keeps the receipts. Each essay exposes how financial, technological, and bureaucratic systems manufacture exclusion, how they edit the record to protect themselves, and where cracks appear when people stop playing along.You’ll find:

refusal practices that turn private exhaustion into public evidence
grammar and rituals that make coercion feel inevitable
the economics of scarcity—and the industries built to defend it
