Synopsis:
Queer-minded beings united.
We are swarming. We embark on a journey to create a Queerdom in other worlds. Searching inward, we locate our own body cells as the refuge for Queerdom. A xano-bot engineered bacteriophage is employed as an auto-pilot phagggge, transporting our 3D scanned selves to enter the new found Queerdom. Upon landing, the body, situated within the cell structure made up with membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm, undergoes decompression and proceeds to morph into desired multiple selves. Cell connecting cell, a floating networked Queerdom is in the making. Through sensing, listening, voicing, touching, seeing, breathing, feeling, the shifting bodies are converged and reiterated as binding beings, transmitting compassion and sharing ultimate sensations across the deep Queerdom.
