Dear Spider

[Christine Aguila]

Dear Operator of that Big Flashy Thing:



Well, look here: my arachnid mates & I have been here a lot longer than you 
humanoid interlopers, and we're tired of your voyeuristic technology with 
its relentless objectification of everything in sight.   It's your hegemonic 
condescension, which makes you all have such bad manners.  So there!  I'll 
leap wherever I want, you, you unrelenting-objectifier.



The Spider in your bedroom
