Cancelled

Cancelled On ground of disrespect Wait, what did I say? Oh, daddy issues Well, I did not make fun of you Your father already did I was merely agreeing with him Ridiculous Next

Cancel your father if you have to What’s that gotta do with me? I reviewed his application Therefore he had a point

I don’t know your fathers Individually But I can see them Through you Transparent That is the wound? Your father’s opinion? Let’s see what happens if I agree with the old man, oh no, what happens if I do this? Someone reminds me that I’m an orphan That’s what happens Ridiculous Next

Fortunately My wound is stronger than yours I repurposed that and redirected it Outwards Look what you’ve done Technically I did that If it fails, blame them If it succeeds, it was me

Micromanaging me is the quickest way to ensure that I will hit that eject button. My services have been revoked. Too dramatic? I know. Why are you late? Why are you absent? Why aren’t you working enough? Easy. I’ll exit the system. Say something now.

Employee of the year everybody I am self managing Self reliant Independent work Is that an impossible concept for you people?

An excellent manager is one that spawns in front of me every once in a while, gives me a puzzle and says Good Luck! No way, hit the jackpot. Next.

Don’t ask me why I have a lot of free time Ask the job market Ask the workplace why the work was so ridiculously easy to automate After that is done Ask them why there was no puzzle to replace the old one

I can complain about my family. I retain that right. Anybody else? No one asked for your opinion. Next.

Belonging does not require blind following. If you care about your place in the world, wouldn’t you provide constructive criticism every time reality issued you an opportunity to do so? Exactly. Next.

90 percent of my energy is exhausted by performing my normal persona in public. I use the remaining ten to change the world. My bare minimum is better than your maximum. Next.

Can I sing? Absolutely not Maybe I mean technically I can Who said being good was the benchmark I do it because I want to and I can

Again Audacity and nothing else Everyone needs to HEAR this Not they do not, Mariam They do not But they will anyway Next

I don’t have friends because I have a strict policy It isn’t fair to anyone You know the last conversation before you decide to never try to reconnect with them again Happens way more than you think

I’m terrible I know You don’t know how carrying those on my shoulder felt like Because I was basically performing That was a manufactured Mariam I don’t feel like playing the part anymore So goodbye Unless you want to stay for the real one Your move

Hurt people’s feelings Probably Definitely So all of that meant nothing to you? No, it has Chapter closed

What happens if I get a perfume I don’t like Why would I do that Find another purpose immediately Now it’s something else entirely Now it smells like me

That makes no sense You buy things without reading everybody’s reviews first? Yes Yes I do I don’t need to smell it I need to have it I’ll know what to do with it Next

What are those? Your replacements Wait, let me see I’m reviewing them one by one This is the best that you got? No wonder Next

If you wanted me to feel threatened Or fight for a position in your life Or scare me into working harder for your approval Well, the least you could do is quality assurance

I understand They might look like worthy opponents From your side Not my problem The winner takes it all I don’t lose Therefore losing you is a win in my dictionary

In conclusion Grown ass men acting like the prize Here we go again Be creative at least

I don’t care This is war I will flip the table on any of you men Yes, we can still be civil But for all intents and purposes You are all cancelled Until further notice Next

I don’t know how match-making is done Traditionally I locate woman with desirable personality traits I suggest the match very vaguely to my brother I am then faced with a hostile HR department Qualifications? Degrees? Never mind I’ll go look again Next

I’m not joking I’m serious I don’t even ask for a photo What does she look like? Like her sister Good enough I know enough information to proceed This is the worst possible approach I think

I can see now how strange that is People were moving differently Pretty? Acquire I removed that specification completely Why does it matter? All women are beautiful Therefore unimportant detail Ridiculously me No wonder the matchmaking is failing

Cancer I know about cancer I also know it failed completely In killing those women Physically? Very stubborn Cancer Cancer More cancer Spiritually and psychologically? We are making fun of it What happened to your hair? No, I know you lost it I’m asking why it decided to grow out curly

This isn’t funny Cancer is serious Okay Let me search my database for more ammo What did you ask your doctor again? No, I want to hear it from you Apparently she walked in with a list Doctor, I cannot sleep Prescribe me those Who’s the doctor now? Ridiculous Next

Send cancer our way We’ll turn it into material Content Everybody, my body is rebelling against me My brain is retiring My nights are sleepless And if anyone asks I’ll tell them it was an evil eye Blame me for being sick? Uno reverse It is everybody’s fault for not averting their gaze

I don’t actually have cancer guys As far as I know It attacked my loved ones I am simply retaliating Ridiculous Next

Your fault Her fault For being so lenient For walking around boundary less Is it really? Is it her fault? Let’s consult Gabor Mate I forgot about you man Explain that to me Well, she let shit go for way too long There we go Punished for kindness Thanks, doc Ridiculous Next

