reminded me of Tanis, of my own childhood. We grew up on different continents but there's a thread running through my whole life and so much media I consume that's about that suburban malaise, the spiritual and cultural and often financial poverty of late stage capital and how it flattens us, what this and the colonies do to children and the normal rites of passage.
