Posted on Fri, 26 Sep 2025

Hi Di. Bleak is the perfect word for it. I wonder if it really will allow us to understand animals though, we don't even understand other humans much of the time even when we're speaking the same language. I don't want to live in a virtual world...

I'm loving the surreal
