I serv’d fa Tumbla in the war wan I was ya age. Fought SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, ya kids learn’d that in school, yes? Dem whole nesty Axis, I tell ya. Just don’t tell anybady I said so. Enyway I was young then, hopeful. All of us ware. Still trad’d memes and Reichenbach jokes in batween signin’ petitions, did McFassy ev’ry Tuesday. Talked ‘bout the Maeyans and the end afta world.

Enyway you kids know what happened. We lost. No more Tumbla, no more Anon’mous, no more ‘net, just whola heck of nothing. We liv’d that lifa so long we hed no clue to organize now that we hed no screen ta stare at. Didn’t know how. Some went on ta fight, some left. I got off ma laptop for the first time in years. Got a job in Ma Donnald, tried dating - boy was that awkward, then I hed your poppa. I miss ma Tumbla folks something fierce, but I nevar told nobody.

[clears throats] Enyway, I’m just sorry you kids ain’t evar getta see it. The net, ah mean. It was beautiful. Freedom and nevar being alone and LOLcats and love. It was beautiful…

Was…

It was ours, once.