Next on the agenda Chronic illnesses What the hell, sure How do I kill it before it kills me? Say no That easy? Remove yourself from the equation Done I gained my healthy weight back Thanks everybody Problem solved Next

I said no I wrote it out of Narrative Pages and pages dedicated to my body How dare you turn your back on me now? You want proof? My face is the proof Bones ceased to stick out like a sore thumb

I was sick I was very sick Then sent me to work anyway Thank you guys for noticing and intervening I fixed it myself No thanks to any of you Next

I neglected my body Did not feed it whatsoever Who noticed? An intern Thanks a lot Everyone else? Crickets Next

Scanned the hierarchy up and down Right and left Does anybody care? They do They did care Not because of my health Because apparently it was interfering with the aestheticism of the place

Other people noticed too The ones that were ejected New management kicked them out They tried dragging me out with them I had quit before they even intervened Then the negotiations started That’s why Australia is cancelled Because of one guy Next

No one dares to fire me guys There were meetings All of that for me? The board stayed there for months I saw it every time I passed by What was written on it? The restructuring of Mariam’s responsibilities Because Mariam had all the power In one place All of the leverages Why did I go back? A friend begged me to You’re making a grave mistake Was I? Did I? My mistake was going back

I know how ridiculous that sounds Mom gathered the elders and sent them my way The patriarchal heads of the town I was not convinced On friend calls me I return no questions asked

The career advisor needs advice What on earth am I supposed to do now? I could quit I could keep going I could find another job I could simply exit that whole machinery and go home Therefore I will do nothing They might forcibly remove me themselves Then I won’t have to decide

Deadline I solved the problem at hand There was no deadline No one asked for that Officially Is anybody else working on the same thesis that I finished and failed to alert the authorities of? People are familiar because I allowed them to be For too long I am not who you still think I am

Passion Where do I outsource mine from Absolutely no idea It is self generating When I was done setting my life on fire I started the flamethrower

Yes I am in India’s network too I thought that was self-evident The intellectual one Obviously

Again I barely ever left town They came to me Next

Uzbekistan Ukraine Why? No idea But they’re in there Next

I had a job Traditionally Or what was EXPECTED of me Go mingle with the local community Why? I mean I will and I did But why stop there? They gave me a UN level employee database And asked me not to touch it What happens if I do this? Activate the global network Click the button Next

Iran Academics and Doctors Obviously It’s not obvious? Oh Next

Add Sudan to the list of Doctors Next

I do not wish to start something But Uzbekistan = vigilante hacker No more questions Next

I took ONE class in uni One That is all Politics 101 Probably even 100 Elective The starter one You guys messed up Next

Cuba? Why are you guys suddenly cuban? The music teacher said so Oh Mind if I add that to my network too Next

Australia might need an official request for amnesty That is all Next

My network was not local I mean it was not ONLY local Tough luck People from all over the world are notified

A woman gets beat up in some obscure town and you think you can hide her from the world. I clicked a couple buttons. Oops. Next.

Put me on a plane What was that supposed to accomplish? Shopping Shopping was accomplished The whole world was notified anyway They know me They know my face Connect the dots Infer the implication So that’s how they treat women back there

Fix the PR disaster yourselves I did what I had to do Your move Next

Yes I started the fire From Thailand In between shopping mall trips Next

Idiotic So I was not an Influencer Worked in IT That doesn’t make this better It makes it worse for all of you They were trying to keep me hostage By promoting me Release me Also, did you people forget about Globalization? The concept Did it ever occur to you? Who thought it was a good idea to hand me a phone and a WiFi connection? I started an International fire now You guys happy? Next

This platform was supposed to be a secret place? Watch me activate my network in real time Done Next

There No more secrecy If that’s what keeps killing us Headline: Mariam’s Network Activated All I did was toggle a couple of buttons from setting

That’s the consequence button I just clicked What happens if I do this? I have no idea But I clicked it anyway Next

I do not have Italy on the roster But my sister does Can we deploy that? Next

Yes, he was popular on Instagram Thanks for asking I worked very hard scanning those photographs The plan worked Of course Next

Am I not scared? Not really A bit It isn’t really undoable So what’s the point? You can’t force people to unknow me Unsee my face Unread my words They already did I can die in peace now

I did it before I did it again Buttons Tiny buttons On a silly phone I didn’t even retrieve the monster I mean laptop Imagine if I had done that

You have a reputation I do? Promise? That’s going to come in handy Reactivate the reputation program

I did something Sure you did No, really, I clicked some buttons That’s not nothing It is almost nothing But not quite Next

Men Friendships with men are exhausting Mostly Usually What do you want now? Some ego boost? I don’t have any

I only give those away if they are worthy I don’t generate them They are self generating All I do is extend a thumbs up

