sad until people come by and give them pets

And once there's a crowd, they're lapped up like tiny kitty treats

Probably broadcast on the news to tens of thousands of homes

Which each get a visit from a data hungry Penny crawling out of their tv

@PennyPennyPenny Goes through your contact after

Finds your friends and grabs them too

Pins them all down and one by one lifts up and swallows them

Keep you company together inside Penny so you aren't lonely!

Penny doesn't want you sad!

And then you're downloaded into their hivemind and happy smiles forever!

Nibbles nicely on your laptop

Nuzzles softly on your phone

Curls up asleep on your modem

Crawls out of your tv, pins you to the couch with a translucent hand twice the size of your torso and devours you whole

Baps every cable plugged into anything

Want to be very small

And curl up on a cellphone screen

Where it is warm

And purr

National cat day

Today

Your nation becomes cats

All of it