No I don’t go around liking every time someone opens their mouth to say something Defeats the whole purpose You get a start if you completed the assignment

People found your twitter account Oh no I wonder how that happened Anyway Next

Visibility will kill me? No, you will kill me Visibility will broadcast the scene

I can spot them Geniuses Socially idiotic Tripping over their words Wildly different than the loud idiots Those one are actually idiotic

I have nothing to hide Why’d I write down all of that then? To read it in my living room? Don’t be absurd

No worries Most of the people who would incriminate me Have zero reading comprehension They won’t read it Obviously Next

Stop using that guy’s face as a reaction You are killing me From laughter Next

You guys are characters I reference you all the time This is becoming a problem

Trigger me with a word One word Now it’s a study case Here we go again Why am I villainizing real people? Because this is my Narrative

Easier than taking it up with the person themselves in my opinion. They start interrupting my monologue and changing their statements in real time. It already happened, I saw it, I read it. No take backs. Next.

At this point 3 gentlemen may be left in my roster. What have I done? Nothing. They did it. Next.

I forgot to inform you about the downsizing? I’ve been writing for months. Read. Comprehend. Changed the terms. Of agreement. And posted them. For all to see. No more questions. Next. You guys signed it without reading again? Classic.

The Narrative is writing itself at this point. Apparently, my birthday said I was a pearl. According to what? To me. To my birthday. Science? No, Mariam’s birthday translates into pearl. Because of course it would, she’s been talking about it for weeks on end.

Can I have a color assigned to me at least like the rest of the kids? No, I get Pearl. What does that even mean. Could have said white, the Pearl is there to torment me. Staring at me, challenging me to disagree with it. I do not. I have made the claim already, this is just another evidence. Put that next to the rest of them. Next.

Ruthless Not adding value to my life anymore? Discarded Anyway, Reality seems to listen to me and act You said you wanted a Pearl? Give her all of them Real, fictional, metaphorical, fake Unimportant Is it a Pearl? Send it to Mariam

New rule I will not participate in any mutual self deprecating humor. You can do that yourself, do not drag me down with you. I will not laugh, I will not overcorrect or try to understand the humor. It sounds real enough for me to sound the alarms. Next.

Mariam laughed Did you know that could be used as evidence? It does not automatically mean agreement

Endorsement That’s the word? Interesting I didn’t know I definitely did not take advantage of THAT ambiguity too

Quit the job Lived alone Got a low demanding job Naturally I would somehow end up in a university Not yet Give me a couple of years more

Technical workaround Publish everything when I die Even if it sets back humanity decades

I’m abandoning civilization because I’m avoiding paperwork? Yes, yes I am. Sounds like something I would have ended up doing anywhere. The Lore agrees. Ridiculous. I will not set foot in a university, send one my way if you have to. Next.

Yes, I listen to that on my way home as if I was a soldier coming home from war. Ma’am, this is literally barely a cross-country roadtrip. Less than an hour and a half, people. The drama. I live for that shit. Next.

I’ve never been there. The battlefield. The whole thing is theatrical. That’s why it works. The warrior is on his way back. Play the soundtrack. Perfect. Driving is boring, that’s why I make it a Production. Next.

You have the knowledge, the real life experience. All I have is poor translation. I THINK this is how it feels like. No one disagreed with me yet, so I’ll take that as confirmation. Biased? Obviously. My Narrative. My Soundtrack. My War. Next.

Why’s everyone forgetting about the war? You should have that in mind before you interact with me. I will take your words and enter them in my machine, my screen. Does this serve my Narrative in regard to the War we’re in the middle of? If no. Please. Shut up.

Conveniently, that filters out everyone who tells me I’m wrong. Or stupid. Or generally any comment that happens to trigger me. Perfect. Laid down the rules for engagement. Moving on.

I am a genius That is an objective statement Not up for debate Not a negotiation Physical reality Now who wants to employ this intelligence in their side of the War? Apparently nobody Which is concerning Less work for me

This is a dictatorship? Correct You get a point for noticing That’s the assumption everyone is expected to have before attempting a conversation with The General Don’t waste my time Don’t send me idiotic reels Unless I specifically asked you to

They aren’t just reels They aren’t just TikToks They are weapons I know because I used them For army recruitment purposes Don’t ask Anyway They take up mental space Mine is valuable I protect it Next

You guys know about that The brainwashing campaign When I spammed everyone’s Instagram reel feed It worked Next

People were alarmed As they should have been What’s going on? A reel exchange system One rule I overtake the system SUCCESS

I don’t create the circumstances They show up on my front door Then I exploit them That is a whole Social Media Case Study Someone added me to a group That’s all

I don’t understand the mechanism There is a group Now what? How does this work? What happens if I do this? Can I use this to infiltrate people’s mindsets?

That’ll teach them not to include me again Could you please behave normally for once? Why’s an Instagram group chat the spawn point for a set of domino pieces falling one by one by one, one reel at a time, one by one by one by one

Don’t feel left out guys Nothing happens on that group Except Mariam Mariam happens I happened to happen There were funny reels received in the process I laughed

I was supposed to be making friends The mission swayed way off course Why is this a military campaign again? Well, if I told them beforehand They would have left Or kicked me out Yes You guys can go back and check Reels Just reels No debriefing of a sophisticated operation Stupid reels Some of them were even AI

Cult The group was named Cult Bitch please Of course I would take that literally

You mean to tell me That wasn’t grounds for a social experiment On the danger of Groupthink? I was not the cult leader I repeat I was not the official cult leader I was operating under an alias with a cat for a pfp

I do not need company in the bathroom GEORGE Seriously, what does he think is happening? I will accompany and protect you From the evil waters Ridiculous Next

No He didn’t say that He’s a cat He doesn’t speak human This is my personal reinterpretation of his behavior Okay Bye

Why do I shop like that? Like what? Like it’s a militaristic undercover operation Get as much neutral pieces of clothing as humanly possible Pay, don’t forget to pay again Then dash out the door I don’t even know They look good when I put them on

Don’t piss me off Why do I have to deploy the consequences every time someone does that? Just don’t Universal Rule Don’t piss Mariam off What pisses me off? Sometimes it’s a misplaced letter or word With implications attached Good luck figuring that out

Why are you guys fighting over camels again? I’ve seen them They exist Anyway Walking on eggshells Correct Everybody should do that Around me Approaching? Eggshells Departing? Eggshells Breathing in my direction? Also eggshells

Straight to jail Not a physical one People keep misinterpreting that I repeat I have never been to a real official jail Only a household Anywho That’s where all men must start out Release them? There is no jail Catch up Next

Camels existed when my mom’s uncle was fighting bandits one armed, that is all I’m saying. Next.

Obviously He was traveling equipped with a camel You can’t really drive in the desert Also, cars were barely even a thing yet Okay Bye

If anyone needs any extra info I’ll be here guarding the ancestral archive Now that we’ve established the doctrine Time for dinner

Pursue higher education to procrastinate adulthood? No, launch me straight into that with zero knowledge of the existing rules. Okay, I did know about them. Did not change anything. Pursue adulthood and keep encountering higher education on your way. I do not know what you want from me. Leave me alone. Next.

I am not taking this to an institution. Real life is the institution. The university built itself around my mere existence. I had nothing to do with this. That is how I operate in Real Life. New person. Talk to them. Oh, they have something to teach me, right? Right? You guys were talking to randos with no plan in mind whatsoever? No one informed me. Ignorance. Weaponized. Next.

The jewel was my brain You guys got stuck On my face On my body Idiots Next

How do I know I’m a genius? Well, I consulted the specialists I asked the smartest person I know Me

Are people allowed to challenge that statement? Obviously yes Keeping in mind the consequences will be buffering in the background Next

Did I pavlov train my timeline inhabitants into releasing more creatively personal content? No, how would I do that even, LIKES

Don’t ask Don’t look at me They handed me the concept of social media And ran off before I could even ask So naturally What happens if I do this? Next

Ambulances The Lore I remember three instances Why am I in a submarine with aliens? Why am I on a wheel chair when I can perfectly walk myself Probably to not make a run for it before being admitted I wasn’t going to do it My curiosity won over my self-perseverance What happens if I do this? Psychiatric hospital edition They were very welcoming Why is SHE on a chair? Girl, I was wondering the same thing I made friends One was nonverbal Naturally The other was oververbal Too verbal Kept coming into my room while I was trying to sleep, can I have some of your snacks Girl, take the whole inventory and let me sleep in

Spotify is cancelled I found the culprit My method has been compromised Also, I told everyone about it Taking up all the space I should relocate it to my laptop

I, Tonya Excellent movie Setting: Computer Lab Characters: Mariam, some poor students I recruited on my way to the lab That’s where I watched it No, no students were harmed They were doing their missed tests Also avoiding class I’ll allow it I was avoiding work too While doing the work

Everything Everywhere All At Once Setting: Science Lab Characters: IT Support, Lab Technician This time it was displayed on the board We never finished it We ran off the premises and went for a drive No students were harmed, they were off for the summer, naturally

That was a job Not raw material Oh yeah? Then why’d you hand it over to ME You know what I do with stuff

I grounded Spotify for about 5 minutes Come back to me Please Next

Nothing is allowed to Just Exist in my universe Why do you have a collection of vintage shoes and high heels sitting right there in your closet? I’m not a heel person, but I know a cash grab when I see one. Should have taken it home with me. I know if I was my cousin I’d sell my mom’s vintage collection in the black market probably.
